BG Controls has announced that it is installing and monitoring the building controls at 42 Vue multiplex cinemas across the country.
Using Delta Controls' open protocol, native BACnet™ technology, the automated controls system is said to deliver optimum comfort levels for cinema visitors. Also, to ensure that maximum energy and cost savings are also achieved, every screen at each cinema is automatically controlled as defined by the changing film schedules.
An Ethernet ready building controller connects each on-site system to multiple sub controllers within the screens and public areas. This allows BG Controls to connect to and remotely monitor the Vue sites from its central service bureau. In addition to this, the system enables remote diagnosis and service by trained BG Controls engineers to each of the 42 sites.
Adjusting building controls in accordance with fluctuating occupancy levels at each cinema is said to be the key to limiting energy consumption. In order to facilitate this, BG Controls receives a weekly 'Occupancy Table' for each cinema, which lists the screen times for the coming week.
This enables bureau technicians to program the building controls for every screen and public area within each cinema. As a result, energy is then used only when necessary and not wasted on unoccupied space.
By factoring weekly screen times so boilers and chillers are only used when required, it has been claimed that energy consumption is reduced by at least 10 per cent.

attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
