BMS · BMS integrator (confidential)
Five school plant rooms, one Tridium panel standard
A BMS integrator is upgrading the building controls in schools and academies. We have designed and manufactured the BMS panels for five so far, all on Tridium JACE controllers, from a single wall-mounted panel to a two-enclosure Form 2 suite.

The challenge
BMS upgrades at schools, from a single outstation to a Form 2 suite with its own power distribution.
What we supplied
Tridium JACE BMS panels for five schools, most with a touchscreen on the door and, at one, power and hand/off/auto for the heating plant.
The result
The integrator's engineers find the same panel at each school, and repeat jobs start from a proven design.
The requirement
BMS panels for heating and ventilation upgrades at five schools and academies. Each carries a Tridium JACE controller with IO-R I/O modules and most have a touchscreen on the door. One needed a Form 2 suite in two enclosures with 200A power distribution; another needed two panels with an emergency stop.
The constraints
- Live schools: each panel had to arrive ready to fit in the time the site was available.
- A wide range of sizes, from a single 800x800mm panel to a two-enclosure Form 2 suite with copper busbar distribution.
- Where a panel replaces an old one, it has to take over that panel's plant as well as the BMS.
What we built
Every school gets the same Tridium platform, layout and labelling: supplies and MCBs, interposing relays, labelled terminals, and the JACE with its I/O modules. At the latest school the new panel also takes over power and hand/off/auto control of the boiler, pumps, gas valve and pressurisation set from the panel it replaces. Every panel is routine tested in Stoke-on-Trent.
Delivery
Each panel is made to its school's programme and despatched with its wiring diagram and test certificate, ready for the integrator's engineers to fit and commission.
The outcome
A schools programme on one controller platform and one drawing standard, so the integrator's engineers find the same panel at each school and repeat jobs start from a design that is already proven.

“Normally we'd expect a 6 to 8 week lead time on a panel build. In this case it was done in 12 working days, which is a testament to G&G Controls and SSE working together.”
- Wiring diagram, test certificate and 12-month warranty with every panel
- Built to BS EN 61439 and BS EN 60204-1 in Stoke-on-Trent
- We reply during working hours, usually the same working day

One MCCP for 64 motors in a water park plant room
The pool and water park plant room at Butlins Skegness needed a new MCCP to run every pump, blower and feature from one place, with a BMS interface for the integrator's controllers. We designed and built it in Stoke-on-Trent.

SSE Energy Solutions
A Form 2 outdoor BMS panel on the roof in 12 working days
SSE Energy Solutions were refitting the third floor of Highgate Mental Health Hospital in London: new walls, heating, HVAC, electrical and controls throughout, with a new BMS tying into the trust's existing Trend network. The panel for it had to sit on the roof, and the only crane was coming down in three weeks.
