Lower running costs
Find poor schedules, overrides, incorrect setpoints and plant running when the building is empty or lightly occupied.
Building automation & energy optimisation specialist · North West UK
North West BMS engineering that finds wasted energy, fixes comfort problems and keeps buildings running.
I help facilities managers, contractors and estate teams turn confusing BMS data into clear, low-risk actions: safer remote triage, better schedules, sensible setpoints, cleaner alarms, usable graphics and evidence-led energy improvements before committing to major works.
Secure access first: remote access is customer-approved, supervised and agreed through your preferred secure method. Read the access and data handling approach.

What customers get first
Three practical outcomes from a BMS review.
A good BMS review should quickly show where energy is being wasted, where comfort problems are coming from and what the next safe step should be.
Fewer comfort complaints
Review room temperatures, sensors, control loops, heating/cooling conflict and areas where the BMS is not matching how the building is used.
Clear next steps
Receive an overview report showing findings, priorities and estimated costs for agreed follow-on works, without exposing full implementation detail before approval.
Anonymised example
Out-of-hours plant runtime found before major spend.
A building review highlighted plant running outside likely occupied periods, unclear overrides and weak trend evidence. The recommended next step was a controlled schedule, override and trend review before any replacement decision.
Outcome: clearer evidence for facilities teams, lower-risk improvement planning and no unsupported savings promise until real site trends and meter data are checked.

Free Remote BMS Triage or £175 Small Site Survey
Get an independent view of your BMS before committing to major works. Ideal for comfort issues, energy waste, nuisance alarms, poor schedules, overrides and control problems.
Secure access & data handling: remote review is supervised by the customer, uses an agreed access method, and no live BMS changes are made without approval. See the secure access approach.
Free Remote BMS Triage
I can review your live system with you via Teams, TeamViewer, AnyDesk or your preferred secure access method, looking for common faults, poor schedules, incorrect setpoints, nuisance alarms, overrides and energy-wasting control issues.
You’ll receive a clear overview of key findings, recommended improvement areas and estimated costs if you would like the works carried out. Full engineering detail, software changes and implementation steps are provided once follow-on works are agreed.
Small BMS Site Survey
For smaller sites such as schools, offices and commercial buildings with only a few controllers, I offer a fixed-price BMS site survey from £175.
I’ll attend site, review the system, check common control issues, time schedules, setpoints, alarms, overrides and obvious energy-wasting faults.
You’ll receive a clear overview report with key findings, recommended improvement areas and estimated costs for any follow-on works, giving you a practical way to understand where your BMS may be wasting energy or causing comfort issues.

New BMS decision tool
What‑If BMS Scenario Simulator: see the likely outcome before changing live settings.
A visual demo concept for facilities teams: adjust schedules, setpoints, frost limits, occupancy profiles and weather assumptions to compare potential energy impact, comfort risk and recommended next steps.
- Compare day, week, month and year views before making BMS changes.
- Use local weather forecast inputs from approved major API sources when the live version is configured for the customer’s area.
- Show comfort risk alongside estimated saving so decisions do not become “energy only”.
- Keep outputs as guidance until verified against real site trends, meters and plant condition.
Choose the route that matches your building problem
Three clear ways to start with The BEMS Guy.
Different buyers need different first steps. This gives facilities managers, contractors, landlords and energy consultants a quick route to the right page instead of making everyone read the whole site.
Facilities managers & landlords
Hot/cold complaints, wasted plant runtime, unclear graphics, nuisance alarms or energy reports that need practical action.
Book a BMS health checkM&E contractors & BMS companies
Extra engineering support for commissioning, controller migration, graphics, software checks, snagging and handover evidence.
Get commissioning supportEnergy consultants & estate teams
Turn audits, meter data and tenant feedback into controlled BMS test changes, monitoring evidence and action reports.
Turn reports into actionFor landlords, managing agents and facilities teams
Turn energy reports into BMS action, not another document on file.
Many buildings already have meter readings and energy reports. The problem is that the findings do not always become controlled BMS changes. The BEMS Guy helps bridge the gap between the energy consultant, the landlord and the existing BMS maintenance company.
- Full building study using meter data, degree days, occupancy hours, drawings and BMS trends.
- One controlled test area such as an AHU, boiler circuit, floor, zone or tenant area.
- First-week 24/7 monitoring to prove plant runtime, setpoints, calibration and comfort issues.
- Clear change requests that can be discussed with the existing BMS provider before wider rollout.
Quick proof for facilities teams
Start with the issue customers actually feel: comfort, energy waste, alarms or unclear graphics.
Most BMS enquiries are not just “programming jobs”. They are usually a building problem that needs evidence: rooms too hot or cold, plant starting too early, meters above baseline, nuisance alarms hiding useful faults, or operators unable to see what the system is really doing.
Example health-check finding
Time clocks and occupancy are compared so early starts, late plant run-on and weekend operation can be challenged with trend and meter evidence.
Example comfort finding
Setpoints, sensors and graphics are checked together so suspected calibration issues or heating/cooling conflict are not treated as guesswork.
Example reporting output
Findings can be turned into a short action list or monthly report showing risks, quick wins, evidence needed and next controlled steps.

