4 things every building management system should do

Your growing business, whatever sector you operate in, should most definitely consider investing into a building management system. We’ll break down in this blog the 4 things that make them so valuable, but first let’s talk about how they work.

How does a building management system work?

A building management system’s (BMS) aim is to make your life easier as an organisation. Instead of managing many individual components of safety and productivity, a system like this collates all of these into one.

Think of elements such as lighting, heating and ventilation as the components of your system. These are monitored within the building, it is then automatically controlled to provide the required level of heating, cooling and lighting at different times of the day as required.

There are plenty of benefits to implementing a good BMS into your business as it can save you a lot of hassle.

Your BMS will:

Save you money

Separate systems running off of different software and hardware can be quite costly, but a BMS aims to reduce this. Having everything integrated into one can help to reduce your overall spend on vital functions that keep your business in compliance and good working order.

Save you energy

A well planned system also has the ability to reduce your carbon footprint.

Using lighting as an example, your building management system can make it easy to turn off lights not being used by monitoring the inputs from motion sensors. There are plenty of other industry specific cases that we have experience in handling, but these small improvements can make a big difference.

Reduce management time

As well as saving you money in the infrastructure department, a good BMS will also reduce the amount of labour needed to maintain these systems. Having everything talking to one main system can alert you to faults that could have been very time consuming to have identified previously.

Improve sustainability

BMS’ help contribute to far greater goals outside of your organisation such as making business practices friendlier to the planet.

Saving energy also improves your organisation’s sustainability, reducing unnecessary energy consumption among many other things.
