Nottingham University with Building Management System Upgrade


• Energy consumption has dropped by 5%


• While maintenance, safety and comfort costs have all been reduced by 25%


• The project will have effectively paid for itself within 7-10 years

the University of Nottingham. Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Building solution oversees


management, optimising every operation. The system plays a pivotal role in reducing


energy consumption and expenditure, while also enabling departments to drive greater cost savings through a better understanding of energy through a


single platform. As a result, the University is seeing a 5% leader in


reduction to energy consumption and a 3% reduction on overall energy costs in areas where EcoStruxure has been deployed. The inherent usability and transparency of the new system has also driven other operational savings. Maintenance costs have been reduced by 25%, while workplace safety and comfort costs have also dropped by 25%. The greatest benefits, however, are best seen outside of pure operational efficiency. In line with the University’s goal to slash its CO2 footprint, the Schneider Electric EcoStruxure solution


has enabled it to


improve its control of renewable technology by 75% and drastically reduce emissions. Occupant comfort has also been vastly upgraded – overall control of the building is up 70%, while temperature control is at 50%. Overall, with all the improvements made to the system the project will have effectively

of Nottingham at Schneider Electric, added, “We have implemented a transparent but effective system at the University that works across a very complex site with multiple applications and facilities, all of different ages with different architectures. Our EcoStruxure platform aims to give users complete visibility into operations and empowers them to intervene effectively to drive improvements and efficiencies.”


NG Bailey extends its engineering and services capabilities with acquisition of Schneider Electric’s Substation Engineering Service Business


The acquisition provides an excellent opportunity for NG Bailey to extend its range of services in the electricity distribution network sector.


The acquisition will generate a further £10m of annual turnover and will see more than 70 highly skilled employees join the NG Bailey Group from Schneider Electric. The team will become part of NG Bailey’s Services division and operate under the Freedom brand that was acquired in March 2018. The SES division has successfully provided engineering capital


replacement and ‘hard FM’ maintenance services, particularly within utilities, for more than 10 years. It works primarily with electricity

distribution network operators (DNOs) and private network owners across substations and networks. David Hurcomb, NG Bailey’s Chief Executive, said: “Bringing the SES division into the NG Bailey fold provides a natural extension to the range of services we already offer – particularly engineering and maintenance.”


The transaction was led by Jonathan Stockton, NG Bailey Group


Strategy & Performance Director, with deal support from Nigel Hinchliffe (KPMG), legal due diligence from Gareth Saynor (CMS), and tax diligence from Andrew Coticelli (Deloitte).
