Colmore Row AHU Upgrade
Client Brief
We were commissioned to upgrade the air handling units (AHUs) serving a large office block, with the primary goal of improving energy efficiency and reducing long-term running costs.
A key part of the project was integrating the upgraded equipment with the building’s existing BMS to allow for seamless monitoring and control.
Client
Colmore Row Offices
Project Type
AHU Upgrade
Location
Birmingham, UK
Scope Of Work
Our scope of works included:
- Upgraded AHU fans to modern, high-efficiency models to reduce power consumption
- Designed and built a custom control panel to ensure the fans operate in full coordination with the current BMS
- Optimised operational sequences for improved control and energy savings
- Conducted detailed performance testing and verification after installation
This structured approach ensured that both the mechanical and control elements of the system worked together efficiently from day one.
Our Approach
To meet the project goals, we carried out a detailed site assessment to determine the most cost-effective upgrade path.
This included reviewing current fan performance, existing control strategies, and integration options with the building’s BMS.
Outcome
The project achieved significant energy savings, with early data confirming reduced power consumption and validating the ROI projections.
The client is on track for a payback period within their target, while also benefiting from:
- Improved reliability through new components
- Enhanced control capability via BMS integration
- Lower carbon emissions and running costs
- Extended AHU lifespan
The result is a future-ready system delivering efficiency, reliability, and long-term value.
