Contracting Proposals which will form the basis of a Framework
agreement.
Provide a Standard specification for all future capital projects

which have any HVAC controls elements both those implemented
directly by the [INSERT ORGANISATIONS DETAILS] and on their
behalf through their partners.
Energy Performance element the BMS contractor is invited to

put forward proposals to utilise their expertise to assist the
[INSERT ORGANISATIONS DETAILS] in driving down their energy
cost though energy saving initiatives.

6.3 Description of Operation
The BMS control system should be designed to maximise the
efficiency of the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning plant
serving each building. The description of operations below and the
points schedule should be considered indicative and should be
further developed by the BMS Contractor based on detailed site
surveys and any further information obtained from site O&M
Manuals and by interrogation of the existing control system.
6.3.1 Heating Plant
27 | P a g e
Plant Description
Add specific project details
Plant operation
The plant is to be operated by hand/off/auto switches located on the
control panel fascia. In auto mode the heating plant is to be
operated by the BMS under demand from individual zone optimised
time-schedules,
The boilers are to operate in sequence with the duty boiler being
rotated on a weekly basis. Fault status for each boiler is to be
monitored on the BMS raising an alarm and activating the next
boiler in sequence.
The heating circulation pump-set are to operate on a duty/standby
basis with the duty pump rotated on a weekly basis. A differential
pressure switch installed across the pump set is to provide a flow
status on the BMS and facilitates auto-changeover in the event of
the duty pump failing.
The use of Inverter closed loop controls is encouraged for heating
circulation pump-sets and the contractor shall evaluate the
efficiencies associated with the deployment of inverter controls
Where applicable the flue dilution fan operates when there is
demand from the heating plant and/or HWS heater. A differential
pressure switch placed across the fan is to provide an air flow status
on the BMS, providing a critical alarm in the event of air flow failure.
Plant Safety interlocks
Pressurisation unit in the event of a fault on the pressurisation unit
the heating plant will be shutdown by hardwired interlock; fault
status will be monitored by the BMS and a high-level alarm raised.
Emergency plantroom safety circuit in the event of an emergency
knock-off button or thermal link being activated the gas valve and
mechanical plant will be shutdown by hardwire interlock; fault status
will be monitored by the BMS and a high-level alarm raised.
Fire alarm in the event of the fire alarm being activated the gas
valve and mechanical plant will be shutdown by hardwire interlock;
fault status will be monitored by the BMS and a high-level alarm
raised.
28 | P a g e
Control
i) Boiler start-up the boiler is demand lead, and is to be
enabled on demand from aggregated individual zone
optimiser / time-schedules / protection / flow demand (in the
case of DHW).
ii) Optimisation / tome controllers each heated zone (VT circuit,
CT circuit or isolated sub-zone) is to have an individual
optimiser / intelligent time controller. The BMS will monitor
the ambient temperature and space temperatures for each
zone to determine the optimum start and stop times. Where
a zone serves more than one floor a room temperature sensor
should be installed on each level in a representative location
away from any external influence (heat source, solar gain,
etc.). Each optimiser will generate a heating demand for the
boiler plant and its associated zone pumps. Unless otherwise
stated the optimiser will be set to match the zones core
occupancy hours with a optimiser and room temperature set
points set at 19C, or in line with the client organisations
environmental policies. An optimiser boost and or extend
function will allow the zone temperature to be met efficiently
outwith of normal operational hours.
iii) High outside air temperature interlock (eco setting) When
the external temperature reaches or exceeds 14 to 16C
(operator adjustable) or the zone temperature is above
approximately 23C (operator adjustable) the associated zone
heating plant is to shut down.
iv) Summer/winter/holiday control to allow the manual seasonal
control of the heating plant, status to be monitored by BMS
with an alarm being raised. Where there is a DHW system
controlled by the system, this is to remain operational.
v) Boiler sequencing
Condensing boilers - sequence the boilers to maintain a
compensated common boiler flow temperature initially set up
as shown in the table below. In addition the BMS also
monitors the boiler return temperature. Facility should also be
provided for space temperature influence of the compensated
temperature set point.

