Test And Balance

A building management system (BMS) is a computer-based control system installed in buildings that controls and monitors the building’s mechanical and electrical equipment such as ventilation, lighting, power systems, fire systems, and security systems.

A BMS typically uses sensors to collect data from different parts of the building, then uses this data to determine how best to operate the equipment in order to achieve the desired results. For example, if the BMS senses that a room is getting too hot, it may turn on the air conditioning to cool the room down.

The main purpose of a BMS is to improve comfort, safety, and efficiency while reducing energy usage and operating costs. A well-designed BMS can save significant amounts of money by reducing energy consumption, while also improving occupant comfort levels. The term “test and balance” is used in the context of commissioning a BMS. The commissioning process involves testing all of the components of the system to ensure they are functioning properly and providing accurate data. Once all of the components have been tested and verified, they are balanced so that they work together seamlessly.
