Building Management System (BMS)
Building Management Systems (or BMS) are computer-based systems that help to manage, control and monitor building technical services (HVAC, Lighting, Utility etc.) and the energy consumption of devices used by the building. They provide the information and the tools that building managers need both to understand the energy usage of their buildings and to control and improve their buildings’ energy performance. A BMS can efficiently control as much as 84% of your building’s energy consumption. Furthermore, it performs its functions completely automatically, day in, day out, year after year. However, unless system settings and parameters are properly monitored and maintained the building performance will begin to suffer. The result will be higher building operating costs and reduced occupant comfort.
