Building Management

The Automation and Energy Management Systems are increasingly an integral part of our buildings, leaving it to the specialized companies to implement the most appropriate solutions, aiming to maximize the binomial comfort - energy.

At GEOTERME, through a wide range of available equipment and technology, we implement different "turnkey" solutions, studying with our customers the best system for each facility or building.

The new regulation through the RECS (DL118/13) defines three possible approaches to the Regulation, Control and Technical Management Systems, which are:

At GEOTERME, based on partnerships with the leading companies, we have the necessary solutions for any kind of need or request. Through a wide range of equipment and technologies we have implemented different "turnkey" solutions, developing from the begining with our customers the best system for each installation or building.

The mencioned Portuguese legislation defines three possible approaches for the Automation, Control and Management Systems, which are:

- Total Building Management systems (TBMS)
- Building Automation and Control systems (BACS)
- Simple regulation and control systems

Total Building Management Systems (TBMS)

Sist_GTC_conteudo.pngGEOTERME based on the, experience and know-how of it's team, in the partnerships with the leading manufacturers in the sector and services quality (ISO9001), develops and implements Building Management systems with high added value for its customers, through:

  • Increasing of Energy Efficiency;
  • Centralized operation and integration of all technical facilities (HVAC, Lighting, Elevators, Water supply, etc..);
  • Energy monitoring with baselines and deviation alarms – continuosly measures building performance against optimal standards;
  • Web based operation;
  • Security Systems Integrating;
  • Simple and user friendly operating graphics interface;
  • Support to the facility management providers;
  • Creatimng custom reporting, using own KPI.
  • Compliance with certified systems LEED / BREAM / SCE

A GEOTERME develops and implements Building Management Systems according to the European Standard EN 15232.

The Standard EN 15232: Energy performance of buildings - Impact of building automation, Controls and Building Management, specifies the impact of Automation and Energy Management systems in the energy consumption of buildings. According to this standard, automation control systems in buildings are subdivided into four energy efficiency classes, from A to D.

Building Automation and Control systems (BACS)

For not so big buildings or installations, GEOTERME develops and implements Building Automation and Control systems, which are not centralized solutions and allow to manage the facilities and the use of energy in an effective way, through:

  • Increasing of Energy Efficiency;
  • Optimal operation and integration of all technical facilities (HVAC, Lighting, Elevators, Water supply, etc..);
  • Systems;
  • Energy monitoring with baselines and deviation alarms – continuosly measures building performance against optimal standards;
  • Web based operation;
  • Security Systems Integrating;
  • Simple and user friendly operating graphics interface;
  • Support to the facility management providers;

Stand Alone Control Systems

GEOTERME develops and implements Individual Control Systems, which allow:

  • The command and control of  the HVAC individual equipments without being centralized in a larger system;
  • The optimization of the operation and use of energy;
