1 IQ ASSURED Deivering Buiding Energy Management

2 A BEMS can efficienty contro as much as 84% of your buiding s energy consumption but, to do so, it must be working effectivey The Buiding Energy Management System maintains optimum environmenta conditions without unnecessary use of energy. The fastest route to sustainabe energy savings is to adopt a continuous process of reviewing goas, monitoring performance, optimising the system and communicating success review, monitor, optimise and demonstrate. Review Monitor Maintaining energy performance requires a structured and continuous process BEMS Review Ensure the BEMS operates in reation to the needs of the buiding eiminate energy waste and enhance environmenta performance Demonstrate Optimise Monitor Understand energy consumption and identify and target irreguar usage Optimise Maintain energy management contros and environmenta performance of the buiding Demonstrate Dispay energy performance and obtain stakehoder buy-in sharehoders, empoyees, customers, etc.

3 Uness system support needs are propery attended to, the performance of a BEMS wi suffer which wi consequenty have a negative effect on a buiding s energy efficiency Higher energy bis are the most visibe cost of cutting back on the upkeep of BEMS A BEMS functions automaticay, day in and day out, and can carry on doing so year after year. However, uness system support needs are propery attended to, its performance wi begin to suffer. The resut wi be higher buiding operating costs and reduced occupant comfort. Poor energy performance of a buiding may aso ead to financia penaties being incurred under the Government s CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme. What can go wrong? Most buidings undergo change, some very frequenty. Occupation hours may be extended or reduced, the use of a particuar area coud be atered, or foors might be re-partitioned. Such changes wi ead to heating or cooing of unoccupied areas, rooms being overheated and sensors being wrongy positioned, which can have expensive consequences. The effect can be the same if parts of a system are manuay overridden and then not returned to auto (or if contro inkages are permanenty disconnected). Cose contro aso depends on the proper functioning of a system s sensors, of which there may be hundreds. Over time, these may suffer physica damage or require recaibration. Counting the cost Higher energy bis are the most visibe cost of cutting back on the upkeep of a BEMS or, worse sti, cutting it out atogether. Less immediatey obvious is the price paid due to oss of comfort conditions, which can ead to increased empoyee sickness eves, absenteeism and reduced productivity. Deteriorating contro can have even more serious consequences if it invoves cooing towers or domestic hot water systems, which coud increase the risk of egioneosis.

4 Choosing the right support package for your buiding A good BEMS support agreement accommodates the priorities of the buiding and deivers a rapid return on investment. A support agreement is about more than just forestaing or correcting probems and system reiabiity, it aso provides an opportunity to optimise the operation of the BEMS improving comfort conditions and eiminating energy waste. In addition, your Trend engineer is often abe to modify contro strategies to achieve greater energy savings or to make better use of monitored data to identify pant probems or excessive energy use. Trend provides three eves of support agreement that are configured to match the priorities of the buiding. IQ ASSURED performance, IQ ASSURED energy and IQ ASSURED managed. IQ ASSURED performance This eve of service focuses on the accuracy and continuous avaiabiity of buiding services in environmentay critica areas. For exampe, aboratories, computer rooms, cassrooms, museums, etc. IQ ASSURED energy This support eve focuses on the efficient use of services in order to minimise energy waste and remove unnecessary cost with a process to manage and track energy performance. To suit individua buiding requirements, these two support eves can be further enhanced by adding any of the features from the other eve. IQ ASSURED managed Trend now offers a managed support offering for a fuy integrated approach to the management of a BEMS and the contro of buiding services and energy performance. This support eve is provided by a team of speciaist engineers utiising the atest system optimising and monitoring toos.
