Pro-Teck modernised the heating and hot water control systems at Woking College, bringing eight separate plant rooms together through LOXONE building automation.
The result is a more connected, resilient system that gives the facilities team a clear overview of plant room operation, remote monitoring and faster fault identification.
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
LOCATION: Woking, Surrey, UK
VALUE: X
SCOPE: LOXONE Building Automation, Plant Room Controls, Heating & Hot Water Monitoring, Electrical Control Panel Modernisation
Woking College needed a more effective way to manage heating and hot water systems across eight plant rooms distributed throughout the campus.
Previously, monitoring relied heavily on physical inspections, with limited visibility of equipment performance and potential faults.
Pro-Teck implemented a LOXONE-based control and monitoring solution, bringing the individual plant rooms together into one central interface while allowing each to continue operating independently.
The upgraded system provides the facilities team with better visibility, easier fault investigation and a flexible foundation for future building automation.

This project has also been featured as an official LOXONE reference, highlighting Pro-Teck's approach to commercial plant room automation.
The Challenge
Woking College operates eight plant rooms across its campus, supporting essential heating and hot water systems.
The previous controls provided limited centralised monitoring. Facilities staff often needed to visit plant rooms individually to check equipment, investigate problems and confirm everything was running correctly.
The college required better visibility of its systems without compromising reliability or making individual plant rooms dependent on a continuous network connection.
Our Solution
Pro-Teck designed and implemented a LOXONE-based building automation solution, replacing and upgrading existing controls to create a more accessible monitoring system.
Multiple LOXONE Miniservers were installed, supported by relay, input, output and communication extensions to integrate the plant room equipment.
Each Miniserver operates its assigned systems locally, while a central interface brings the plant rooms together for monitoring and fault investigation.
This means the facilities team can review the status of heating and hot water systems remotely, while essential local control continues even during a network communication failure.
The Outcome
The modernised system delivers:
Centralised monitoring: Eight plant rooms accessible through one interface.
Independent operation: Each plant room retains local control if network communication is lost.
Improved fault visibility: Problems can be investigated remotely before attending the site.
Reduced manual checks: Less reliance on routine physical inspections.
Future flexibility: A scalable platform for further building integration.
The result is a practical upgrade to the college's building infrastructure, making day-to-day management easier while providing a foundation for future automation.
