What is a Building Management System? What Does Intelligent Microprocessor Control Mean?

• BMS systems are “Intelligent” microprocessor based controller networks  NETWORK

installed to monitor and control a buildings technical systems and services 
such as air conditioning, ventilation, lighting and hydraulics.

• More specifically they link the functionality of individual pieces of building 

equipment so that they operate as one complete integrated system.
NPUTS
• Now installed in every major building or facility with the availability of 
direct integration into all other building services such as security, access 
control, CCTV, fire, Lifts and other life and safety systems. OUTPUTS

• Current generation BMS systems are now based on open communications 

protocols and are WEB enabled allowing integration of systems from 
multiple system vendors and access from any where in the world.

What Does Intelligent Microprocessor Control Mean? BMS Suppliers and Integrators
• Procured as a complete system that includes, engineering, supply, 
NETWORK installation, programming and commissioning.

OUTPUTS • Specialist Integrators that are either directly  associated with the 

manufacturer or are approved re‐sellers.

• All Integrators should have full factory technical support

• Need to work closely with Mechanical Services, Mechanical Electrical and 

other contractors.

• For new construction BMS is usually included within the mechanical 

INPUTS services package.

• ‘Tier 1 Company’ only refers to a direct factory association and not to the 

quality of products or services…

 The Graphic Interface must be 

intuitive to use and not require an 
Engineering degree to interpret

 They must provide sufficient level of 

detail to enable the operator to 
determine what is happening and 
what is going to happen next

 Graphics need to provide access to 

parameters for tuning and seasonal 
information needs to be built into the 
system

The Day to Day Role of the BMS… Building Control Applications

• Control of Building Systems and Services
• Graphic User Interface (GUI) • Building control applications include for following:
• Real Time Monitoring of Building Operation and Performance – Zone temperature monitoring and control
• Trending and Logging of Building Operation and Performance – Zone Variable Air Volume (VAV) control to zones
• Time Scheduling of Building Systems – Zone CO2 monitoring and control (Air Quality)
• Fault Management and Alarming – Air handling unit supply air temperature control
• Control Application Programming – Air handling unit supply air flow / pressure control
• User Event Management – Main Plant Chiller and Boiler sequencing
• Energy Management and Reporting (NABERS) – Toilet, car park, kitchen and general exhaust fan control
– After Hours Building Control

Measuring and Monitoring Building Performance Interaction With Other Building Systems
• Operator Interfaces including Graphical
User Interface (GUI) for monitoring and
adjustments

• Trend data is important when

determining the stability of control
algorithms and when tuning the
system.

• Reports are pivotal when

demonstrating building performance
against sustainability targets such as
NABERS.

• Equipment alarm and fault notification,

reduces down time and consequential

• Real time monitoring of energy performance
• Proactive adjustment not retrospective catch up
• Measurement against load profile targets
• Separation of tenant and base building loads
• Historical trend data for NABERS management
• Energy demand and consumption dashboards

• EMS is a dedicated software packed for the monitoring and management of electrical, 

water, gas and thermal energy metering systems.

Control Loop Tuning

4. Operational Considerations • BMS Tuning and Optimisation are not 
the same thing….
Tuning and optimisation
• BMS Tuning or control loop tuning 
Importance of System Documentation ensures that the equipment operates 
System Maintenance, what, how often and by whom in a stable, predictable and repeatable 
manner.
Life cycle expectations and considerations
• Optimisation focuses on operating the 
equipment in the most energy efficient 
manner without impacting on the 
controlled variable

• The first stage of optimisation includes 

BMS loop tuning.

Kind of Points DDC Action & Reaction
• Analog input - a sensor that monitors physical data, such as
temperature, flow, or pressure.

• Digital input - a sensor that monitors status. Momentary and

maintained switches, ON-OFF
equipment status, and digital pulses from flow and electric power
meters are discrete inputs.
• Analog output - a physical action of a proportional device in the
controlled equipment - e.g., actuator opens air damper from 20%
to 40%, other dampers,
valves, inlet guide vanes, etc.
Ex. 1: Open cooling coil valve (output action). Supply air temperature sensor
SAT detects (input reaction) decrease in temperature.
• Digital output - changes or maintains device status. Performs
momentary or maintained switching for start/stop of pumps, fans,
two-position dampers, and on/off control.
