Energy prices remain volatile, and for building owners and managers, the pressure to control costs has never been greater. Yet across the UK, countless buildings are wasting energy, and money, without anyone noticing.
Using proportional control with Tyrrell Analytics to manage your BMS this Christmas.
The hidden cost of inefficiency
From heating and cooling systems running at the wrong times, to lighting left on in unoccupied spaces, inefficiencies add up quickly. What looks like a small oversight can translate into thousands of pounds lost each year. Without clear visibility, these issues remain hidden, draining budgets and impacting sustainability goals.
Data that drives smarter decisions
Tyrrell Analytics provides the insight you need to take control. By harnessing real-time data from your building systems, we highlight exactly where energy is being wasted. Our platform transforms complex information into actionable intelligence.

Eliminate guesswork
Take a look at the data:
The green bars are energy use; the red are people count. Wing C shows no proportional control of HVAC. When the building opens, the HVAC comes on, and when it closes, it goes off. Even at the weekends as the building is occasionally in use Saturday and Sunday.
Energy Readings in green, people count in red.

Wing B (below) shows successful integration of HVAC and people counting sensors. Ventilation is proportional to the number of people in the space. Heating and Cooling are also optimised by additional IAQ sensors.

The savings are significant and outweigh those gained by CO2 sensing alone.

Wing A (below) has been optimised using just the CO2 levels from the IAQ sensors. While there are savings, they are 10 to 15% less than going for people counter optimisation.
The payback for Wing B, with full integration, was six months less than wing A due to the low cost of people counting sensors against the high benefit.
