Intelligent Building management system
Building management system
BMS systems are “Intelligent” microprocessor-based controller networks installed to monitor and control a buildings technical systems and services such as air conditioning, ventilation, lighting and hydraulics. They link the functionality of individual pieces of building equipment so that they operate as one complete integrated system.
Current BMS systems are based on open communications protocols and are WEB enabled allowing integration of systems from multiple system vendors and access from anywhere in the world. The primary functions of a Building Management System include:
Monitoring:
Collecting data from sensors and devices throughout the building, such as temperature sensors, occupancy sensors, humidity sensors, fire alarms, and security cameras.
Control:
Controlling and adjusting various building systems based on predefined parameters and user inputs. This includes HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, lighting systems, access control systems, and energy management systems.
Automation:
Automating routine tasks and processes to improve efficiency, energy conservation, and occupant comfort. For example, the BMS can automatically adjust HVAC settings based on occupancy levels or time of day.
Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD):
Identifying and diagnosing faults or abnormalities in building systems to facilitate proactive maintenance and troubleshooting.
Energy Management:
Optimizing energy usage and reducing energy consumption by implementing energy-saving strategies, such as scheduling equipment operation, implementing setback temperatures, and monitoring energy usage patterns.
Integration:
Integrating diverse building systems and technologies to enable seamless communication and interoperability between different subsystems. This may include integrating fire alarm systems, security systems, lighting controls, and other building systems into the BMS platform.
Reporting and Analysis:
Generating reports and analytics to provide insights into building performance, energy usage, and system efficiency. This helps building managers make informed decisions and optimize building operations.

Survelliance
A video surveillance system is a network of camera, monitors/display units, and recorders. Cameras can be analog or digital, with various features to explore, such as resolution, frame rate, colour type, and more. Whether applied inside or outside the building, it operates 24/7, designed only for recording movement when necessary.
Surveillance cameras may be in plain sight or hidden from view. The camera’s purpose is to deter improper behaviour, and the video footage can also serve as evidence for later review by security staff or law enforcement. Depending on your needs, many different video surveillance systems are available, such as live monitoring, remote access via an IP system, and Digital Video Recorder (DVR) for recording footage.
Most video surveillance systems are designed to be secure, preventing signal broadcasting to unauthorized entities. Only individuals with the requisite authorization can view the recorded content. Nonetheless, an administrator with the appropriate credentials who oversees the live footage can grant access to others.
Access Control System
Access Control Systems are electronic systems that allow authorized personnel to enter controlled, restricted, or secure spaces by presenting an access credential to a credential reader..
Electronic access control (EAC) uses computers to solve the limitations of mechanical locks and keys. A wide range of credentials can be used to replace mechanical keys. The electronic access control system grants access based on the credential presented. When access is granted, the door is unlocked for a predetermined time and the transaction is recorded. When access is refused, the door remains locked, and the attempted access is recorded. The system will also monitor the door and alarm if the door is forced open or held open too long after being unlocked. When a credential is presented to a reader, the reader sends the credential’s information, usually a number, to a control panel, a highly reliable processor. The control panel compares the credential’s number to an access control list, grants or denies the presented request, and sends a transaction log to
a database. When access is denied based on the access control list, the door remains locked. If there is a match between the credential and the access control list, the control panel operates a relay that in turn unlocks the door. The control panel also ignores a door open signal to prevent an alarm. Often the reader provides feedback, such as a flashing red LED for an denied and a flashing green LED for an access granted
Fire Alarm and Public address system
Automatic fire detection and voice notification is a system that combines fire detection technology with audible voice messages. It uses sensors to detect fires and triggers voice messages to provide clear instructions to occupants during an emergency. This helps in early detection, prompt communication, directional guidance, and customization. Integrated Fire Alarm with Public Address system further simplifies the evacuation operation in delivering evacuation messages / spot announcements that provides a clear view of the problem with necessary action to be taken following fire detection. Voice alarms is the most reliable way to evacuate people from the premises without panic and are recommended for all public / multi storey buildings having over four floors.
FA/PA benefits :
Suitable for public/multi storey buildings with many occupants.
Spot announcements/zone announcements
Provides additional information of an incident following fire detection
Easy and simple to install
Intent for faster evacuations.
Wide range of ancillaries with talk back/sounder/beacon as per requirement.
Integrated system for both fire alarm and public address saves cost on wiring .
Structured network cabling
Structured cabling is the design and installation of a cabling system that will support multiple hardware uses and be suitable for today’s needs and those of the future. With a correctly installed system, current and future requirements can be met, and hardware that is added in the future will be supported Structured cabling design and installation is governed by a set of standards that specify wiring data centre, offices and apartment buildings for data or voice communications using various kinds of cable, most commonly category 5e(Cat 5e),category 6 (Cat 6), and fibre-optic cabling and modular connectors . These standards define how to lay the cabling in various topologies in-order to meet the needs of the customer, typically using a central patch panel (which is normally rack-mounted), from where each modular connection can be used as needed. Each outlet is then patched into a network switch (normally also rack-mounted) for network use or into an IP or PBX (private branch exchange) telephone system patch panel.
Lighting Management system/IoT/Network powered LMS
A lighting control system incorporates communication between various system inputs and outputs related to lighting control with the use of one or more central computing devices. Lighting control systems are widely used on both indoor and outdoor lighting of commercial, industrial, and residential spaces. Lighting control systems are sometimes referred to under the term smart lighting. Lighting control systems serve to provide the right amount of light where and when it is needed.

Smart Metering
A smart meter is an electronic device that records information—such as consumption of various parameters and communicates the information to the consumer and service provider. Such an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) differs from automatic meter reading (AMR) in that it enables two-way communication between the meter and the supplier. These digital devices are gradually replacing traditional meters. Smart meters are essential for building smart grid infrastructure—a modernized electrical grid system that uses digital technology to enhance the reliability, efficiency and sustainability of electricity usage distribution.
