GRD Development of Prototype
A BMS (Building Management System) plays an important safety function, controlling, monitoring, optimising, and reporting on facilities (ventilation, lighting, power, fire, security), as well as giving owners ability to optimise comfort/efficiency. Systems linked to BMS represent on average 55% of a building's energy usage. BMS comprises software+ hardware; leading to global opportunities for products and services. This $30bn industry employs over 0.5m staff and serves 150 countries. Over 10000 UK companies operate in this market. Almost every industrial and domestic building has at least one BMS Controller - a purpose-built unit that manages data (temperature, humidity, pressure, current, etc) which it uses to communicate instructions to BMS devices. Products that reduce energy and carbon emissions in buildings will be in increasing demand. Europe’s Energy 2020 document and Lisbon Treaty states “Energy efficiency is a key priority” and “the price of failure is too high”. Europe's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) targets enhancement opportunities at building controllers. Further, the Display Energy Certificates (DEC), Carbon Reduction Credits (CRC), BREEAM and IS016001, all require the use of a BMS – supporting estimates that the UK Energy market will reach £200bn by 2020 from £43bn now. BSEN 15232 was created to measure impact of intelligent building controls on energy in buildings - expected mandatory in future. This project addresses these problems. Following two successfully funded TSB grants (POM and POC - File Refs 700289 and 710518 respectively), we address the problems by developing a DOP Stage ‘Universal Controller that maximises interchangeability amongst BMS equipment, requires no wiring, no dedicated ‘expert’, uses common software, and maximises interoperability via the cloud. A low-cost ‘Plug and Play’ approach has been identified, based on SmartPhone tech that could satisfy current /future needs, and open significant $bn markets.

A BMS (Building Management System) plays one of the most important safety functions, controlling, monitoring, optimising, and reporting on facilities (ventilation, lighting, power, fire, security), as well as giving owners the ability to optimise comfort and efficiency. Systems linked to a BMS represent on average 55% of a building's energy usage. A BMS consists of software+ hardware; leading to global opportunities for products and services. Estimated at $30bn USD, the industry employs over 0.5m staff and serves 150 countries. Over 10000 UK companies operate in this market. Almost every industrial and domestic building has at least one BMS Controller - a purpose-built unit that manages data (related to temperature, humidity, pressure, current, etc) which it uses to communicate instructions to BMS devices. Products that reduce energy and carbon emissions in buildings will be in increasing demand. Europe’s Energy 2020 document and the Lisbon Treaty states “Energy efficiency is a key priority” and “the price of failure is too high”. Europe's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) targets enhancement opportunities at building controllers. Further, the Display Energy Certificates (DEC), Carbon Reduction Credits (CRC), BREEAM and IS016001, all require the use of a BMS – supporting estimates that the UK Energy market will reach £200bn by 2020 from £43bn today. BSEN 15232 (2012) was created to measure the impact of intelligent building controls on energy efficiency in buildings - expected mandatory in future building design. This project addresses an unmet need for an energy efficient ‘Universal Controller that maximises interchangeability amongst BMS equipment, requires no wiring, no dedicated ‘expert’, uses common software, and maximises interoperability via the cloud. A low-cost ‘Plug and Play’ approach has been identified based on Smart Phone tech that will achieve this, satisfying current & future legislation and opening up new global markets.
