Best Building Management Systems & Software

---

Building management systems are basically computerized systems that control and manage the electronic and mechanical equipment used in a building such as lighting, security systems, power, ventilation and fire alarms.

A building management system is a system that uses sensors and artificial intelligence to monitor and control building services such as ventilation, lighting, power, fire and security. While these functions are often automated and computer-controlled, the addition of sensors and AI makes it possible to intelligently manage a facility with a holistic view, enabling responsive operations.

The hardware and software technologies of the BMS were created in the ’60s. Over the years, the BMS IT infrastructure grew organically and added layers of communication protocols, networks, and controls.

Benefits of Building Management Systems:

1. All the building’s operations are integrated into a single system
2. Reduces operational and electricity costs
3. High security and availability levels
4. Flexible development
5. Easy track and solve

What to Monitor:

• Security systems
• Air Conditioning and Heating
• Server Rooms
• Pumping Systems
• Temperature
• Ventilation
• VRF (Heating/Cooling)
• Metering
• Smart Alarming with Notification
• Subsoil Systems

Best Building Maintenance Software Systems:

Building maintenance platforms generally optimize the maintenance process, making life easier for all involved. But which systems are the best?

Our analysts looked at many Software Systems

1. Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS):

This software type is typically used by maintenance technicians, managers, custodial workers, and other facilities personnel to manage maintenance and repair programs in their organizations.

2. Facility Management (FM) Software:

Facility Management Software offers all the capabilities of a typical CMMS, but builds upon these offerings by incorporating additional applications that benefit an entire organization.

3. Computer-aided Facility Management (CAFM) Software:

CAFM software enables users to plan, execute and monitor activities in their buildings as they relate to maintenance. CAFM software also enables users to optimize space management, room reservations, asset management, facilities services, and other customer-centered services in an organization.

4. Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) Software:

Enterprise refers to the scope of assets across an organization’s departments, locations, buildings and business functions (like Human Resources, Procurements and Inventory). While a CMMS will focus primarily on maintenance, an EAM software system also incorporates the above-mentioned business areas and functions.

Features of Building Management Systems:

• Open architecture with over 400 communication drivers, such as BACnet and Modbus, which allows you to integrate to innumerous systems and devices, including legacy equipment
• All systems are operated and visualized in a single view to support your decisions
• Mobile platform for operating and visualizing information
• Safety: Redundant architecture with hot-standby servers and user control
