Harness teamwork and technology for maximum efficiency with a Powell BEMS

Installing a Powell Systems Building Energy Management System is the first key to unlocking the puzzle of balancing futureproofing vs cost savings

Energy, squeezing the most out of software and hardware to optimise the “E” in BEMS. Aside from our design and install packages, we offer green maintenance services that deliver sustainability without sacrificing Return on Investment (ROI).

Relying on Powell Systems BEMS

Our client base includes major health facilities in the UK and Ireland. Our team is proud to be involved in providing the country’s best scientists with the corresponding best in facilities. Among these are labs that must always be at a certain pressure or areas where the CO2 is suppressed to desirable levels that keep the researchers alert.

Powell Systems knows how

While good efficiency is par for our course, extracting maximum efficiency out of buildings is what we aim to routinely deliver. On top of this, investors, building owners and architectural designers count on Powell Systems for innovative solutions that further reduce their operating costs. In this arena, we have proprietary methodologies supported with leadingedge technology. Our robust team spirit has built a thirty-year track record of cuttingedge projects and satisfied clients. We are driven by a business philosophy of collaborating closely with our clients. We don’t just work for you; we work with you. This approach ensures that your project requirements are fully developed, and only the best products and services are delivered.

Better working in buildings with BEMS

Every building has equipment installed to make them comfortable, convenient and safe. Older buildings may be controlled by simple devices like timers counting down to an optimum Start. Newer buildings will have more sophisticated controls for weather compensation, CO2 sensing and optimum Start/Stop. These would be matched to the building’s purpose and intertwined with energy management. A computer-based Building Energy Management System (BEMS) is the key to unified implementation. The BEMS

“intelligence” algorithms decide the best possible action after evaluating the real-time data feed from its remote sensors. Acting as the brain, the BEMS does the checking, computing, decision-making and controlling. With its hardware and software working continuously 24/7, maximum operational/ functional efficiency can be achieved by the building’s Facilities Management team. One of Powell Systems’ latest innovations uses advanced remote access to monitor a client’s BEMS from their head office. It is then routinely tweaked to perform better in a cycle of continuous improvement.

Enhance sustainability with BEMS

In today’s construction industry, there is intense focus on sustainability and reducing carbon footprint. Strict new requirements have been added to legislation and regulation. Using best value net-zero solutions, the Powell Systems team has successfully achieved and even exceeded compliance for our clients across the health spectrum.

It’s now necessary to provide robust points of interface for PV cells, EV charging facilities and other emission-reducing components. We offer a wide range of manufacturers’ hardware configured to merge with new or existing equipment. These innovative uses of materials and equipment help to achieve net-zero building objectives as well as improve aesthetics and atmosphere.

Powell Systems is a BEMS engineering company, with a big emphasis on the “E” for

Powell Systems designed the BEMS for Royal Marsden Hospital’s Oak Cancer Centre in Sutton. It is integrated into the labs and other spaces of the Centre to provide close control and comfort in this very dynamic hospital environment. The development of this complex BEMS project required careful coordination with the different operations, including the Centre’s patient-centred day care.

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine collaborates with the Medical Research Council Unit halfway across the world in The Gambia. Here, we again demonstrated our expertise in BEMS for high performance laboratories, and in remote sensing. This gave the London School the ability to remotely monitor the system, thus providing positive support to The Gambia from their facility in London.

BEMS today, and in the future

Since every building is unique in its requirements, each client’s project needs its own bespoke control network: it’s never a clone of a BEMS from a previous job. Our in-house knowhow ensures that every one-off BEMS configuration we install is optimised around your investment and sustainability targets.

Powell Systems continue to be recognised in this growing field, winning accolades over the years. We work with you to lift your game in balancing cost equations involving design, installation, maintenance, and day-to-day operations against available technology, future proofing, or even change of purpose.

Get in touch, and take advantage of the decades of control systems experience that make Powell Systems one of the strongest players in the BEMS space. L
