On Friday 27th January ESI together with Mater Dei Hospital organised an onsite visit for MCAST students following courses in the Institute of Engineering- Building and Construction. The objective of the visit was to expose the students on a large and complex Building Management System [BMS] installed at Mater Dei Hospital. The students attending managed to link the theory taught in the class rooms with the actual installed systems and appreciate a well planned, engineered and installed system on this site.

 

The BMS provided as a solution by ESI, controls and monitors a number of critical engineering systems at MDH. Apart from controlling the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning) and the switching on of mechanical equipment when running on emergency generators , the solution monitors the ‘health’ status of other systems and equipment such as the Power Network Control Centre (PNCC), medical fridges, medical gases, elevators, aircraft warning lights, vehicle emission gases levels in car parks, and other critical operational systems.
