Brown Thomas:\r\nEnergy Optimisation of HVAC and BMS<\/h1>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”3.3.1″ module_alignment=”left” animation_style=”slide” animation_intensity_slide=”20%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” locked=”off” \/][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.3.1″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” max_width=”90%” custom_margin=”|||” animation_style=”flip” animation_direction=”left” animation_intensity_flip=”30%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%”]\r\n\r\nBrown Thomas, situated in the heart of Cork City, is a high-end department store catering to a large clientele. The building has four floors, three of which are open to customers, with a total sales floor area of roughly 5,300 m2.\r\n\r\nThe Energy Efficiency works in Brown Thomas Cork were funded jointly by Sirus Group and SEAI. Brown Thomas incurred zero upfront costs, nor any risk. The initial 20% of the total project capital cost was provided by SEAI under the Better Energy Workplace (BEW) Programme 2012. The remaining 80% of funds were provided by Sirus under an ESCO type contract.\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_font=”|600|||||||” header_2_font_size=”30px” header_2_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”||5px|” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”top” animation_intensity_slide=”20%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%”]\r\n\r\n

Originally, the AHU’s\u00a0were operating at fixed volume airflow during store opening hours. The total AHU motor electrical load is 129kW. In addition, there are two chillers providing CHW to AHU cooling coils which have a combined electrical load of over 250kW, which includes the associated pumping loads.\r\n\r\nSirus carried out the following during this energy optimisation project:\r\n
