BMS Software
- A building management system (BMS), otherwise known as a building automation system (BAS), 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 very basic BMS consists of software, a server with a database and smart sensors connected to an Internet-capable network. Smart sensors around the building gather data and send it to the BMS, where it is stored in a database. If a sensor reports data that falls outside pre-defined conditions, the BMS will trigger an alarm.
- Depending on the system, BMS software can be installed as a standalone application or it can be integrated with other monitoring programs. More advanced BMSes can monitor and manage a wide range of building services across multiple platforms and protocols, providing facility administrators with a single, shared view of the facility's operations.
- BMS systems are “Intelligent” microprocessor based controller networks installed to monitor and control a buildings technical systems and services such as air conditioning, ventilation, lighting and hydraulics.
- Scalable from just one device to thousands of devices
- Link the functionality of individual pieces of building equipment so that they operate as one complete integrated system.
- Provide the building owners and operators with the tools to manage the performance and energy efficiency of their buildings
- Can be integrated into all other building services such as security, access control, CCTV, fire, Lifts and other life and safety systems.
