Market Sectors | Astral Control Services

Education

Astral Control Services simplify the challenge of maintaining cost efficient and energy efficient conditions throughout school, college and university buildings.

By proactively maintaining plant equipment and monitoring energy consumption and utility usage, we’re helping schools, colleges and universities to provide comfortable working environments whilst staying in control of their energy consumption and minimising energy costs.

We help with ‘Monitoring and Targeting’ and produce monthly reports that enable schools, colleges and universities to analyse trends and identify areas for improvement.
We identify and investigate areas of high energy or utility usage.
As a provider to education, our employees undergo regular security checks and DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks in order to be able to work on educational premises.
We provide ‘Green Screens’ a display of key environmental performance indicators delivered to screens located throughout your building or on your Intranet. This up to date information gives pupils, staff and visitors up to the minute information about actual energy usage against targets.

Facilities Management

We work for Facilities Management companies to install and maintain automatic HVAC control systems to the highest standard.

Working on your behalf we maintain BEM systems and plant equipment at end-user sites. Systems are proactively maintained to ensure plant performance is optimised and maximum up-time achieved.

We take a partnership approach to managing your client’s systems on your behalf:

We minimise risks of failure and optimise systems to maximise performance.
We offer competitive rates to make it worthwhile for you to employ us to work on your behalf and provide a very good, reliable service with a responsive breakdown service.
Our proactive management of systems maintains system efficiency and maximises system up-time.
We keep you informed by providing system performance reports on a regular basis. Automatic notifications and our proactive Help Desk Team keep you informed.
We also maintain older systems and ensure systems are kept in good working order.

HM Prison Service

In order to work in Prison premises our employees undergo regular security checks by The Prison Service and Disclosure and Barring Service.

We are employed at six of the North East’s Prisons to undertake facility upgrades and provide proactive maintenance and energy monitoring to maximise performance and minimise energy consumption.

As an independent solution provider our multi-skilled engineers have the ability to maintain and program more than one manufacturer’s systems. If you’re unsure whether we can help just get in touch.

Hotels and Leisure

We help you to minimise energy and utility costs and maximise the efficiency of your building whilst ensuring the comfort of your guests throughout seasonal changes.

Astral install and maintain automatic HVAC Control Systems and BEM Systems for Hotels and Leisure centres. We monitor and maintain plant equipment and provide a responsive support service to ensure systems remain in good working order and system up-time is maximised.

We integrate BEM Systems with Hotel Accommodation Booking Systems to enable the automatic delivery of heating and ventilation services within individual rooms. So, when your guests check-in, their rooms can automatically be tempered to a set point ready for their arrival.

Our solutions are based on an open protocol which means they have the ability to run on different platforms. As there are no restrictions, our automatic HVAC controls can be integrated with additional devices on your IP network such as IP door access control. This means that systems can be designed to be automatically controlled when your guests enter and leave their rooms.
