INFINITE Ravne: Primavest's BMS design and equipment

For the renovation of the apartment building at Ob Suhi 19 in Ravne na Koroškem, Primavest prepared the 2023 control-cabinet and boiler-room controls designs. It installed a control cabinet, PLC, signal modules, relays and an M-Bus interface at the building. The original BMS is operational and has been accepted. The separate fourth-floor BMS upgrade is also operational and has been accepted.

PRIMAVEST · BMS DESIGN AND INSTALLATION

Equipment and communications at the building

Primavest prepared the detailed design (PZI) for the BMS control cabinet dated 17 July 2023 and the boiler-room controls design dated 17 November 2023. The designs define the controls, signals and connections for these two scopes.

Primavest installed a powered control cabinet, a PLC controller, digital and analogue signal modules, relays and an M-Bus communication interface for metering data.

  • 01 / POWER SUPPLYControl cabinet

    Incoming power, protection and a power supply for the control components.

  • 02 / CONTROLPLC and signals

    A controller with digital and analogue inputs and outputs.

  • 03 / SWITCHINGRelays

    Relay circuits for connecting control signals.

  • 04 / COMMUNICATIONSM-Bus metering

    A serial interface for connecting metering data.

OB SUHI 19 · TWO TECHNICAL SCOPES

The original BMS and the later upgrade

Two accepted BMS systems are operating at the building: the original building system and the later upgrade for the fourth floor. Primavest designed and installed the original system equipment described below. The new-floor upgrade is a separate project scope.

01 / DETAILED DESIGN · 2023

BMS for the existing building

Primavest's 2023 designs cover the BMS control cabinet and boiler-room controls. For this scope, Primavest installed a powered control cabinet, PLC, signal modules, relays and an M-Bus interface. The original BMS is operational and has been accepted.

  • Control and monitoring of the heating circuits.
  • Connections to the heat pump, district heating and domestic hot-water system as described in the project schedule.
  • Acquisition of control signals and metering data in the BMS.
02 / UPGRADE · FOURTH FLOOR

New residential units

Separate BMS upgrade documents cover the new floor with six apartments. The device inventory and topology describe metering points, room data and communications to the management system. This system is also operational and has been accepted.

  • Cold- and hot-water meters, electricity meters and heat meters for heating and ventilation.
  • Room thermostats and sensors for temperature, relative humidity and CO₂.
  • Ventilation units and M-Bus or Modbus connections.

ROOFTOP EXTENSION · FINAL STATEMENT 2026

Billed thermostats and heat meters

The rooftop-extension contractor's final statement bills the underfloor-heating equipment and heat meters separately. The BMS device list sets out the metering-point allocation and communications.

UPGRADE DESIGN · 2025

From meter to management system

The BMS design for the fourth floor dated 21 February 2025 shows a separate control and communications system for the new level. It links metering points, room sensors, ventilation, shading and photovoltaics through M-Bus, Modbus and Ethernet.

INFINITE · THE WIDER PROJECT

How the building changed

The renovation combines a new building envelope, energy systems and an additional floor. The following features describe the INFINITE project as a whole.

01 · ENVELOPE

Prefabricated façade

Part of the south façade uses prefabricated elements with integrated photovoltaics. The other façades received additional thermal insulation.

02 · ENERGY

Heat and electricity

Heat pumps provide heating and domestic hot water, while the existing district heating remains a backup source. Photovoltaic panels are installed on the roof.

03 · SPACE

An additional floor

The additional floor added six apartments to the building. It includes ventilation, shading and indoor-comfort features.
