We ensure FM managers can deliver uninterrupted power across all of their sites.
Facilities management (FM) is responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of a building’s critical infrastructure, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) play a key role in maintaining continuous power to essential systems. Whether managing commercial properties, residential complexes, or public institutions, facilities managers need reliable UPS systems to protect against power outages and electrical disruptions that could lead to downtime, safety concerns, or costly damage.
Why UPS are Crucial in Facilities Management
Power outages can happen unexpectedly, and without proper backup, essential services within a facility could be at risk. UPS systems ensure a seamless transition between grid power and backup power, allowing critical systems to continue operating until either the main power is restored or generators kick in.
UPS systems are especially vital in the following applications:
Lifts and Elevators: A power failure could leave passengers stranded. A UPS system provides the necessary backup power to allow the safe operation of lifts, ensuring passengers can exit safely during an outage.
Emergency Lighting: In the event of a power failure, emergency lighting must remain operational for the safety of occupants. A UPS ensures that exit routes and other key areas are illuminated in case of an emergency.
Access Control Systems: Power disruptions could result in security risks if access control systems go offline. UPS systems ensure that these systems remain operational, maintaining security for the building.
CCTV and Surveillance: Continuous surveillance is crucial for maintaining security in any facility. A UPS ensures that CCTV cameras and recording systems remain active during a power outage, preventing potential security breaches.
Fire Detection and Alarm Systems: During an emergency, power failure should never affect fire safety systems. A UPS guarantees that alarms, detectors, and sprinkler systems remain fully functional in all situations.
UPS in Different Facility Types
Student Accommodation: In student housing, UPS systems ensure essential services like lifts, access control, and security cameras remain operational. With hundreds of students potentially relying on these systems, especially during emergency situations, uninterrupted power is crucial for their safety and security.
Retail Centres: Shopping centres and malls are highly dependent on critical infrastructure, including security systems, lighting, and HVAC controls. A UPS ensures these facilities can continue serving customers and safeguarding property during power disruptions.
Gyms and Fitness Centres: A UPS can keep access control systems, lighting, and HVAC systems functioning during outages, ensuring a safe and secure environment for members and staff.
Corporate Offices and Data Centres: Continuous operation of IT infrastructure is critical for businesses, and a UPS provides protection for servers, computers, and communication systems, reducing the risk of data loss or service downtime.
