Both residential and commercial buildings rely on numerous energy-consuming devices — from heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) to power systems and security devices. A Building Management System (BMS) is a computer-based technology that integrates all your controls of these devices so you can seamlessly monitor and manage the environment inside your building. BMS controls can be leveraged to lower your energy cost and more.

Here’s how installing a BMS for your building can benefit you.

It cuts down energy costs. Automation is one of the biggest advantages of having a BMS unique to your building. And by scheduling how your HVAC system works for specific times/days or when your lighting system should shut down, you can reduce your overall consumption — all while ensuring your inhabitants’ comfort and convenience.

It streamlines your internal systems. With a BMS control, you get to monitor all your vital internal systems in one place — from HVAC to lighting to security sensors and even water, gas and power meters. This makes it more efficient for you to detect and correct problems that you might otherwise overlook if you have separate controls for each system.

It gives you a clear picture of your energy consumption. You can better track your energy consumption by having all your internal systems integrated into one management software. Based on simplified reports, you can accordingly adjust how you use your energy-consuming devices. BMS also has the capacity to predict future trends and automatically adapt energy usage based on those.

It reduces downtime. This benefit is particularly helpful in commercial settings. When installing a BMS, you’ll have a reliable tool that can send alarms if a serious issue needs to be immediately addressed. For instance, your HVAC might be running into mechanical problems. If you get notified early on, you can fix it before you even experience downtime — which can disrupt your daily operations.

It helps protect the lifespan of your installations. Reducing downtime isn’t just about ensuring continuity in your operations. It also helps protect your devices and equipment from premature wear and tear. Addressing issues before they get worse is a must if you want to maximise your installations’ lifespan.

It enhances the security of your premises. A BMS isn’t just about managing energy consumption better. As it gives your a single monitoring tool for your premises, you can efficiently oversee your building’s entry and exit points. Your BMS can also send alerts if there are break-ins or a fire accident, thereby improving the safety of your inhabitants and your assets as well.
