Integrated Building Management System (IBMS)

Facility operating costs continue to skyrocket, seemingly out of Control. Driven by rising costs from energy usage, environmental compliance, labor and poor-performing building assets, facility managers are seeking immediate relief – as well as solutions that will help them contain costs over the life of the facility.

Facility operating costs continue to skyrocket, seemingly out of Control. Driven by rising costs from energy usage, environmental compliance, labor and poor-performing building assets, facility managers are seeking Integrated building management systems (IBMS) are one important solution. A Building Management System (BMS) is a computer-based control system installed in buildings that controls and monitors the building’s mechanical and electrical equipment such as ventilation, lighting, power systems, fire systems, and security systems. The benefits of teamwork to a business are well established and enabling tight interoperability between facility operational systems (such as HVAC, lighting, life safety, security and energy management) with industry standard open protocols, can deliver substantial savings in operational and energy costs. for example, the sharing of common occupancy and scheduling of lighting, HVAC and security systems would improve the energy efficiency of a building and increase the productivity of the operator because a single scheduling engine is used instead of setting individual schedules in multiple systems. common occupancy scheduling drives proper building systems behavior, making sure that the area is secured, lights are off and HVAC systems are in setback mode for optimum energy savings.
