THE Scottish Parliament’s heating and ventilation system is “about to fall over” putting the operation of the building at risk, MSPs have been told.
Just under two decades after Holyrood was opened, the building energy management system (BEMS) has to be urgently replaced as it is “at the end of its operational life”, with increasing incidents of failure.
Holyrood officials have warned it is now a “huge risk” because it “runs the building”, including ensuring the right temperatures are maintained for communications servers for broadcasting, security and IT systems.
