Building & Energy Management Systems
Smarter buildings. Better control.
Antler designs, installs and maintains Building Management Systems (BMS) and Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) for small businesses, commercial properties and industrial sites across the UK. We connect building services and use energy monitoring to identify wasted energy, improve control and comfort, and help reduce energy-related carbon emissions.
01 / Connected systems
We bring building systems together into a single intelligent control platform, giving operators the visibility and information to make better decisions.
The system controller
The system controller connects your equipment, coordinates operation and records performance. Heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting can respond to occupancy, time and temperature rather than working in isolation.
Interfaces can also bring fire-alarm information into the central view.
We work predominantly with Tridium's Niagara 4 framework, connecting a wide range of existing control protocols. We also use and integrate other equipment, including Dalismart, Sedona, EasyIO, Siemens and ABB.
One platform brings together supervision, data logging, alarms, schedules and network management, with remote access to your facility systems.
Manufacturers & systems
Independent advice, shaped around your building.
We work across a wide range of manufacturers and platforms.
Part of the industry's professional community.
A longstanding controls partnership.
As an independent company, we are not tied to one brand. Our partnerships sit alongside impartial advice: we select and integrate equipment to suit the needs of your building.

02 / Our services
From the first specification to ongoing support.
Practical expertise throughout the system lifecycle.
From consultation and specification to drawings, panel manufacture and testing. We install the panels, sensors and interfaces, then commission a bespoke system around your building and plant.
Explore BMS design & installation →Modernise existing systems and connect usable infrastructure. Retain what works, improve what can work better, and replace equipment where it adds value.
Explore integration & upgrades →Scheduled periodic maintenance tailored to your needs, with diagnostics, fault finding and ongoing support. Operating data and early alerts help teams plan proactive maintenance and respond to repairs.
Explore BMS & BEMS maintenance →Energy management for UK businesses, with metering, remote BMS monitoring and historical trends to identify avoidable energy use and support carbon-footprint reduction. Monitoring and reporting are agreed around your site and team.
Explore energy management & monitoring →How we work
Six stages. A solution specified for your needs.
Consult with you to agree the control, monitoring and reporting your building needs.
Turn the specification into system drawings and bills of materials for production and installation.
Procure equipment, build the control panels and test them before they arrive on site.
Coordinate the required trades, install panels, sensors and interfaces, and commission the system into service.
Connect to our bureau service by agreement, with reporting for your managers or external service providers.
Provide scheduled maintenance in a package suited to your system and operating needs.
Bureau service
Metering and historical trends show how energy inputs and environmental conditions change over time. Alarms and failure reports help your teams manage planned maintenance and reactive repairs.
We agree the reporting scope and recipients with you, including service managers and external maintenance providers.
03 / Building intelligence
Energy saved. Costs understood.
Historic operating results, rebuilt into clear dashboard views.
Two views of one anonymised installation. Recorded historical figures, not a live feed.
3 air-handling units · 981 monitoring days
79.2% less energy than the predicted use without control
Using the source dashboard's historical factor of 0.233 kg CO₂e/kWh.
Savings use a predicted no-control baseline and the historical tariff of £0.278/kWh. The annualised figure is a source estimate, not a completed year's saving.
The three units behind the overall result
Figures and rounded fan-hour percentages are transcribed from the same historical record. These unit savings form the overall total; they are not additional savings.
04 / UK-wide capability
Consistent control and visibility, wherever your buildings are.
We manage hundreds of sites across the UK, including stores for national retail brands. The same practical approach supports independent businesses: connect local systems and give facilities teams a clear view of how their buildings perform.

Energy monitoring05 / Our engineering philosophy
A modern controls system does not always require replacing existing plant.
We assess what can be retained, integrated and improved, so investment is focused where it produces a practical benefit.
Our story
Antler was founded by a team with backgrounds in HVAC, air conditioning, electrical systems and building maintenance cost management.
We saw the cost of building systems operating in isolation. Bringing them together became our focus: use existing resources intelligently, improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
Today, that work spans national retail estates and businesses of different sizes. We bring our experience together as a team to develop solutions around each client's needs.
Our mission
Help provide safe, comfortable environments for the people who use them. Improve building energy performance and help reduce energy-related carbon emissions, supporting clients’ wider sustainability goals.
Bespoke solutions and personal service for businesses large and small.
Understand the operating costs and environmental pressures our clients face.
Help clients reduce their carbon footprint through better building performance.
Keep the needs of occupants, staff and management at the centre of the design.
Apply advances in controls where they improve efficiency and reduce costs.
06 / Industries
Controls shaped around the way your
space, equipment and people work.
Let's talk building controls
Talk to Antler about a new BEMS installation,
an existing controls system or a nationwide estate.
I am very pleased that you have found our website. Antler Management Systems is all about providing smart, centralised management of your building systems.
The four key objectives we have as a company are:
We strive to reduce your business costs with energy-efficient savings and lower the CO2 emissions/ impact on the environment. At the heart of what we do is the safety and comfort of all stakeholders including clients and employees.
We are completely committed to providing our clients with outstanding service and providing the best and most cost-effective solutions to help make your buildings run as efficiently as possible. 24-hour automated monitoring starts when the system is commissioned and allows full trend analysis. This also helps the client to realise the optimum performance achievable from your different systems.
Get in touch today to find out how BEMS can reduce your energy costs and carbon footprint!
