BMS: Building Management System (BMS)

Building Management Systems provide your office or workspace with an opportunity to monitor, interact and manage the internal systems of the building. Here are a few systems that can be managed by a Building Management System (BMS).

·         Building Automation Systems (BAS) – The centralized remote monitoring and control system includes electricity, plumbing, ventilation, water supply and environmental control systems.  A BAS utilizes a singular, centrally located device for controlling all of the systems to ensure reliable conditions for employees, tenants and machinery.

·         Security Automation System (SAS) – Safety is the most important function of BMS systems. This is classified as a SAS. A Security Automation System works with anti-theft, alarm and access control systems to ensure the safety of employees, equipment and nearby residents. The use of a SAS adds alarms to the existing control features to ensure that the proper management systems are notified of any breach in access.

·         Fire Automation System (FAS) – The Fire Automation System is usually a separate system as it used an independent network to communicate with the fire department during an emergency. In many cases, companies can have two levels of fire automation systems to notify the central control system as well as the proper emergency fire services.
