In 2024, OCS re-secured a seven-year contract, with the option to extend by a further two years, supporting 74 sites and around 490 colleagues across Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>The estate spans a wide geographic and architectural range, from modern justice centres such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotcourts.gov.uk\/courts-and-tribunals\/courts-tribunals-and-office-locations\/find-us\/inverness-justice-centre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inverness Justice Centre<\/a> to historic buildings, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parliament.scot\/visit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Edinburgh\u2019s Parliament House<\/a>, which dates back to 1630. Around 87 percent of the estate is listed, placing clear constraints on physical intervention and increasing reliance on intelligent controls and optimisation.<\/p>\n<p>OCS already operated a Building Energy Management System (BEMS) across the estate, with full remote access and central monitoring by the Energy Team. The purpose of this project was to assess whether deeper data analytics could unlock further performance gains beyond those achieved through established BEMS optimisation.<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section \n        id=\"block_acf-block-698e114bf25f4\" \n        class=\"text-[#475467] prose-h1:font-semibold prose-h1:mb-10 prose-headings:font-medium prose prose-ocs prose-li:pl-0 w-full max-w-none\n        \"\n        style=\"background-color: #FFFFFF;\"\n    >\n        <h3>The Challenge<\/h3>\n<p>While the BEMS platform provided strong control of HVAC systems, SCTS faced several challenges common to large, diverse, and predominantly historic estates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Energy consumption concentrated within a small number of large buildings<\/li>\n<li>Control anomalies that were difficult to detect through manual monitoring alone<\/li>\n<li>Asset performance drift over time, despite established maintenance regimes<\/li>\n<li>Increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions and operating costs without intrusive retrofit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The ten largest buildings account for over 80% of total energy consumption. Improving insight and responsiveness across these assets offered the greatest opportunity for impact.<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"block_acf-block-698e114bf26b4\" class=\"grid gap-10 lg:gap-4 grid-cols-1  lg:grid-cols-2 \">\n                    <div class=\"grid gap-4\">\n                <picture class=\"h-[400px]\">\n                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/ucarecdn.com\/6d0c289a-7ccf-462b-a2b1-963f82ecbbae\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/quality\/smart\/-\/preview\/768x768\/\" media=\"(max-width: 640px)\" type=\"image\/jpg\">\n                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/ucarecdn.com\/6d0c289a-7ccf-462b-a2b1-963f82ecbbae\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/quality\/smart\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" type=\"image\/jpg\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ucarecdn.com\/6d0c289a-7ccf-462b-a2b1-963f82ecbbae\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/quality\/smart\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" class=\"w-full h-full object-cover object-center rounded-3xl\" alt=\"\">\n                <\/picture>\n\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"grid gap-4\">\n                <picture class=\"h-[400px]\">\n                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/ucarecdn.com\/f761e135-0c45-4f9e-a73b-b4aa0c394f6e\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/quality\/smart\/-\/preview\/768x768\/\" media=\"(max-width: 640px)\" type=\"image\/jpg\">\n                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/ucarecdn.com\/f761e135-0c45-4f9e-a73b-b4aa0c394f6e\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/quality\/smart\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" type=\"image\/jpg\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ucarecdn.com\/f761e135-0c45-4f9e-a73b-b4aa0c394f6e\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/quality\/smart\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" class=\"w-full h-full object-cover object-center rounded-3xl\" alt=\"\">\n                <\/picture>\n\n                            <\/div>\n            <\/section>\n\n\n    <section \n        id=\"block_acf-block-698e114bf2707\" \n        class=\"text-[#475467] prose-h1:font-semibold prose-h1:mb-10 prose-headings:font-medium prose prose-ocs prose-li:pl-0 w-full max-w-none\n        \"\n        style=\"background-color: #FFFFFF;\"\n    >\n        <h3>Our Discover Approach<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">OCS implemented an advanced building intelligence system across the ten highest-consuming SCTS buildings, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parliament.scot\/visit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Edinburgh Parliament House<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotcourts.gov.uk\/courts-and-tribunals\/courts-tribunals-and-office-locations\/find-us\/glasgow-sheriff-court-and-justice-of-the-peace-court\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glasgow Sheriff Court<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotcourts.gov.uk\/courts-and-tribunals\/courts-tribunals-and-office-locations\/find-us\/edinburgh-high-court\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Edinburgh High Court<\/a>.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The system integrates directly with the existing BEMS, drawing live operational data from HVAC systems, asset performance and environmental conditions.
