What, Who & Why?
Building Management Systems or BMS help regulate the operation of a building and monitor aspects such as the flow of air and CO2 exchange. Sometimes these are integrated alongside energy, environmental, communications, and security systems too.
Why use BMS?
The benefits of BMS are increased control and efficiency – all aspects of the building can be overseen and managed from a central point.
A properly designed and implemented system will have benefits in energy use – for example, lighting that is motion-sensitive, is increasingly popular in buildings from hospitals to universities.
Collating information about energy use patterns can also enable building managers to identify inefficiencies, and to compare usage across multiple sites to improve overall sustainability.
A comprehensive BMS can bring together building systems and services such as:
- Lighting
- Heating and/or humidity/CO2 control
- CCTV
- Area access control
- IT and telecoms
- Fire and sprinkler systems
- Power systems
With all these elements brought together and increasingly digitised, it is possible to have remote or portable control, through internet connectivity, and to use advanced levels of analysis.
