ICS (Eastern) delivers thoroughbred solution for Dalham Hall Stud
Published: August 2010
ICS (Eastern), based in Norwich, has completed the installation of a sophisticated BMS at Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket. It is the headquarters for Darley’s global breeding operation, which currently stands at more than 60 thoroughbred stallions around the world. ICS designed, manufactured and installed an integrated system using local-area-network protocol technology. Equipment controlled by the system includes ground-source heat pumps, chillers, boilers, VRF air-conditioning units, smoke extractors, rainwater harvesting, air-handling units, a site-wide monitoring system and a short-messaging-service alarm system. The SMS alarm system is linked to close-control units that keep the server room, which houses many large computers, cool. ICS constantly monitors the temperature in the server room. If any atmospheric changes are recorded, ICS (Eastern)’s monitoring system will alert the continuously manned guardhouse via SMS text, and a call then goes out to the engineer. Alex Crawford, project manager with ICS (Eastern) says, ‘The whole building is installed with modern technology, which is now reflected in the building-controls solution. The system is easily expandable and delivers additional benefits, including reduced energy consumption and cost savings, as a result. Since the installation, ICS (Eastern) now services and maintains all the on-site building services. For more information on this story, click here:August 10, 101 Related articles:
