Commercial Energy Efficiency Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited improves commercial energy efficiency through combination fuelled plantrooms, heat recovery, absorption chilling and controls that use recovered heat rather than wasting it.
Commercial Energy Efficiency Belfast reflects BSH Limited's approach to reducing the energy commercial buildings use for heating, cooling and power. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, and efficiency comes from integrating those services so the recovered heat is used rather than wasted.
Efficiency in a commercial building is rarely a single measure. It comes from sizing the plant against the real loads, recovering heat that would otherwise be vented, driving absorption chilling from that recovered heat, and sequencing the controls to run the plant in step with the building's demand — all of which sit within a combination fuelled system.
BSH is committed to energy efficiency and helping reduce carbon emissions across the UK and Ireland through promoting the use of future fuels, including hydrogen. That commitment underpins the efficiency approach rather than being a separate service.
Recovered heat used rather than wasted
The largest efficiency gains come from using heat that would otherwise be wasted. Combined heat and power captures the heat produced during generation for heating, hot water or process loads, and absorption chilling uses recovered heat to drive the cooling load. Yazaki absorption chilling primarily utilises heat as its main power source, so the cooling is served by recovered heat rather than by separate electric chillers.
Sized against the real loads
Plant sized without reference to the building's real loads ends up oversized, undersized or running part-loaded, which wastes energy regardless of how efficient the individual units are. BSH sizes the plant against the actual demand — its operating hours, base load and the use for the recovered heat — so the plant runs usefully loaded rather than for the sake of running.
Controls sequenced with the building's demand
Efficiency depends on the controls running the plant in step with the building's loads, not on the plant simply being efficient in isolation. Within a combination fuelled system the controls sequence the heating, cooling and on-site generation together, so the plant responds to the real demand rather than running against a fixed schedule that no longer matches the building.

How BSH can help
Problem
A commercial building with plant sized without reference to its real loads, heat vented rather than recovered, and cooling met by electric chillers while recovered heat is wasted, uses more energy than it needs to regardless of how efficient the individual units are. Where the heating, cooling and power are procured separately, the efficiency opportunities between them are lost.
Reaction
Inefficient commercial plant raises running cost and carbon, and uncoordinated services can leave a building running plant against the wrong loads. Facilities managers and building owners need an engineering partner who improves efficiency by integrating the services and using the recovered heat, not by swapping individual units.
Solution
BSH improves commercial energy efficiency through combination fuelled plantrooms, heat recovery, absorption chilling and controls that use recovered heat rather than wasting it. Because the right efficiency measures depend on your building, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your commercial energy efficiency project.
