Working closely with the M&E engineers, Building Design Partnership (BDP) in Dublin, Temperature Control Systems, which was responsible for the design, panel manufacture and commissioning of the BMS, chose to use a Priva Building Intelligence system. “Managing the HVAC services was a straightforward proposition,” said Charlie Carson, managing director of Temperature Control Systems, “the exceptional aspect of the project is the delivery, via the Priva BMS, of a wide range of data relating to building operation, which can be easily accessed by staff and students alike from a specially mounted touchscreen.”
Monitored energy results for the first year of the school’s operation indicate that its energy performance is twice as good as that of a school constructed to meet the good practice energy targets outlined in CIBSE Guide F.
