Annual Saving
AED 620K/yr
Finding: Existing Johnson Controls Metasys BMS (2004, age 21 years) is end-of-life, unsupported, and running HVAC on fixed schedules regardless of occupancy — contributing to 23% energy overconsumption vs peer buildings. Reactive maintenance calls up 34% over 3 years.

Finding: Existing turnstiles (2015 vintage, 10 years) — 3 unplanned failures in past 12 months. Card-only access with no biometric capability. UAE Government mandates biometric-capable entry at Tier 2 HQ buildings by December 2026. Proposed: Boon Edam / Gunnebo optical lanes with Emirates ID readers, face recognition, and full BMS + LPR integration.

Energy & sustainability
Energy Consumption & Benchmarking
11.4M kWh annual electricity — 23% above benchmark for comparable government administrative buildings. Primary driver: outdated BMS running HVAC at constant load.

⚠️
Critical finding: BMS is running HVAC at near-constant load regardless of occupancy levels. Analysis of ADDC interval data shows weekend and evening energy consumption at 78% of peak weekday load — indicating near-zero demand-response capability. Estimated waste: 3.1M kWh/year (AED 510K). This is the primary driver for the Siemens BMS upgrade (Project 1).
