COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Building Management System (BMS) - Principles & Practices. It covers the components and architecture of BMS and its role in energy efficiency and sustainability; the sensors, controllers and processors, actuators and user interface for monitoring and control; the BMS communication protocols and functions and automated processes; the basics of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), smart lighting technologies and fire detection and alarm integration; managing building access, CCTV monitoring and integration, intrusion detection and alarm systems; monitoring power consumption in real-time; and the load management and peak shaving techniques. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the water consumption and leak detection, control pumps and irrigation systems, rainwater harvesting integration and optimizing water usage for sustainability; the BMS installation, system architecture design and setting up sensors, controllers, and actuators; the communication network setup and testing; the HVAC, lighting, and security systems and ensuring compatibility across communication protocols; creating automation sequences for building operations, configuring alarms and notifications and developing schedules for lighting and HVAC systems; and testing and troubleshooting automation scripts. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the monitoring and analysis of data and preventive maintenance; the system troubleshooting and system optimization; the potential security threats and network security measures; conducting regulatory compliance and audits; the role of IoT in enhancing including artificial intelligence in BMS; incorporating solar panels and wind turbines; managing battery storage and energy distribution and net metering and grid integration; setting benchmarks for energy and operational efficiency; and comparing performance across buildings and identifying areas for improvement.
