BEMS integral to safety and performance of building Cost Energy saving Environment Productivity Security Blackout threat – > now only 2% safety margin – Reduce loads – Ensure smooth transition 5 Making buildings better
Environmental Concerns versus money • 80% reduction in CO 2 emissions by 2050. Don’t talk to me about climate change when I’m – buildings 40% of energy use in the middle of a rain forest – Need to improve efficiency • power/ heat generation processes • energy efficiencies of buildings. • Corporate Social Responsibility • Pressures to change behaviour will grow. BUT • Only 40% of UK public will pay for climate change. • Businesses face similar pressures 6 Making buildings better
Cheaper Energy – The Prospect Is shale gas exploitable in an economic and sustainable way? US price of gas has plummeted . Will it impact significantly on UK gas price? What effects will this have on BEMS? 7 Making buildings better
The possible impact of Cheaper Gas • 90% commercial heating from natural gas. • If gas pricing falls significantly Companies are measures to reduce gas likely to scrutinise consumption by x% will be energy-saving schemes more “worth” less in terms of ROI. aggressively • Energy saving measures become uneconomic and/or greatly increase the payback 8 Making buildings better
Walking the Smart Tightrope The Future of Smart • Will shale gas extraction be Buildings economically attractive and politically acceptable? • Economic recovery uncertain? • Pace and impact of climate-change, & sacrifices needed unclear. • Shale gas will only delay the day when non-renewables are depleted. - A balancing-act between economics and the environment? 9 Making buildings better
Conclusions • Societal / business: concerns over CO 2 but balancing growth and jobs. • higher threshold for energy-saving investments. • still strong incentives to invest in “smart” building technology to: – environment and productivity – security – Interconnect with “smart” environment • more emphasis on analysing Big Data and basing responses on this. 10 Making buildings better

Consequences – intended and otherwise GOOD Testing is robust, repeatable & affordable Backed by International Standards since 1966 Proxy for build quality Buildings with good air tightness waste less energy Consistency of results Tools for resolving issues 35 Making buildings better
Consequences – intended or otherwise Designs with airtightness under 5 are increasingly likely to include MVHR 36 Making buildings better
MVHR – how not to install • Flexible ducting should be extended to a minimum of 90% of stretched length • No sagging (in which condensation can collect) • Must be insulated to prevent condensation 37 Making buildings better
Lack of understanding Flexible ductwork is cheap and quick to install and very forgiving However, when all the excess is stuffed back in the hole it came from, the effect on flow rate is dramatic – fan rating 25 l/s- actual delivery 5 l/s 38 Making buildings better
Getting it right first time Very low pressure fans and ventilation systems very sensitive to back pressure Standard hooded anemometers will not give an accurate reading without post measurement corrections BSRIA BG46/2013 39 Making buildings better
