From BMS to IBMS
The Building Management System (BMS) can be defined as the system installed in buildings that controls and monitors the building’s mechanical and electrical equipment, such as heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting. These systems typically represent 70% of a building's energy usage. The role of BMS is crucial in management of the building’s energy demand.
Building Automation and ICT are critical operations to achieving the right balance between all of the building's technical functionalities and for a high level of comfort for the building's users, and naturally with the lowest possible energy and maintenance costs.
However, most of the time the capabilities of a BMS are not fully utilized, and proper systems are not engineered correctly, therefore this is why you need an experienced installer with a proven track record.
Given the latest technological advances in the field of IoT and ML, we can now make buildings smarter through an Integrated Building Management System.
Beyond controlling the internal environment of the building, the IBMS (“Integrated Building Management System”) covers also access control, intruder alarms, video surveillance, monitoring of the fire alarm system and other systems as applicable.
IBMS can be referred to as the single, uniform system for building management.
Application of full IBMS brings the benefits of better indoor comfort, energy efficiency, safety and security, and most importantly, better management of all the systems under the unified system.
IBMS supports efficient functional system integration and provides maximum flexibility to support any future changes in the building use.
