BMS (Building Management System) is a computer-based control system installed in buildings that controls and monitors the building’s mechanical and electrical equipment such as ventilation, lighting, power systems, fire systems, and security systems. A BMS consists of both software and hardware components.
Field of application
Building Management Systems are most commonly implemented in large projects with extensive mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, it can be used where controlling one or more of the below list is required:
-lighting control.
-Electric power control.
-Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning(HVAC)
-Security and observation.
-Access control.
-Fire alarm system.
-Lifts, elevators etc…
-Plumbing.
Benefits of BMS.
-Increased level of comfort and time saving
-possibility of individual room control
-Increased staff productivity
-Effective monitoring and targeting of energy consumption.
-Improved plant reliability and life.
-Effective response to HVAC-related complaints.
-Save time and money during the maintenance.
-Ease of information availability problem.
-Computerized maintenance scheduling.
-Early detection of problems.
-Remote Monitoring of the plants (such as AHU’s, Fire pumps, plumbing pumps, Electrical supply, STP, WTP etc.).
