Building Management Systems(BMS) is a computer-based control system installed in buildings that controls and monitors the building’s mechanical and electrical equipment such as ventilation, lighting, power systems, fire systems, and security systems. It is most common in a large building. Its core function is to manage the environment within the building and may control temperature, […]
Intelligent Building ControlsThe essence of Intelligent Buildings is in the control technologies, which allow integration, automation, and optimization of all the services and equipment that provide services and manages the environment of the building concerned. The field of Intelligent Buildings and Intelligent Homes encompasses an enormous variety of technologies, across commercial, industrial, institutional and domestic […]
