In this blog post, we delve into the extraordinary impact of AI on building management systems, exploring how it reshapes the future of the industry. With advanced data analytics, machine learning algorithms, and predictive modeling, AI empowers BMS to become highly intelligent, proactive entities.

Building Management Systems (BMS), in their essence, serve as an intelligent network of interconnected devices and wiring that collectively govern the operational efficiency of a building. The term "BMS Maintenance," however, is often shrouded in misconceptions. Many people picture a technician with a toolkit, busily conducting mechanical maintenance on the system. In reality, the concept of BMS maintenance is more nuanced and technology-driven.

Steam systems are a crucial part of many buildings, providing heat, hot water, and even power in some cases. However, these systems can be quite complex and can require a significant amount of energy to operate. This is where building management systems (BMS) come into play.

HVAC controls are an important component of building management systems, as they help to regulate the temperature, humidity, and air quality. The integration of these controls into a BMS can lead to energy efficiency, cost savings, improved comfort, and increased safety. The integration of HVAC controls into a building management system has a number of benefits:

We’ve helped thousands of facility managers in New York City and beyond upgrade their building management system (BMS). There are a handful of common problems that indicate to a facility or building manager that it’s time to upgrade their BMS. Our experience & expertise in building automation systems has revealed these 4 signs that you need to upgrade your BMS.

What Are Building Control Systems? Almost every commercial & residential building including skyscrapers, office buildings, multi-family buildings, warehouses, manufacturing plants, etc. uses some form of technology to manage their building’s energy efficiency, security, & more. More advanced technology enables building managers to control all of their building’s systems from one remotely accessible control panel. This […]

There are more than one million buildings in New York City, 299 of them being skyscrapers. We estimate that 70-80% of these commercial & residential buildings are due for a building management system upgrade, or will be soon.

Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems are the core of comfort and energy performance in buildings & industrial facilities. Historically, controlling HVAC systems was an intensive & time-consuming manual process. There was typically a decision to be made between energy efficiency or comfort.
