High on the corporate agenda is the need to reduce energy consumption and meet legislation by designing, building and managing sustainable low carbon-emitting and flexible buildings.
These intelligent buildings work with their environment to maximise the use of the resources around them – such as the ambient temperature and available sunlight – while ensuring that services work together on a demand-driven basis to significantly reduce energy consumption.
i2S Energy configures buildings to operate on a demand driven basis so they only run when they need to. Using integration skills to interconnect heating, cooling and lighting, i2S Energy can deliver many specific projects to drive dramatic energy consumption savings, such as:
•
Optimising air flow within a room based on physical occupancy
•
Maximise natural ventilation and free cooling where possible through intelligent control
•
Set point and dead band optimisation
•
Fit variable speed drives to all key motors, fans and pumps
•
Review the zoning and sequencing of chillers and boilers
•
Timing controls to switch off heating and lighting in certain areas (often used with occupancy detection)
•
Lux or photocell (inc.dimming) to maximise natural light
•
PIR and occupancy detection for heating and lighting control
•
Zone based lighting configurations (soft wired for flexibility), such as specific circuits around the windows
