Background
The Centre for Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence (CEME) is a stunning world-
class research, business support, skills and education campus located in East London
with a focus on supporting the engineering, manufacturing and technology sectors.
The CEME Campus is situated on the A13 in Rainham, close to both Canary Wharf and
the M25. Part of a £400m regeneration programme in East London, CEME was
established in 2003 to provide skills, create jobs and businesses that are revitalising
London’s industrial heartland. CEME is a UK registered charity and part of the London
Thames Gateway Regeneration Scheme working in collaboration with public and private
sector partners.
CEME Vision
CEME's vision is a thriving engineering, manufacturing, science and technology
sector in the London Thames Gateway.
CEME delivers its vision through the promotion and delivery of science,
engineering and manufacturing education, skills development, business growth
and investment support via:
. Schools programmes
. 14 - 19 provision of learning and education
. Employer apprenticeships, skills and training
. Innovation Centre space and business support programmes
. Networking and conference centre
Energy efficiency
CEME identified that whilst the original design of the building was
state of the art when it was built the constant advance of
technology offered the opportunity to deliver substantial savings in
the energy consumed. With world leading experts in the field of
energy efficiency, Crowley Carbon, CEME set out to achieve these
efficiencies.
C3 –
Carbon Control Centre
CEME have invested in a state of the art ACTIVE ENERGY
MANAGEMENT system that allows better control and identification of
energy consumption that is not in line with building occupancy and use. The system also allows the facility to adapt its energy consuming
behaviour with changes in the environment outside and that means we
don’t heat the building on a warm day.
Air Handling Units
All air handling units now operate with CO2
sensors that identify how many people are in each area. CO2 sensors are linked to the newly installed
variable speed drives and that means the
building can now speed up or slow down air
transfer depending on occupancy levels.
Chillers
Chilling optimisation now ensures that
the facility is cooled to the correct level
for its occupants. The environment is
now more comfortable and adaptive for
its users.
Boilers
Operation of the boilers to provide heating
has now been brought under the control of
the building managements system which
allows the heating system to react to
outside temperatures. That means no
more overheating or overcooling of the
building.
