What are the Critical Components of Building Automation System?

Building automation systems are the smart and innovative controller networks that are used in buildings to monitor and control various systems and services in the premises. It involves integrating the functionality of different equipment in a property structure, such as fire alarm, video surveillance, mist system, access control, and other parts. The main objective of building management system (BMS) is to ensure safety and increase efficiency of a facility. A BMS is usually implemented during initial construction but it can also be integrated in a building structure through a retrofitting process. An effective BMS solution has 5 critical components that are listed below.

Input Devices/Sensors

Sensors are tools that detect changes in parameters such as temperature, light, people count in a room, and other factors. Fire alarm, temperature sensors, and intrusion detectors are some of the essential sensors and fire safety equipment. When alteration occur in any noticeable factor these sensors detect the changes and send messages to the control and coordination systems in a building. That means installation of reliable fire suppression and access control sensors is essential to enhance safety efficiently.

Coordination Systems

These building automation equipment receive information from input devices and interpret them to give necessary command to output devices such as security alarms, mist systems, and other safety systems. The controllers are the most important part of a building management system, therefore, they should be sourced from best-known service providers such as SAS Systems Engineering. The Company is a leading building automation and access control solution provider in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Output Devices

Output devices receive commands from coordinators and respond to the instructions provided. For instance, in an event of fire, a mist system can operate to reduce temperature and contain fire. Similarly, a security system and access control responds to instructions and take necessary actions for more responsive system protection and safety. HCIS approved contractors provide dependable output devices for improved building management and safety.

Communication Systems

Each equipment and service in an integrated BMS solution use a particular language to send, interpret, and receive information. Communication systems enable smooth functioning of all necessary safety systems including firefighting protection system and access control.

BMS User Interfaces

User interface is used to display understandable information enabling human interaction with building management system. BMS terminal interfaces should be intuitive and easy to use so that users can access and proactively manage all building systems. SAS Systems Engineering offers integrated building safety and management system that is installed in various building structures to ensure safety of the facility and improve its efficiency.

If you want to take your BMS to the next level, consider working with HCIS approved contractors. You can hire SAS Systems Engineering to get a comprehensive BMS solution for your building.
