Gainsborough Bath Spa Hotel

Originally built in the 1800s, the Gainsborough Bath Spa occupies two Grade II Listed buildings with distinguished Georgian and Victorian façades in the heart of Bath, a World Heritage Site. Named after the artist, Sir Thomas Gainsborough, the hotel is located on Beau Street less than a minute on foot from the Roman Baths for which the city is known worldwide. In fact, it is unique in the UK in that it has the exclusive privilege of having access to these thermal, mineral-rich waters.

The waters flow directly into the plant room and are used by an extensive number of the hotel’s spa facilities, which include the main thermal bath heated at approximately 35°C and two smaller thermal baths heated to around 40°C and 35°C respectively. Importantly, the BMS installed by BG Energy Solutions controls the temperatures of these baths to ensure they remain at a consistent temperature. Also served by the waters are sauna, steam room and ice alcove facilities, along with a thermal water fountain and relaxation terrace.

Delta’s enteliWEB combines the power of enterprise dashboards with easy-to-use facility management tools. Customisable energy management dashboards and powerful energy reports, provide managers with the tools to reduce energy consumption and lower costs, while task-driven alarm management and system dashboards make it easy for operators to quickly visualise and prioritise work, and keep the facility running comfortably and efficiently.

“In lieu of not providing touchscreens on the panels – we provided a touchscreen tablet which can be connected to the hotel’s Wi-Fi and allows access to the BMS from any location,” says Mr Shaw.

“This gives a greater advantage when working in areas other than the BMS panel locations.”
