Integrated Building Management System (IBMS)
Integrated Building Management System (IBMS) is an advanced and comprehensive system used in commercial, industrial, and large-scale residential buildings to streamline and centralize the management and control of various building systems and services. Unlike a traditional Building Management System (BMS), which typically focuses on individual systems like HVAC, lighting, security, and access control, an IBMS integrates multiple systems into a single, unified platform. The goal is to improve overall building performance, energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and operational efficiency through centralized monitoring and control.
Key Features
- An IBMS provides a central interface for monitoring and controlling various building systems, allowing facility managers to access and manage different aspects of building operations from a single dashboard.
- Facility managers can access and control the IBMS remotely, allowing for quick response to issues or adjustments to building systems from anywhere with an internet connection. Facility managers can respond more efficiently to changing conditions and make adjustments as needed without switching between multiple systems.
- It integrates a wide range of building systems and subsystems, including HVAC, lighting, security, access control, fire safety, energy management, and more, into a centralized system. This integration enables coordinated actions and responses across different systems.
- IBMSs has advanced energy management capabilities, allowing for real-time monitoring of energy consumption and the implementation of energy-saving strategies.
- IBMS system continuously monitors various sensors and detectors, providing alerts and alarms for issues like equipment failures, security breaches, or abnormal environmental conditions.
Protocols integration used in IBMS are Modbus IP, Modbus RTU, BACnet IP BACnet MS/TP, MQTT, HTTP, SNMP, SQL, ASCII, KNX, etc..
