Whether you’re running a large boiler plant or a mid-sized office building, you need a way to keep track of and control its various systems. Traditionally, facilities managers have turned to building management systems (BMS), also sometimes called building automation systems (BAS), to manage their facilities’ heating and cooling plants, air handling units, lighting control, and other core elements. BMSs are designed to control the main energy-consuming systems in a facility as well as fire and safety equipment.
