What is BMS?
BMS fundamentals
BMS stands for Building Management Systems
Comprehensive automatic control of one or more major building
system functions required in a facility, such as heating,
ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
Building Space
In many cases a BMS can include lighting, security, fire safety,
industrial processes, and more.
Heating Power
Cooling Power
It is a software + hardware system that
monitors and controls all building systems
from one or multiple locations called BMS
stations.

Why buildings need BMS?
BMS Fundamentals
BMS as core monitoring and managing system for buildings
BMS is the central system that monitors and manages all building
facilities from HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning), lights
control, security to utilities and waste.
Buildings are like live organisms. Multiple systems must work together
to maintain comfortable workspaces.
Without BMS these systems would work asynchronously and would
need to be managed from multiple controlling stations.

What benefits BMS brings?
BMS Fundamentals
Provides a building owner or property manager the ability to:
• View and record HVAC information (temperature, humidity, pressure, and HVAC plant status) in a building
• Act on the information in a proactive manner to control building tenant comfort
• Perform facility management (generate reports, graphs and annunciate alarms when there is a problem)
• Perform energy management scheduling and strategies to reduce operating and energy costs
• Inter-connect building systems (fire alarm, security) in order to integrate building functions

Open Protocols
BMS fundamentals
What are Open and Interoperable systems?
•
Building control systems or BMS’ that communicate to each other using established industry language (protocols)
•
Systems capable of sharing data with other platforms
•
Systems that can act upon data being shared
•
Systems that support open standards and open technologies
•
Systems that provide flexibility for future technologies
Interoperability is defined as the integration of products from multiple vendors without the need for custom hardware or
software. Interoperability is important so that end-users and Systems Integrators can purchase devices “off-the-shelf” from
different manufacturers and achieve plug-and-play building systems.

Benefits of Open Systems
BMS Fundamentals
Enhanced flexibility
Servicing
Repairs and Replacement
The primary advantage gained from the use of
open protocol systems is the flexibility provided.
As you are no longer restricted by manufacturer,
you can tailor each individual component of the
BMS system to the requirements of your business
or budget
With all the technical details of the products open
to view, the installer is not necessarily required to
perform maintenance, repairs or upgrades,
providing more freedom to choose another
If one small component within a system becomes
faulty, open protocol means that it can be
changed without a replacement of the entire
network. Open protocols allow choosing products
with the best capabilities and secure investment
in existing proprietary legacy systems by providing
integration to new open technologies
Lower Installation Cost
Safety
Energy efficiency
10% saving can be made on construction and
finance costs using an integrated, open, eventsdriven BMS solution. Using protocol cabling as a
replacement for hard wire brings down
installation cost and as a result life-cycle
expenditure.
Behind open protocols stand organizations that
keep them as industry standards
BMS systems become more effective because of
extended data sharing. Coordination of control
strategies between building systems reduce
energy consumption

What is HVAC?
HVAC Fundamentals
Introduction to HVAC Systems
H – Heating
The primary function of HVAC systems is to provide healthy and comfortable interior
conditions for occupants; well designed, efficient systems do this with minimal nonrenewable energy and air, and water pollutant emissions
V – Ventilation
The purpose of HVAC design is both high indoor air quality and energy efficiency,
these dual considerations require an integrated design approach
AC – Air Conditioning
Even the best HVAC equipment and systems cannot compensate for faulty design
and controls

Systems of Heating
Systems of Ventilation
Systems of Air Conditioning
•
There are two types of systems by which desired
ventilation can be obtained
All air conditioning systems can be broadly
classified in two categories
•
Natural Ventilation
Result of use of doors, windows, ventilators
and skylights. It is suitable for residential
buildings and small houses
•
DX Systems - Direct Expansion Systems
Refrigerant is utilized to cool the air directly.
Common examples include room air
conditioners, packaged units, and central
direct expansion plants
•
Artificial (Mechanical) ventilation
Mechanical arrangements are made to
increase the rate of airflow. This system is
more useful for large buildings, assemblies,
theatres etc. It involves the use of some
mechanical equipment's offering effective air
circulations
•
Indirect Systems – Chilled Water Systems
Chilled water is produced in the refrigeration
plant housed in the main plant room
The heating plant produces heat and
distribution systems like ducts, fans and
pumps, terminal devices and auxiliary
equipment distributed to the intended places
•
The equipment that produces heat are boilers
and furnaces, heat pumps, heat exchangers,
etc.
•
The key distinction between a furnace and a
boiler is that air is heated in a furnace and
water is heated in a boiler

Energy Usage in Buildings
BEMS Fundamentals
Building Energy Management Systems
• The BMS system does more than maintain the internal environment for occupancy comfort
• Its primary goal is to keep all HVAC plants operating efficiently to ensure systems run optimally every day
• It must also be capable of two-way communication with maintenance personnel
Studies have shown that:
• 40% of total Energy consumption is used by buildings
• Well managed buildings still loose up to 15% of energy they purchase
• Each building could easily cut 25% of energy spent through proper design and installation, testing, commissioning, and
validation of the BMs system prior to building handover

Modbus is an open communication protocol, popular in industrial
environments and royalty-free
– Modbus RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) serial communication via RS 485
– Modbus TCP Modbus variant used for communication over TCP/IP
BACnet is a communication protocol for Building Automation and Control
(BAC) networks.
BACnet was designed to allow communication of building auto- and control
systems for applications such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning
control (HVAC), lighting control, access con-trol, and fire detection systems
and their associated equipment
Modbus
– BACnet MS/TP (Master-Slave/Token-Passing) via RS 485 and twisted pair
