Replacing End-Of-Life Equipment
First step was getting rid of the tired equipment that was on its last legs. We replaced it with new systems better suited to how those buildings get used, so the spaces hold comfort properly across the day instead of drifting around or needing constant fiddling.
Installing The New BMS
We also put in a new Building Management System (BMS) to bring the control side up to scratch. That gives the school better control over heating and cooling and helps the systems run smarter in the background rather than just hammering away when they do not need to.
Running The Site More Efficiently
This upgrade was not just about new equipment for the sake of it. With the new systems and BMS working together, the school can run the buildings more efficiently and cut down wasted run time, which helps bring the power bills back under control.
Testing, Commissioning, and Handover
Once everything was in, we tested and commissioned the lot to make sure it was doing what it should. Then we handed it over as a clean, practical setup that is easy to live with.
Project Challenges and Solutions
Working Around a Live School
You cannot just shut down a school and do whatever you want. We planned the work to keep disruption low and keep things running smoothly while the changeover happened.
Keeping It Simple for the Site Team
The goal was better control and efficiency, not a complicated system no one wants to touch. The end result is straightforward to manage, with the smarter operation happening behind the scenes.
Client Feedback
The team at Perth College was happy to have the old end-of-life equipment replaced with a newer, more reliable setup. They also liked that the new BMS and upgraded systems give them better control and more efficient operation, without adding extra daily hassle.
