Customer stories: Minster Building
Data-driven energy optimisation to decarbonise buildings and reduce energy costs.
The challenge
The Minster Building is an eight-level modern office environment with on-site microbrewery, swimming pool and gym. The building is managed by CBRE and they have employed Vertex to maintain the MEP services onsite.
Vertex's challenge was to:
- Transition to an energy focused contract to reduce the carbon footprint of the building on a cost-neutral basis.
- Maintain environmental and comfort standards.
- Improve the living and working environment for all building users.
- Reduce overall maintenance expenditure.
The solution
Smart Infrastructure Platform
SSE Energy Solution’s Smart Infrastructure platform brings a building, estate, or city’s data together all in one place as part of SSE Energy Solution’s ‘Whole System Thinking’ approach.
For Vertex and Minster Building, the Smart Infrastructure platform incorporates:
- Secure, remote access to the Building Energy Management System (BEMs).
- Remote fault identification and creation of critical alarms to minimise operational downtime.
- Remote meter access to utilities and BMS energy consumption data visualised in our Business Energy Intelligence (BEI) energy platform.
- Monthly reporting: energy consumption analysis, energy optimisation recommendations, and updates on lowering carbon emissions.
