Siemsatec completed a significant BMS upgrade at The Royal Society of Science in 2023, replacing outdated IQ2 and 963 systems with the advanced IQ4 and IQVision platforms. This project represents a major step forward in building management technology, supporting the society’s dedication to innovation and operational excellence.

Gary Smith, Hard Services Facilities Manager at The Royal Society of Science, emphasizes the importance of Siemsatec’s role in ongoing service and maintenance, highlighting a successful 15-year partnership that has consistently delivered high standards.

In a venue devoted to groundbreaking science, one might jest that with IQ4 and IQVision, Sir Isaac Newton could have discovered the laws of motion even faster—demonstrating how modern BMS technology enhances precision and control.

Challenges & Objectives

Before implementing our strategy, our client faced several financial hurdles, including:

  • Transitioning from obsolete IQ2 and 963 systems to modern BMS platforms without disrupting daily operations.
  • Ensuring system reliability and continuity during the upgrade.
  • Maintaining the long-term performance expectations of a historic, high-profile scientific facility.
  • Aligning BMS functionality with operational goals for efficiency and sustainability.

  • Replaced legacy IQ2 and 963 controllers with IQ4 and IQVision platforms.
  • Planned a phased upgrade to minimise operational disruption while maximising system adoption.
  • Coordinated closely with site management to ensure continuity and reliability during the transition.
  • Leveraged long-standing knowledge of the site to optimise system design and functionality.
  • Successfully upgraded to modern IQ4 and IQVision BMS platforms, enhancing operational efficiency.
  • Maintained continuity of building operations throughout the upgrade.
  • Strengthened the 15-year collaborative partnership between Siemsatec and The Royal Society of Science.

Siemsatec has provided 7 years of exemplary BMS service to the South London and Maudsley (SLaM) Trust, earning the renewal of its maintenance contract. Their customer-focused approach, 24/7 emergency support, and expertise in secure healthcare environments ensure patient safety, regulatory compliance, and reliable system operation.

Siemsatec upgraded the historic Tea Trade Wharf BMS by replacing outdated IQ2 controllers with modern IQ5 units, integrating T1L network capabilities and a bespoke IQVision supervisor. The project improved energy management, plant control, and sustainability, all while minimizing disruption to residents and optimizing costs.

Siemsatec delivered the Building Management System (BMS) for the Willowfield building at King’s College Hospital, the campus’s first fully electrified building. Using Trend BMS alongside air-source heat pumps and a Mitsubishi QTon system for DHWS, the project achieved on-time, on-budget delivery through close collaboration with the M&E contractor, TClarke, and meticulous commissioning.

Siemsatec completed a three-year BMS upgrade across Battersea Cats & Dogs Home’s London, Old Windsor, and Brands Hatch sites, improving animal welfare, energy efficiency, and real-time data management through the Trend IQVision platform. The phased, budget-conscious approach ensured minimal disruption while delivering measurable operational and environmental benefits.
