The main function of a building management system is to control, monitor and optimize and report condition of building systems.
Building systems include
a. Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning systems (Air handling units, precision units, Split units, DX
units, Chillers etc)
b. Electrical systems (Lighting, power systems, Generators)
c. Fire systems (Fire alarm systems, Suppression system, Sprinkler system, Hydrant system)
d. Security systems
The BMS acts as a link between multiple systems to operate as one integrated system.
Key functions that we can use a BMS for are
1. Real time monitoring of all systems
2. Improved efficiency and control
3. Trend data of performance, usage, energy consumption, temperature
4. Improved & quicker fault finding
5. Remote monitoring & control
6. Alarm notification of faults & auto sms to key numbers
7. Reduced operational costs in the long term
8. Automated reporting
9. Auto scheduling of equipment
10. Scalability
11. Supports predictive maintenance and helps reduce downtime
