Project Background
61 Oxford Street is a new build in the heart of London’s tourist and retail district, consisting of a large Zara clothing store on the first four floors, topped by two floors of offices with luxury duplex apartments above.
The project consisted of a fully-integrated setup of BEMS (including energy metering), smoke shaft and smoke control systems to the office levels, designed to maintaining clear height for escape routes during a fire, and allow for easier fire fighter access.
The Project
Our Solution
By integrating BEMS, smoke shaft performance and fire/smoke dampers into the same controls network, Group SCS was able to present the building’s end-user with a single point of HMI control. This arrangement allows for not only system control/override, but also live real-time fault monitoring.
In this way, any component of the energy or fire protection system can be manipulated, tested and overridden from a single screen, and the system itself presented significant cost savings in terms of installation and wiring, as well as ongoing energy use.
