Building management systems (BMS) can:
make sure building features and systems (e.g. air conditioning) operate as designed
provide easier, more efficient building operation if well programmed / maintained
store useful data that can indicate control issues, opportunities and energy system needs.
BMS efficiency depends on how buildings are commissioned and how building use evolves.
Many manufacturers and agents with different interfaces operate in the BMS market.
Independent advice can identify:
savings opportunities
control issues and a means to prevent them
BMS install / upgrade needs.
Example experience:
Project leader for:
many energy audits including BMS reviews
continuous commissioning projects that make savings and improve BMS processes
studies into specific control concerns (e.g. climate change stretching equipment capacity).
