Moreton Bay Regional Council (MBRC)

MBRC recently engaged Systemax to replace the incumbent BMS systems at the Redcliffe Council site for the Administration Building, Cultural Centre and Library. Each building has an individual design and therefore operational parameters.

Energy consumption is monitored and utilised in control algorithms to ensure plant operates to provide the best level of comfort while using a minimum of energy.

The new control strategies and tuning regimes are forecast to produce an annual electrical energy cost savings in excess of $130,000.

A central Web based server residing on the MBRC WAN provides control and monitoring of the three buildings and offers unlimited system expansion to meet the Councils ongoing requirements.

In my 30 years experience in the building services industry and having gone through quite a few major BMCS upgrades and / or replacements in that time, I have never experienced a project of this magnitude go so smoothly – particularly in an occupied building (which we all know is a potential nightmare if not approached correctly and sensitively). It is a credit to you all, and a shining example of what can be achieved when a project is properly planned and resourced by people who have a passion to deliver a first class service.

Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has engaged Systemax on a continual basis for the last 6 years. Their works have incorporated ongoing BMS rectification works, fault finding and ongoing system tuning to maximise optimal energy management control strategies. Systemax has directly contributed to QUT achieving significant energy consumption reductions associated with the day to day operation of air conditioning systems. Their quality of staff, diligence and professional attitude applied to all tasks they are involved with is a credit to Systemax and make them a pleasure to work with.

I have been dealing with Systemax for the last 6 years and cannot recommend their services highly enough. With their state of the art BMS product, combined with extremely efficient installation and programming skills, they always deliver. It's going the extra mile that sets Systemax apart from their competitors.

Phil O'Connor - Facilities Manager - Australian Property Growth Fund
All too often contractors fall short of their commitments. We have engaged Systemax on various projects ranging from simple unit controls, to full 50,000m2 complex BMCS retrofits. Systemax have proven their commitment to delivery time and time again. Their levels of services have rebuilt my faith in the Building Automation industry. The WebCTRL interface is one of the best we have worked with, giving the user real control and useful feedback anywhere, anytime. We would recommend Systemax services and product, and will use them again.

Santos Place is one of a few 6 Star Greenstar commercial buildings in Australia currently performing to a 5 star NABERS Energy rating. As such, overall building performance via the BMS is critical in optimal energy management. Systemax supplied and installed the site BMS and have excelled in their diligence for ongoing plant and equipment tuning to optimise energy performance. Systemax’s approach to quick and professional support via the web based platform provides an assurance that facility management issues are easily dealt with in a timely manner.
