Trend Controls Ltd - Selected to support reduction in energy and
emissions
Marston’s Inns and Taverns has begun a programme of
installing advanced building management systems (BMS)
from Trend Control Systems in its pubs to save energy,
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance patrons’
comfort in its 550 pubs throughout England and Wales.
The first to be equipped with a Trend system is the
Bluebell Inn Tavern Table, a new food pub in Rotherham,
South Yorkshire. The Trend BMS controls the heating,
ventilation and lighting to minimise energy consumption.
This site will also be used to demonstrate energy
savings, compared with a pub without a BMS.
“We set an ambitious target in March 2007 to reduce
energy and emissions across the pub estate by 15% in 18
months,” revealed Bob Jauncey, Energy Manager with
Marston’s Inns and Taverns. “Partly this is down to
raising awareness among all staff, with each pub having
an Environmental Champion. The vital role of the Trend
systems is to monitor and control the energy used in
heating and lighting, both to reduce consumption and
demonstrate savings.”
Each Trend BMS will have its own IP address for access
via the web, so head office and local managers can view
system status and performance, energy trends and
temperature history logs. The displays feature dynamic
plant graphics, with text pages for data such as alarms,
temperatures, set points and plant hours run. The
information is available to all users issued with a user
name and password, from any PC running with internet
access.
The Trend system at the Bluebell Inn was installed by SH
Controls, a specialist in environmental controls based
in Cleobury Mortimer, Worcestershire. SH Controls is an
accredited Trend partner company and will provide
long-term service support.
Marston’s Inns and Taverns manage over 550 pubs
throughout England and Wales.
