BEMS helps Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust keep Legionella at bay

Download PDF version of article

Due to their large and often complex water supply systems, hospitals are potential breeding grounds for the bacteria that have the potential to cause Legionnaires’ disease

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is leading the way in risk mitigation and compliance through the innovative use of a building energy management system (BEMS) from Trend Control Systems, which monitors, controls and provides information on the status of the water supply, storage and distribution system

Geoff Harris said: “The health and safety of patients, staff and visitors is of paramount importance to the Trust and the data produced by the Trend BEMS, along with the alarm system, makes our infrastructure highly resilient and drastically reduces the risk of waterborne infection. However, the benefits do not stop there; if the Trust didn’t use the BEMS to monitor the DHW systems, manpower and resources would be diverted from other maintenance functions, with obvious consequences. A sustainable system means the Trust is able to work smarter and simultaneously, to achieve complete compliance with HTM 04 and ACoP L8.” 

Trend Control Systems is a major international manufacturer and supplier of building energy management systems, with a worldwide distribution and support network covering over 50 countries.
