As we step into 2026, you’ll no doubt be looking for ways to improve efficiency, reduce energy spend and increase your EPC rating by getting more from your estate and property portfolio.
The good news?
You don’t need a huge upgrade to make a major difference to your property portfolio. With the right Building Management System optimisation, even small adjustments can unlock meaningful performance gains.
At Tyrrell Systems, we help building owners, facility managers and estates teams start the year strong with practical, low‑disruption upgrades that deliver long‑term value.
Why a new year is the perfect time to review your BMS
January is a natural reset point. Energy targets refocus, budgets tighten and operational priorities shift. It’s the ideal time to ask:
- Is your BMS running as efficiently as it could?
- Are your systems aligned with your 2026 performance goals?
- Could small optimisation tweaks reduce your energy spend?
You don’t need to replace your system to improve your BMS. Many buildings can make significant gains from targeted enhancements such as:
1. Schedule optimisation
Fine‑tuning when and how your estate operates can reduce unnecessary run‑time and cut energy waste.
2. Data accuracy
Accurate data leads to better decisions, and fewer customer and end-user complaints.
3. Alarm reduction and system clean‑up
A streamlined system helps teams focus on what matters, improving response times and reducing operational noise.
4. Dashboard modernisation
Clearer, faster, more intuitive analytics dashboards make day‑to‑day management smoother and more efficient.
5. Trend logging and reporting enhancements
Better insights mean better control. Improved reporting helps you track performance and make savings.
These upgrades are quick to implement, low‑disruption, and budget‑friendly- ideal for organisations looking to make smart improvements without major capital spend.
Planning bigger changes?
Start with a clear roadmap. For buildings where modernisation is required in 2026, a structured upgrade plan ensures every step delivers value. This might include:
- Migrating legacy systems
- Integrating new IoT devices
- Expanding monitoring and analytics
- Preparing for net‑zero or compliance targets
The benefits of a well‑tuned BMS:
• More stable temperatures
• Lower energy bills
• Fewer alarms
• Improved occupant comfort
• Reduced manual intervention
• Clearer visibility of performance
Whether you’re aiming for quick wins or planning a long‑term upgrade strategy, Tyrrell Systems can help you get more from your building.
