Protecting our history

We optimise the BEMS/BMS in heritage buildings in a number of sectors including museums, galleries, churches, tourism, education, government and residential. Each sector has its own challenges including reducing energy, costs and visitor comfort.

BOSS CONTROLS helps to protect our history by utilising technology to be sympathetic to the building design and listed requirements. Many heritage buildings present energy management challenges because the fabric of the building wasn’t designed to be energy efficient, for example, single glazed windows and poor seals mean that energy leaks, contributing to global warming.

BOSS CONTROLS understands the challenges of each sector and each building type, meaning your estate is in safe hands. Below are the main areas that BOSS CONTROLS’ overcomes when managing energy, costs and occupancy comfort in heritage buildings.

Most of the heritage buildings we work in are listed and we are familiar with the challenges this presents. We utilise technology including wireless sensors to avoid damaging architecture or disturb identified asbestos on site. Our smart control strategies ensure that your building remains within the correct temperatures and humidity parameters as required.

We understand that buildings differ and therefore we recommend bespoke solutions to meet customer requirements. Our BMS/BEMS controls engineers are trained to the highest level enabling them to recommend scalable solutions to account for system expansion or temporary installations.

In more complex buildings your estates team require a front-end user interface, to assist in managing KPIs. BOSS CONTROLS can provide secure remote access to monitor your site and make the necessary changes at the touch of a button. Any alarm events will be clearly highlighted via, the user interface, email or mobile phone, reducing the risk of environmental damage to any artefacts.

Our BMS/BEMS controls systems have reduced some historically complex jobs down to simple tasks through smart BMS alarming rules. If you manage a multi-site estate, a central PC can collate and prioritise alarm events effectively allowing managers to deploy maintenance staff in an efficient manner.

Retrofitting BMS over complete replacement may save you money. By retrofitting BMS/BEMS controllers into existing panels provides the benefit of lesser downtime with the added value of smarter more energy efficient software. Most issues can be monitored and fixed remotely, reducing the cost of callouts. 

We ensure that everything is connected and communicating enabling you to make informed decisions over a stable and reliable network. We can provide smart network monitoring to ensure that devices are visible at all times.
