Abstract Building management systems have now become a vital tool for enhancing the energy efficiency, comfort, and automatic operation of buildings. Through the integration of all kinds of technologies, BMS controls and monitors such critical systems as HVAC, lighting, and security, reducing manual intervention and operation costs. The introduction of IoT significantly raised the bar in BMS functionality, allowing real-time acquisition of data, analytics, and predictive maintenance. IoT-connected sensors and devices, such as temperature, humidity, motion, and occupancy sensors, deliver real-time information to help in enhancing the performance and sustainability of a building. Niagara or horizontal M2M frameworks can ensure smooth communication among devices and thus provide scalable solutions for energy and building management. Integration of IoT in BMS provides operational efficiency besides helping the technicians to take proactive actions over impending issues, ensuring continuity of operation with minimum downtime. The paper examines the working, need, and benefits of BMS, the role of IoT in bringing a change in basic assumptions, and the types of sensors/devices available in the market.
Keywords Building Management System, IoT, Energy Efficiency, Smart Buildings, HVAC Systems, Sensors, Predictive Maintenance, Automation, Niagara Framework, and Building Automation.
