Buildings are getting increasingly smart. From access control to fire safety, HVAC, lighting and humidity control, everything can be centrally managed and optimized to best fit the needs of each specific building and employee. The systems which make this possible are called BMS - Building Management Systems. BMS reduces building energy and maintenance costs. It also reduces the environmental footprint and improves the security and safety of the building occupants and property stored in it. Today’s BMS have undergone significant and complex changes. Only a decade ago, BMS controlled HVAC and possibly a physical security system. Today, however, BMS control virtually every aspect of a smart building. Given smart technology delivers significant efficiencies and cost savings, adoption rates are on the rise.