CT circuit The CT pumps are to operate
under demand from the AHU and reheat/fan coil unit
valves; demand being defined as a valve open by 25%
or more for 5 minutes.
ix)
Frost and Fabric Protection
Stage 1 activate circulation pumps when the outside

air temperature falls to 1C, and disable once OAT rises
to 3C.
Stage 2 activate heating system should the primary

circuit pipework temperature detect a temperature
below 10C. Open all AHU heat coil and zone heating
valves to allow heated water to flow. Disable once the
return temperature rises to 20C.
Stage 3 (fabric protection) - should the space

temperature in any zone fall below 12C the associated
heating plant should be operated to raise the
temperature by 1C.
x) Dry Cycling control (For boilers with an output of 200kW or

greater)| the BMS is to monitor the flow and return
temperatures for each boiler and calculates heat transfer
rates and establishes a load profile for each boiler. Firing of
the boiler is to be inhibited for light load conditions or dry
cycling (firing of the boiler due to standing loses).
6.3.2 HWS Plant
Plant Description
Plant Operation
31 | P a g e
HWS Heater
The HWS hot water heater is to operate by a dedicated BMS timeschedule. Fault status is to be monitored on the BMS raising an
alarm. A differential pressure switch is to be installed across the
HWS secondary pump provides a flow status on the BMS
(alternatively a current transformer may be used to prove pump
status).
The time-schedule will be set to meet the requirements of the site
and should be set such that the hot water is utilised during the day
so that there is minimal overnight HWS storage. Residential sites
will require 24/7 provision. For schools sites with HWS calorifiers it
may be appropriate to heat the system up for two or 3 discrete
periods of the day to match consumption requirements. This will
avoid the heating plant running continuously.
HWS Calorifier
Operation as above.
Primary HWS pumps are to operate in
sequence on a duty standby basis with the duty pump rotated on a
weekly basis. A differential pressure switch installed across the
pump set to provide a flow status on the BMS and facilitates autochangeover in the event of the duty pump failing. The de-strat
pump is enabled independently.

Operation as above. The BMS will monitor the PHE common fault
status from the packaged unit.
Control
HWS Heaters - operate under its integral controls and is set to
maintain a HWS flow temperature setpoint of 60C. The BMS is to
monitor the flow temperatures and raise alarms should the flow
temperature exceed 65C or fall below 55C (after a predetermined
period, initially set to 30 minutes). The BMS is to monitor and logs
the HWS return temperature.
HWS calorifiers the BMS is to modulate the HWS diverting valve to
maintain the HWS setpoint of 60C. A hi-limit thermostat fitted to
the calorifier de-energise the HWS valve actuator activate spring

7.4.1 Energy Performance Baselines and Monitoring.

The contractor shall provide an Energy Software Portal where the
[INSERT ORGANISATIONS DETAILS]s automated monitored and
targeted (aM&T) electricity and heating fuel (gas, oil, biomass) data
for each site can be viewed by the client at any time. The data will
be presented by automatically generated charts and reports.
The contractor will establish energy performance baseline figures for
each building served by the BMS. Energy building profiles for each
day of the previous base line periods shall be developed based on
historical data preferably from the [INSERT ORGANISATIONS
DETAILS]s half hour data (HHD) and installed sub-metering.
On a daily basis, energy data will be collected for each site using File
Transfer Protocol (FTP), transferred in CSV format or obtain directly
from sub-meters or directly from energy provider secure websites.
This data will automatically be tabulated and compared against the
building profiles for each site. Variations in data above
predetermined limits will generate an Energy Excess alarm and
potential waste reports etc.
In the event of an Energy Excess alarm the contractor will log the
event, carry out a thorough investigation to determine cause(s) of
excessive energy usage by remote BMS connection and provide a
detailed report detailing remedial actions taken and any appropriate
recommendations.
Using the Building Profile as a benchmark the contractor shall log all
HHD for electricity and gas and use this data to produce appropriate
reports and charts for each site. Charts will be provided for
consumption kWh, CO2 and .
The contractor will compare the baseline performance figures with
relevant benchmark figures (where these exist), depending upon the
building type.
The contractor will calculate weather connected moving annual
total consumption figures for each building and will produce a
report showing changes in consumption, relative to the baseline
figures along with relevant regression reports etc. The report
(format to be agreed with the [INSERT ORGANISATIONS DETAILS]),
43 | P a g e
will identify in particular, any buildings where the
consumption in increasing for example by Cusum analysis.
energy
Energy / MM&T Software / Portal - The contractor will produce and

