Computer Based Building Energy Control Systems

A Building Management System (BMS) is a computer-based control system installed in buildings that controls and monitors mechanical and electrical plant; this includes heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, power systems, fire systems and security systems.

The core function of a BMS is to manage the environmental conditions within a building as energy efficiently as possible by operating the heating and cooling and systems. As a general comment, the BMS system is often either your best friend or worst enemy; if it works well it performs well, if it works poorly it is likely to waste energy and not deliver the correct environmental conditions. We do :-

• system integrity checks
• functionality improvement
• control strategy improvement
• design changes

Also, BMS was traditionally known as BEMS showing that Energy is a key facet; the addition of sub meters (see Metering Services) can monitor energy consumption in various areas of the building to analyse the energy usage. Efficiency Direct Ltd has a lot of experience and expertise in BMS systems using qualified engineers to ensure that your system is working at its optimum level, controlling environmental plant correctly and providing the optimum energy efficiency.

From the earlier comment, it is our goal to optimise upon the BMS operation to improve energy efficiency and environmental conditions.
