Why Should Your BMS Be Serviced?

As energy costs rise and winters become harsher, ensuring your building operates efficiently has never been more critical. At BSE|Controls, we focus on optimising building performance to save energy, reduce costs, and enhance occupant comfort. Here’s why servicing your Building Management System (BMS) is a smart investment:

Reduce Energy Waste and Carbon Emissions

An inefficient BMS can lead to wasted energy and excessive carbon emissions. Systems that are outdated, improperly programmed, or not recalibrated to match seasonal changes or a building’s evolving needs can cost you more than you realise. Regular servicing can achieve:

• Energy savings of 30%-50%
• Carbon emissions reductions of 20%-60%
• Improve System Usability

Tailoring your BMS to provide actionable insights is key to effective building management. Regular servicing ensures:

• Simplified dashboards, showing prioritised information and alerts specific to your needs
• Enhanced control for staff or occupants, ensuring the building operates as expected
• Optimise Resource Consumption

By analysing historical data, we can identify areas of high energy, gas, or water consumption and implement improvements to reduce waste. Some common solutions include:

• Adjusting unrealistic setpoints
• Adding occupancy sensors for lighting and HVAC systems
• Implementing zoned scheduling for specific areas
• Identifying and addressing failed equipment or leaks
• Maximise system uptime with Preventive Maintenance

Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) is crucial for ensuring consistent performance of your BMS and related assets.

Regular checks not only extend the life of your equipment but also provide valuable insights for proactive improvements, benefiting building owners, maintenance teams, and service providers alike.
