Building Management System

BMS supervises building plant, alarms and energy information for facilities operations.

Overview

A Building Management System is the supervisory layer for building services such as HVAC plant, metering and selected alarms. It is not interchangeable with KNX room control or a hotel GRMS: a BMS focuses on building-wide plant and operator supervision, while KNX provides distributed automation and GRMS manages hospitality room operations.

Capabilities

  • Plant and equipment monitoring
  • Alarm prioritization and operator acknowledgement
  • Schedules, trends and energy dashboards
  • HVAC and utility-system supervisory control
  • Protocol gateways and point mapping
  • Operator graphics, backup and change documentation

Deployment considerations

Design for the site, not only the specification.

  1. 01

    Confirm plant points, control sequences, alarms and operational authority with mechanical and facilities teams.

  2. 02

    Coordinate controller locations, protocol gateways, network boundaries and point naming before commissioning.

  3. 03

    Verify point-to-point operation, trends, alarm routing and operator graphics; deliver controller backups and an approved point schedule.
