Integrating an Intelligent Building Operating System (IBOS) into a corporate office block in central Glasgow, encompassing a variety of building systems such as the Building Management System (BMS), central plant, chillers, boilers, Air Handling Units (AHUs), Low-Temperature Hot Water (LTHW) systems, and extract fans, offers a comprehensive approach to energy management and optimisation.

Below is an overview of the steps taken, the impact on energy usage, and the potential benefits.

Insights

The integration of IBOS in the central Glasgow corporate office block, coupled with the strategic implementation of optimisation rules, demonstrates a robust approach to managing and reducing energy consumption. The continuous monitoring and data-driven adjustments ensure that the building operates efficiently, balancing energy savings with occupant comfort and productivity. This case highlights the potential of smart building technologies to create more sustainable and cost-effective commercial buildings.

Further optimisation rules were subsequently applied to enhance energy efficiency, which included the optimisation of the running times of the plant.

Additionally, efficiencies were identified to reduce the impact on energy consumption due to the 24/7 occupation of a single floor in the building.
