A building management system (BMS) is a computer-based control system that is used to monitor and manage a building's mechanical and electrical equipment. The primary function of a BMS is to control and optimize the building's performance, energy use, and maintenance costs. It can manage and control HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), lighting, security, fire safety, and other systems. Additionally, a BMS can provide real-time information about a building's energy usage, temperature, and other data that can help facilities managers optimize their operations and reduce energy consumption. It can also remotely monitor, diagnose and troubleshoot equipment malfunctions, ensuring that they are resolved quickly and efficiently and reducing downtime. Overall, a BMS helps to improve building efficiency, reduce energy costs and deliver a comfortable and safe environment for occupants.
