The Objective
Improve comfort
while reducing energy bills
British Gas were looking for innovative ways to reduce their buildings’ energy use and carbon emissions, while maintaining high comfort and air quality levels for staff.
Even though the building was already well optimised by the FM team, they were looking to make further improvements using smart building innovation.
SOLUTION
Our system securely and anonymously detects occupancy levels and connects to the BMS via BACnet/IP. A demand-based HVAC control strategy was commissioned, which now allows the building to ‘breathe’ in line with real-time occupancy and significantly reduced cold draft complaints.” quality throughout the
building, including CO2 levels, humidity and temperature. This data is easily available to the FM team on LightFi’s Portal, via web or mobile interface.
