Building Management Systems

The company not only designs, manufactures and installs, but also commissions and maintains integrated energy management systems for the control of electrical equipment in buildings, including lighting and power, heating, ventilation and air conditioning.

As one of the largest systems integrators in the South West for Cylon, Trend and TAC, we are able to provide a tailor-made solution for many different applications.

Streamlined Maintenance
Our protocols have been designed to talk to the leading air conditioning equipment manufacturers including Mitsubishi, Daikin and Toshiba, which now enables precise identification of faults, allowing maintenance engineers to be armed with the exact parts to make the repair.

Plant failures are notified to the host as soon as they occur, enabling planned repair and maintenance to be undertaken, generally before the client is aware of faults.

Technical Support Centre Service (Click here for further information)
For the larger installations, a remote monitoring and control Technical Support Centre service is available. This uses computer terminals and ISDN lines to keep watch on the systems at each site. In this way we can ensure services are performing safely and with maximum energy efficiency.

Energy Efficiency
The Carbon Fuel Levy has forced businesses to think very seriously about energy efficiency. Our building management systems can help companies to minimise the impact of this levy by using our unique energy management tool to highlight energy consumption and check bills. Consumption of gas and water is also carried out providing a complete package.

Case Studies
Some of the clients that have so far discovered the benefits of this approach to energy management and are capitalising on it include Next, Boots, Russell & Bromley, Argos, Alliance & Leicester, Pizza Hut and Choice and many others.

For Next (right), Severn Controls has installed energy management control systems in some 350 stores to date. Each store's system is controlled remotely from our own monitoring centre. Heating, air conditioning and lighting are adjusted to maintain ideal working conditions and a pleasant ambience for customers, whilst keeping energy usage to a minimum. The system also incorporates time clock adjustments for exceptional trading times etc, e.g. bank holidays, sales.

Building management systems installed by Severn Controls at Delphi’s Stonehouse factory and offices have greatly reduced maintenance, cutting energy usage by around 10 per cent and correspondingly reducing the Carbon Fuel Levy Charge payable by the company.
