Unlike separate control systems with different operating technologies, a BMS offers flexibility, feedback, and centralized control.
Here are the top benefits of BMS:
Tuning maintenance. Unlike buildings using stand-alone controls that may deviate from their optimized settings, BMS can flag excessive energy use and maintain HVAC tuning, for example.
Time savings. With automation, facility managers can save time adjusting settings and monitoring data.
Maintenance cost reduction. A BMS can identify equipment failure early on and alert operators to initiate preventive maintenance, saving costs.
Predictive capabilities. A BMS can anticipate high loads and avoid maximum thresholds for electrical and mechanical services with appropriate adjustments.
Building information modeling (BIM) integration. Refining and simulating a proposed design can be done efficiently with a BMS integration. Integrating a BMS with a BIM tool allows a proposed design to be simulated and refined prior to construction.
