Understanding of needs
The starting point came with a proof of concept within the head office of MSP Ltd, the managing company of the Science Park, based at Kilburn House, one of the buildings that make up the campus.
Through an initial audit, both of physical audit of the building and an audit of the available records provided the basis for the creation of a concise document to enable the management of the facility in terms of maintenance and energy.
High level approach
Impressed by the proof of concept the company instructed i-Prophets to produce building log books for the other 8 buildings on the campus. Learning from the population of Kiburn House MSP also engaged the buy in from its mechanical and electrical subcontractors to ensure they were also aware of the new philosophy.
