Background
Power-Zero, a leading provider of energy management solutions, successfully implemented building energy management systems (BEMS) at two sites for IAC Automotive.
Challenge
IAC Automotive had an existing control system at the first site, which was outdated and inefficient
The second site was a new installation requiring a comprehensive BEMS. Power-Zero Optimise’s solution aimed to improve energy efficiency, reduce gas heating consumption and lower carbon emissions.
Solution
Power-Zero Optimise upgraded 2 sites to the specific requirements of IAC
Our expert team upgraded the existing control system at the first site, leveraging advanced BEMS technology. The system allowed for real-time monitoring and control of the building’s HVAC systems.
For the 2nd site, Power-Zero Optimise designed and implemented a brand-new BEMS tailored to the specific needs of the facility. The system integrated various sensors, controls and monitoring devices to optimise energy consumption, enhance operational efficiency, and reduce waste.
Real-time monitoring and control of the building’s HVAC systems
The system integrated various sensors, controls and monitoring devices.
Power-Zero helped IAC to reduce energy consumption by 77% and also reduced CO2 emissions by 425 tonnes
Result
Power-Zero Optimise
upgraded the BEMS at both sites which has resulted in over £130k annual cost reductions and is playing a significant role in helping IAC achieve it’s net zero targets.
Enhanced BEMS success
The upgraded BEMS at the first site achieved an impressive 69% reduction in gas heating consumption. This translated to cost savings of £54,000 annually and a substantial reduction of 174 tonnes of CO2 emissions. The system’s enhanced control capabilities and real-time data analysis facilitated proactive energy management and optimisation.
Annual cost reductions
The newly installed BEMS at the second site delivered even greater gas heating savings of 77%. This represented an annual cost reduction of £78,000 and an impressive decrease in CO2 emissions by 251 tonnes. The advanced BEMS provided comprehensive insights into energy usage patterns and enabled precise adjustments for optimal efficiency.
Expanding energy optimisation
The exceptional results achieved through the BEMS installations have encouraged the customer to look at expanding these systems to other sites. Power-Zero Optimise will collaborate with the customer to assess additional locations and identify opportunities for energy savings.
