About this Project
Austec was responsible for the comprehensive Building Management System (BMS) control, which included managing a central air-cooled chilled-water plant and 11 chilled-water air-handling units (AHU) with 81 Variable Air Volume (VAV) units. We also oversaw the control of 27 supplementary air conditioning systems and 34 ventilation systems.
Our approach incorporated several energy-efficient control strategies for the air-handling units. These strategies included Optimum Start and Afterhours reporting for NABERs exclusion, supply air pressure control/reset by Variable Speed Drives (VSD), supply air temperature reset, economy cycle using return air enthalpy sensors, and CO2 control.
In addition, the BMS interfaced seamlessly with various systems, including hydraulic, lift, and the fire system. There was also a high-level interface to the Energy Management System (EMS) and lighting control system, ensuring integrated and efficient building operations.
