The gap we close
Three numbers behind every UK building.
Buildings consume energy at a scale most boards still under-rate, and most of the waste is controlled by a BMS that was commissioned years ago and never re-tuned. Aurmak BMS-EMS is the platform that closes the gap.

A BMS is a centralised platform that controls and monitors the operational systems inside a building, HVAC, lighting, fire alarms, lifts, access control and security. It runs schedules, holds setpoints, raises alarms, and lets a facilities team manage the building from one screen instead of separate panels. Source, MRI Software.
An EMS is designed specifically to track, analyse and optimise a building's energy use. It logs real-time consumption, benchmarks against targets, flags anomalies, and generates the audit-ready reports needed for SECR and ESOS. Unlike a BMS, an EMS focuses on insight and reporting rather than direct equipment control. Source, MRI Software.
Most UK buildings need both. A BMS controls the equipment that drives energy use; an EMS measures the result and reports it. Running them as one system, Aurmak's model, means setpoint changes feed straight into savings data, and savings data feeds back into smarter setpoints. Buying them separately usually means two integrators and two dashboards.
Independent case data shows BMS optimisation typically saves 10 to 30 per cent of total building energy. One UK office in Croydon recorded a 28 per cent reduction and £171,000 of operational savings in nine months after BMS retuning. Actual savings depend on building age, occupancy, and how well the current system is commissioned. Source, CIBSE Journal.
For a UK commercial building, a BMS upgrade or optimisation project usually pays back in 1.5 to 3 years, with EMS-only software deployments often paying back in under 12 months. Aurmak quotes payback per site in the free audit report so the business case is signed off before installation begins.
Yes. Aurmak's EMS data feeds the energy figures needed for SECR director reports and ESOS Phase 4 (deadline 5 December 2027). For commercial landlords facing MEES, likely EPC C by April 2028 and EPC B by April 2030, the audit identifies the controls work that lifts the rating.
No. Where the existing controllers are sound, Aurmak retains them and adds the sensors, gateways, and software layer needed to bring them into one window. A full replacement is only proposed if the existing kit is end-of-life or the savings case beats the install cost, and that is shown in the written audit.
For a single mid-size commercial site of 50,000 to 150,000 sq ft, a typical Aurmak deployment runs four to eight weeks from contract to live dashboard. Multi-site rollouts are phased, with the highest savings opportunity prioritised first so the project is cash-positive within the rollout window.
