Building Management System (BMS)
A building with disconnected HVAC, lighting, and electrical systems wastes energy and increases operating costs. ECONOVO delivers smart Building Management System (BMS) solutions that centralize control, improve efficiency, and provide real time visibility across your entire facility. Our engineers design and integrate automation systems that reduce energy consumption, improve comfort, and simplify building operations.
What Is a Building Management System (BMS)?
A BMS is a centralized platform that monitors and controls key building systems such as HVAC, lighting, electrical distribution, fire safety, and security. It collects real-time data from sensors across the facility and uses automated logic to optimize performance, reduce downtime, and support data-driven decisions.
Core Functions of BMS
- HVAC control: temperature, humidity, airflow, and indoor air quality
- Lighting automation and scheduling
- Energy monitoring and optimization
- Security access control and surveillance integration
- Fire alarm and safety system supervision
- Electrical system monitoring and load management
- Water system control for pumps and mechanical equipment
- Equipment health monitoring and maintenance alerts
Benefits of a Professional BMS
- Reduced Energy Costs
Optimized HVAC and lighting schedules cut unnecessary energy usage. Most buildings see measurable reductions once automation is implemented. - Lower Maintenance Costs
Predictive analytics identify faults early, helping you avoid major failures and unplanned downtime. - Improved Comfort and IAQ
Automated control maintains consistent temperature, humidity, and ventilation across all zones. - Centralized Control & Remote Access
Monitor and adjust building performance from computers, tablets, or mobile devices. - Longer Equipment Life
Controlled operation reduces wear on HVAC and electrical systems. - Better Compliance & Sustainability
Smart monitoring helps organizations meet energy efficiency and carbon reduction requirements.

FAQ Section
Q. What is a BMS and why do I need it?
A BMS automates HVAC, lighting, electrical, fire safety, and security systems. It reduces energy waste, improves comfort, tracks system performance, and ensures consistent operational control.
Q:Can a BMS reduce energy costs?
Yes. A well configured BMS reduces consumption by optimizing HVAC schedules, preventing overcooling, and identifying high usage areas.
Q:Will the BMS work with my existing HVAC or electrical systems?
In most cases, yes. As long as your equipment supports open protocols or has integration points, it can be connected.
Q:Do I need a new BMS panel or can you upgrade my old one?
This depends on hardware age and compatibility. During assessment, we determine whether upgrading or replacing is more cost effective.
Q: How fast can you detect faults in the system?
A BMS provides real time monitoring. Any deviation in AHUs, pumps, chillers, or sensors triggers immediate alerts.
Q:What happens if the internet goes down?
Building operations continue normally. Only remote dashboards are affected.
Q: Is the BMS secure from hacking?
Yes. Modern systems use encryption, access control, VLAN segmentation, and secure communication standards.
Q: How much maintenance does a BMS require?
Mostly software checks, log reviews, and occasional sensor calibration.
Q:Is training included with your service?
Yes. We provide full training on system operation, alarms, and scheduling.
Q: Do you offer BMS for small buildings or villas?
Yes. We offer simplified automation platforms suitable for smaller facilities.
What brands or platforms do you work with?
Honeywell, Siemens, Johnson Controls, Schneider Electric, Tridium/Niagara, and other open protocol systems.
Q: Can a BMS improve indoor air quality?
Yes. It manages ventilation, humidity, and CO₂ levels to maintain healthy IAQ.
Q:How do I know if my building needs a BMS upgrade?
Signs include:
- High energy bills
- Frequent HVAC complaints
- Manual adjustments
- Old controllers
- No remote access
- Difficulty tracing faults
