Importance of System Documentation
Functional Description (FD)
Overview of the building services Describes in
detail each of the BMS control strategies
and sequences of operation.
Documents interaction between each part of
the system.
Point Schedules
Detail all connected devices and their point type.
Critical for planning and system engineering.
Control System Drawings
Should include a network architecture drawing.
Detail the physical wiring connections to
controllers.
Useful for fault finding and establishing spare
capacity.
System Maintenance
The BMS belongs to the building owner who should act as its
administrator managing BMS access rights.
The BMS should be maintained with an appropriate level of
servicing.
As with any software driven system, data and files should be
backed up on a regular basis.
Critical components should be identified and checked at regular
intervals.
BMS functions such as trend data, reports and alarms can be
used to perform maintenance by exception.
Maintenance should be approached as the performance of the
controlled system not individual components, i.e. AHU or Chiller
Plant.
While the BMS equipment vendor should be utilized to
maintain the critical components, other suitably qualified
technicians can be utilized for field equipment.
BMS The Basics Explained – Recap
BMS systems are “Intelligent” microprocessor based
controller networks installed to monitor and control a
buildings technical systems and services such as air
conditioning, ventilation, lighting and hydraulics.
Scalable from just one device to thousands of devices.
Link the functionality of individual pieces of building
equipment so that they operate as one complete integrated
system.
Provide the building owners and operators with the tools
to manage the performance and energy efficiency of their
buildings.
Can be integrated into all other building services such as
security, access control, CCTV, fire, Lifts and other life and
safety systems.
Summary
Building Automation Systems help keep buildings
operating at higher efficiency.
Also provide for security and comfort.
EMS/BMS ensure that energy is not being used at the
wrong time / or when not needed.
EMS/BMS can be integrated with DEMS to provide
Automated Demand Response (ADR).
