What, Who & Why?<\/h2>\n

Building Management Systems<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Why use BMS?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The benefits of BMS are increased control and efficiency \u2013 all aspects of the building can be overseen and managed from a central point.<\/p>\n

A properly designed and implemented system will have benefits in energy use \u2013 for example, lighting that is motion-sensitive, is increasingly popular in buildings from hospitals to universities.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

A comprehensive BMS can bring together building systems and services such as:<\/p>\n
