Building management systems

Applies to multi-dwelling developments only.

A Building Management System (BMS) is a system designed to control, monitor and optimise various building services, including lighting, heating, ventilation, cooling, swimming pool pumps and water use in cooling towers.

Optimising these services can result in energy savings. Most systems are computer-controlled and control services by either time (when is the service turned on / off) or other parameters such as temperature or light level.
