Explore our guide for upgrading existing Building Management Systems (BMS), which are the heart of any building, no matter the size or age.
Our Building Management products, software and services
Expectations of buildings today have changed. They must become more sustainable, hyper-efficient, resilient, and people-centric. If your building management system (BMS) is not future-ready, you’re missing out on advances in technology and IoT-enabled devices that make it possible to meet sustainability targets, lower operating costs, enhance occupant experience, improve productivity, and increase building value.
Building management by the numbers
42%
of the world's energy is used in buildings.
30%
of energy used in buildings is waste.
50%
of energy used in buildings is wasted due to inefficient building management systems.
~40%
of building management systems are affected by malicious attacks.
Migrating from old to new building management systems
From cyberattacks that disrupt your building's daily operations to greater possibilities of downtime, increasing maintenance costs, and missing sustainability targets, an obsolete BMS can cost you time and money and can limit overall functionality.
New generation building management systems are more powerful with greater capabilities unheard of just ten years ago.
Modern BMS offer:
- Secure, open, and highly scalable architecture
- Deep visualization and power analytics
- Adaptable to changing tenant/occupant demands
Do you know the associated lifecycle of your building management system?
While most mechanical and electrical systems hold their value for 15 to 30 years before replacement is necessary, building management systems should be reviewed and updated more frequently. Studies show that the value of a BMS drops significantly as the system ages, reaching zero at the end of life. This is because it will no longer be performing as it was initially designed or be able to keep up with new requirements.
To avoid the obsolesce of your system, we recommend creating in advance a modernization plan of your BMS.
