The rapid and straightforward
installation of the Philips ECS
LMM management system
helps reduce the total cost
of ownership by as much as
50 per cent.
According to Cofely Project Manager, Alfie
Meeks: “Installation of the LMM system was
really simple and easy to do, which was ideal
since we had a further challenge of having to
do this in a fully occupied building. This made
it imperative that any works undertaken had
to be well co-coordinated, and incur as little
disruption as possible during programming
and configuration of the system.”

reputation on the global stage providing
corporate law advice, it also has a strong
commitment to environ mental responsibility.
“Over the last four years we have reduced
our greenhouse gas emissions by 4.6 per

manager at Freshfields. “We believe that
the LMM system can help us to continue
these efforts, and are looking forward to
maximising what LMM can offer.”
Indeed, LMM makes major savings possible.
Its rapid and straightforward installation,
ability to save electricity, and automated
monitoring can all reduce the total cost
of ownership by as much as 50 per cent.
“By applying functionalities such as energy
monitoring, we hope to be able to build
on our current achievements,” Ayers says.
“Over the last year we have reduced our
electricity consumption by two million
kilowatt hours across the firm. Adopting
LMM in our London offices will allow us to
contribute to this even further.”
In addition, building occupiers are continually
faced with regular and rapid changes in the
use of space, as well as accommodating the
increasing expectations of users regarding
comfort and performance.
Balancing these considerations against a
backdrop of changing regulations is no easy
task. LMM has taken this all in account since
it can be easily extended from basic to full
