Smart Buildings in Industrial/Distribution Sector

Industrial/Distribution Sector

As the UK moves towards a low-carbon economy and the ultimate goal of achieving net zero by 2050, the UK’s industrial sector will need to reduce emissions by 66% over the next 15 years.

Whether you operate a huge warehouse, sprawling manufacturing complex or are on a much smaller scale, the industrial sector will need to play their part. CILS are well placed, with the right experience to help your business achieve this.

CILS have completed many complex industrial projects, for sites owned by Siemens and Morrisons, to name a couple. Each of our industrial sector clients have saved remarkable amounts of energy and related costs, whilst improving their environmental footprint.

Smart industrial buildings

Enabling your buildings to be smarter, adds to your bottom line.

Lower energy costs from lighting

LED lighting greatly lowers costs and, combined with IoT controls and smart sensors, light levels can be adjusted automatically for occupancy and daylight settings.

Save on heating and cooling

Realise significant savings using smart sensors, to automatically reduce heating or cooling demand in unoccupied spaces.

Reduce maintenance costs

Reduce the need of constantly changing lamps with the installation of LED lighting. Using data from smart sensors, coordinate your cleaning schedules around the use of space and occupancy.

Increase staff productivity

Optimise light and temperature to create comfortable, working environments all year round.

Analyse space utilisation in real-time

Identify occupied and unoccupied areas for energy savings, safety and use data-driven information to determine the best use of space.

Solar PV

Given the vast amount of roof space on most manufacturing and warehousing facilities, generate your own electricity to lower the cost of energy and demonstrate your organisation’s commitment to achieving net zero.

Decarbonised heating

Integrate decarbonised heating systems, such as air source heat pumps, to reduce your CO2 emissions and enable your heating operate times more efficiently.

Create valuable data-driven insight

Smart sensors and IoT systems go way beyond reducing energy consumption. Actual energy use measurement, basic heat-mapping, real-time location services, asset tracking – all can improve industrial buildings’ security and provide valuable data for building management analysis.

This is a solid basis for data-driven decision-making, future upgrades and building optimisation.

Strategic Energy Manager

CILS refurbished the lights at Peterborough Register Office from the initial discussion and walk-round to removal and installation.

They produced detailed but easily readable plans, communicated excellently, got on with the job and made no mess. The difference it has made to our working environment is much appreciated.

Inspire Sports Village is a great example of a project where we invested our own money in order to provide a better sustainable position for the organisation, and also to provide the client who owns the building something that was future-proof. Those intelligent sensors could allow us to reduce further our cost base and be more efficient in the longer term.

Our savings are over 80%. It will provide a better lighting platform for the next 10+ years.
We want to save money so that we can reinvest into the organisation and into the community.

Stuart Trower

Director of Operations

So far, the lighting that we now have has saved us 87%. If a colleague headteacher were to come to me and have a discussion about the whole process, I would urge them to plan this into the development of their school.

Headteacher

I would like to thank you all personally for your professional completion of the Honeywell Leicester office transformation. What has been achieved within such a tight budget is outstanding and a credit to your ingenuity and commitment.

The changes have greatly enhanced the productivity of our meetings and it’s a pleasure to be able to see the details on a spreadsheet at the back of a room. Thanks again for all your support.
