Project Solution
GSTEC were the successful tenderers to undertake a complete replacement of the existing Building Management System with a Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Building Operation platform, incorporating a Building Management and Energy management System, BACnet IP Smart X controllers and Space Logic sensors.
Beyond the BMS and EMS, multiple Schneider Electric components and services have been specified by the building owner to allow for seamless integration of building services. This includes APC rack mount UPSs maintaining the active hardware on the new integrated communications network; Schneider Electric PLCs for 33 levels of louvre control system replacement and generator control system upgrades; and communicating MasterPact Air Circuit breakers in the building main switchboard upgrades.
The Schneider Electric solution provides enhanced data availability, visualisation and utilisation - improving the tenant experience, while driving a substantial environmental dividend through reduced energy consumption.
