BEMS maintenance that delivers and protects energy savings​

Only proper and regular maintenance can ensure your building energy management system (BEMS) will consistently deliver all year round. To Powell Systems, our regular proactive maintenance of your BEMS is more than simply checking if the entire system is working to specs as designed.

Proper and regular BEMS care ensures 24/7 performance

Powell Systems regularly perform software improvements and component upgrades to our systems, in response to changing conditions and legislation. Our maintenance packages are always top-tier and bring peace of mind for building owners, building operators and facilities teams. So the energy management cost savings that drive your return on investment (ROI) are continuously protected with a bespoke maintenance programme tending your BEMS.

Understanding the role of BEMS in energy savings

The BEMS is the brain of your building’s automated environment control system. Its built-in intelligence decides the best action to take after assessing the real-time data feed from its remote sensors. The BEMS does the brainwork of checking, thinking, decision-making and controlling. Its hardware and software are on the job night and day, 24/7/365. It doesn’t even take time off for Christmas holidays.

Required to always deliver trouble-free operations, the building management system must be properly and regularly maintained to perform this demanding role. A component failure or premature breakdown of the BEMS causes unwarranted uses of energy and even uncomfortable working conditions. This impacts profits and the building owner’s bottom line. As well, rooms and workspaces that are too warm or too cold bring discomfort to the occupants, affecting concentration and even leading to losses in productivity for tenants and resident businesses.

Powell’s efficient BEMS maintenance programme will provide:

• Regular system audits

A Powell maintenance programme checks that the components are indeed delivering what the BEMS asks, and confirms that the entire system is still working properly and accurately. A sensor that may have gone out of calibration will either be tuned or replaced if beyond repair.

• Integration of latest energy-saving technologies

Powell is licensed to install and maintain several brands of BEMS, including Johnson Controls and Trend (Honeywell). This close relationship with our partners has given Powell Systems access to the nuances and higher efficiency applications of their products and software. All to the benefit of our clients, Powell leverages this advantage to squeeze a lot more performance out of the same components.

• Preventative maintenance packages

Using the latest in remote sensing technology, Powell can also monitor your BEMS from our Head Office as part of a maintenance package. The BEMS is constantly being tweaked to perform better at every opportunity. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT is the Powell mantra when maintaining your control system. This principle ensures that energy savings are protected, resulting not only in maximised cost savings but in savings on time as well.

A well-maintained BEMS brings financial benefits

With today’s focus on sustainability and reducing carbon footprint, the emphasis has grown from the original ‘BMS’ concept to the more powerful ‘BEMS’ in building controls systems. Powell is a BEMS engineering company, with a big emphasis on the ‘E’ for Energy, i.e. the ‘E’ in BEMS. Our green maintenance services are packaged to deliver the sustainability you seek without sacrificing the return on investment (ROI) you worked hard for.
