In hydronic HVAC systems, control valve selection directly influences stability, delta T performance, and overall system efficiency and CONTROLLI offers a comprehensive range.

Their portfolio includes:
• Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICVs) — delivering stable flow under varying system pressures, ideal for high efficiency chilled and heating water systems.
• Globe valves — engineered for fine modulation and high close off performance in AHUs, coils, and heat exchangers.
• Ball valves — robust, low leakage solutions for on/off and modulating control in both HVAC and industrial environments.
• Zone valves — compact, reliable options for room and zone level hydronic control.
• Industrial process valves — designed for demanding conditions where durability, temperature tolerance, and repeatability are critical.

What is really the difference between buildings with a Building Management System (BMS) and those without? Realistically, the operational gap is wider than most people realise.

A Tridium Niagara-enabled building provides a normalised data layer, meaning every device; BACnet, Modbus, KNX, LON, MQTT, can be integrated into a unified supervisory environment. Operations staff gain access to real-time telemetry, historical trend logs, hierarchical alarm management, and programmable logic that can be deployed consistently across the estate. This creates a building that is predictable, diagnosable, and optimisable.

By contrast, a building with no BMS is effectively a collection of isolated subsystems. Plant runs on local controllers, often with no central visibility. Faults surface only when comfort drops or equipment fails. Energy performance becomes guesswork because there is no trend data, no analytics layer, and no way to correlate cause and effect.

Maintenance becomes reactive, engineering time is spent on manual investigation, and optimisation is nearly impossible without instrumentation.

The difference is not just software; it’s the ability to operate a building as a coherent system rather than a set of disconnected assets.

Greystone Energy Systems Inc. ’ HTX2 and HTX3 high accuracy humidity and temperature transmitters are built for environments where tight environmental control and long term measurement stability are non negotiable. Both platforms utilise a thermoset polymer RH sensing element, ensuring consistent and dependable humidity performance over time.

From a specification standpoint, the series delivers ±1% RH accuracy and temperature precision between ±0.1°C and ±0.15°C, depending on the model—making them well suited for critical applications where measurement integrity directly impacts system performance.

Optimising heating and cooling through Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) is one of the most cost effective ways to reduce energy use. Enhancing heating and cooling controls alone can deliver 15–38% energy savings, typically paying back within 1–3 years. It’s the smartest first step before investing in any other efficiency measures.

The AM300(L) Series from Milesight IoT is a high precision, LoRaWAN enabled indoor environmental monitoring platform engineered for multi parameter sensing and low power, long range data transmission.

The device integrates a comprehensive suite of sensors to capture temperature, relative humidity, illuminance, CO₂ concentration, formaldehyde/ozone (HCHO/O₃), total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), barometric pressure, PM2.5, PM10, and PIR based motion detection.
Environmental metrics are rendered locally on an ultra low power E ink display, providing immediate visibility while maintaining extended operational life. Data can be transmitted via LoRaWAN for centralised analytics, trend modelling, and automated control strategies within building management systems.

The AM300 Series is ideal commercial buildings, educational facilities, retail environments, and healthcare settings, supporting applications such as IAQ compliance, HVAC optimisation, occupancy driven control, and long term environmental performance monitoring.
