BMS (Building Management Systems)
BMS (Building Management Systems) is a control system installed in buildings to supervise and control all the electromechanical systems of the building.
– Cooling
– Heating
– Ventilation
– Lighting
– Energy Systems
The BMS consists of Software and Hardware and uses open protocols such as BACnet, Lon, Modbus.
BMS is usually used in large buildings. Its main function is to manage the ambient temperature, CO2 level and humidity of a building. Most BMS systems control the heating and cooling output, manage the systems that distribute air throughout the building and locally control the mix of hot and cold air to achieve the right temperature for each room. They also control the level of human CO2 production by mixing outside clean air with the inside of the building and raising the O2 level without serious heating/cooling losses.
Buildings with a Building Management System usually show 40% energy savings, and if lighting is included, the savings can reach 70%.