Quick win opportunity
Start with a BMS health check before spending money on big upgrades.
A short, structured review can find obvious waste: plant running outside occupancy, fighting heating and cooling, stale sensors, alarm floods, poor schedules and graphics that hide the real issue.
Example BMS graphic
Clear plant graphics that operators can actually use.
This AHU-style dashboard example shows the sort of front-end graphic I can build or improve: live values, damper positions, coil valves, fan status, schedules, alarms and maintenance controls in one clean view.
- Built around the real plant layout, not generic screenshots.
- Readable on control-room screens, laptops, tablets and phones.
- Designed for fault finding, energy reviews and day-to-day operation.
From single sites to secure multi-building estates

For customers with multiple buildings, occupied areas or tenant spaces, I can help provide one secure central system for BMS visibility, LoRaWAN sensor data, alarms, energy review and monthly reporting — working alongside your IT team so access, updates and security stay aligned with your requirements throughout the contract period.
Regulated & secure environments
Comfortable working in pharmaceutical and security-focused sites where reliability, change control, permissions and clarity matter.
Offices, studios & campuses
Operator-friendly systems for daily use — clear graphics, sensible alarms, and dashboards people actually trust.
One secure system, one view
Multi-building visibility with consistent naming, IT-approved access, reporting standards and scalable expansion across the estate.
How a typical BMS improvement job runs
Simple stages keep the work controlled, useful and easy to hand over to the next engineer.
Review the real system
Look at plant operation, schedules, alarms, trends, graphics, point naming and how the building is actually used.
Fix, tidy and optimise
Make controlled changes to logic, setpoints, graphics, reporting and navigation so operators can trust the front end.
Evidence and handover
Leave clear notes, screenshots, recommendations and next steps so improvements can be checked against comfort, alarms and energy data.
Energy savings depend on site conditions, access, plant condition, occupancy and available meter or trend data. I aim for practical, evidence-led changes rather than unsupported claims.
North West BMS support
Local site visits with remote support across the UK.
I’m based around the North West and can support commercial buildings, plant rooms and BMS projects in areas such as Warrington, Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire, Merseyside and Lancashire. For wider UK work, I can often start remotely with a review of graphics, alarms, trends, strategies and screenshots.
Common BMS questions
Useful answers before booking a review, site visit or remote support session.
Can you work on an existing BMS without replacing everything?
Often, yes. Many buildings benefit from corrected schedules, setpoints, graphics, alarms, trend setup and strategy tidying before major replacement is considered.
Do you cover emergency BMS faults?
For live-site issues, call first. Availability depends on workload and location, but remote triage can often help identify the next action quickly.
Can you help contractors who already have an engineer on site?
Yes. I can act as an extra pair of hands or a remote second pair of eyes for graphics, strategy review, point mapping, commissioning and handover.
Do you guarantee energy savings?
No responsible BMS engineer should guarantee savings without evidence. I look for practical, measurable opportunities and explain what data is needed to prove results.
Does the What‑If Simulator guarantee savings?
No. It is a decision-support and demonstration tool. Any estimated saving or comfort risk should be checked against real meter data, BMS trends, occupancy, weather, plant condition and agreed control changes.
Clear, controlled and honest BMS support.
No made-up savings claims, no bypassing site security, and no confusing handover. The aim is controlled engineering changes that another competent engineer can understand later.