host an Energy Portal (web based) to allow the [INSERT
ORGANISATIONS DETAILS] to access the reports and charts,
accessibility having a hierarchy control with usernames and
passwords.
The Portal shall have a Dashboard style layout which can be
configured
to
meet
the
requirements
of
the
[INSERT
ORGANISATIONS DETAILS].
Energy Tracker - The contractor shall forecast and track expected
savings as agreed by the [INSERT ORGANISATIONS DETAILS].
Forecasts shall be based on measuring current consumption and
against historical data after the data has been weather corrected
using official heating and cooling degree day data and any other
relevant driver variable.
Tracker information reports will include the following types of
information - percentage savings, cumulative savings, regression
quality and consumption before and after etc.
8.4.2 Review of BMS Set-Points. The contractor shall compile a log
sheet, on which they will record all BMS set-points with regard to
operating times and temperatures. The sheet will also include
space for the corresponding requirements of the [INSERT
ORGANISATIONS DETAILS] to be recorded (this to be determined in
consultation with [INSERT ORGANISATIONS DETAILS] estate or
energy staff).
Monthly or more frequently the contractor shall:
Confirm any changes in the [INSERT ORGANISATIONS

DETAILS]s time and temperature requirements (updating the
log sheet accordingly).
Ensure that the BMS is set in line with the [INSERT

ORGANISATIONS DETAILS]s latest requirements.
Use trend logs to confirm that operating times and

temperatures actually being delivered, match those set into
the BMS. This will include verification of any out-of-hours
44 | P a g e
plant operation (for example as may be covered by frost
protection).
Produce a concise report confirming the checks made and any

issues resulting.
7.4.3 Identification of Spend to Save Opportunities.

The
contractor will use his expertise and developing knowledge of the
[INSERT ORGANISATIONS DETAILS] and its services, to identify
potentially cost-effective opportunities to reduce the building energy
use by enhancements to the sites BMS and associated controls (for
example, the installation of additional zone valves).
The contractor shall present a business case for each proposal to
the [INSERT ORGANISATIONS DETAILS], defining installation costs
and itemised savings resulting from reduced energy use,
maintenance etc. The methodology used to estimate savings will be
clearly defined.
Implemented projects will be monitored by the Energy MM&T
software tracker.
It is anticipated that the [INSERT ORGANISATIONS DETAILS] will be
in a position to fund the installation cost-effective enhancements, as
an addition to this BMS contract. It may alternatively be feasible for
the Contractor to provide external funding or enter into an Energy
Performance type contract or share of savings arrangement.
7.4.4 Demand Response Opportunities
The contract is will consider the application of Demand Response
Opportunities; Triad charge avoidance and STOR.
Triad charges relate to the National Grids transmission charges.
They measure demand readings three times a year and use an
average of these readings to calculate Transmission Network Use of
System (TNUoS) charges. In March each year the National Grid
publishes the three highest maximum demand (MD) readings that
have occurred between November in the previous year and February
of the current year. A forecast of these dates is provided in
advance.
By reducing consumption by operating the standby
generators (and through load shedding) at the forecast times it is
possible to significantly reduce the charges.
45 | P a g e
STOR is one of National Grids most important tools for securing the
national electricity system in real time. Under the STOR
arrangements, National Grid pays a rent (termed availability) for
STOR capacity, and pays a usage charge (utilisation) when the
reserve is needed, e.g., during demand peaks, or when large power
stations fail. STOR is a year-round service. There are a number of
companies who tender for the National Grid STOR contracts and
recruit generator sites owners to meet the agreed capacity
requirement. The value of the STOR contract is dependent on a
tender negotiation and the number of hours of utilisation. Savings
can be achieved through load shedding of non-essential equipment,
e.g. HVAC chillers, pumps etc and by the operation of standby
generators, where applicable.
