INTRODUCTION

All Buildings have some form of mechanical

and electrical services in order to provide the
facilities necessary for maintaining a
comfortable working environment. These
services have to be controlled by some means
to ensure comfort conditions. Basic controls
take the form of manual switching, time clocks
or temperature switches. Here if Building
Management System (BMS), is introduced, we
are able to get a comfortable working
environment in an efficient way.

What is BMS ?
central controlling facility
automate and take control of various operations
manage all the systems
coordinate the various systems
provide a comfortable working environment in
an efficient way.
Its purpose is to control, monitor and optimize
building services
e.g., lighting; heating & cooling; security ;
audio-visual and entertainment systems;
ventilation and climate control; time &
attendance control and reporting

 BMS AND ENERGY SAVINGS
With the usage of various building automation
techniques the energy efficiency is possible
With the help of occupancy sensors provided
in various areas of the building, the service
plants can be brought into operation only
when needed and also to the optimum,
thereby leading to huge energy savings

 BMS AND BENEFITS
General
BMS improves quality of built environment,
efficiency of workstations, while allowing great
savings in energy consumption
Security and Life safety systems
With the introduction of the various security and
life safety systems like Smart Access control,
Smoke detector, Fire alarm and Fire sprinkler, the
environment can be made much easy and fear
free to work with
Mechanical systems
*Provide an acceptable level of temperature and
humidity and safe guard against odours and
indoor air pollutants.
*Create a sense of habitability through air
movement, ventilation and slight temperature

 INTELLIGENT SAFETY
SYSTEMS
Life safety factors involved in Intelligent
Buildings are:
Closed-circuit television
Card access control
Smoke detection
Emergency control of elevator, doors ,HVAC
system

UPS
Data access security

 CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISIONS AND SURVEILLANCE
SYSTEMS
Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is the use of video
cameras to transmit a signal to a specific, limited set
of monitors. It differs from broadcast television in that
the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may
employ point wireless links. CCTV is often used for
surveillance in areas, which need security, such as
banks, casinos, airports etc. Modern CCTV cameras
use small high definition color cameras that can not
only focus to resolve minute detail, but by linking the
control of the cameras to a computer, objects can be
tracked automatically
ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM
Controlling access to any premise is of vital
importance at present, whether it is a high security
area such as a Hospital, Airport, Bank, or any common
building such as an Insurance Office, School, or
Department store.

 There are:Portrait ID System,Swipe Card Access
Control Systems, Biometric Access Control
Systems
SMOKE DETECTION SYSTEM
Smoke is often the first sign that the fire is
occurring, therefore an automatic detection
system based on smoke detectors is a
valuable tool in the early dection of fire.
Smoke detectors are commonly classified by
their mode of operation. Ionization Smoke
Detector:
Ionization smoke detector uses a
a radioaCTive material to convert the air
contained.

negative charges
Photoelectric Smoke Detectors:
Photoelectric smoke detectors use light
to detect visible smoke particles produced by burning
material

 FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM:
General:
Fire sprinklers are very useful in extinguishing
the fire before it spreads out. More than
extinguishing its very important to control it.
Especially in libraries, office buildings, hotels etc,
its service is invaluable. Fire sprinklers can be
automatic or open orifice type.
Automatic fire sprinkler:
Automatic fire sprinklers operate at
a predetermined temperature, utilizing a fusible
link, a portion of which melts, or a frangible glass
bulb containing liquid which breaks, allowing the
plug in.

the water pressure in the fire sprinkler piping,
resulting in water flow from the orifice

 INTELLIGENT COMFORT SYSTEMS
It is difficult to get an optimum working
environment only through design for the
whole year. Mechanical fans, desert coolers,
air-conditioners etc. supplement the indoor
comfort to a great extent. But all these are
operated and controlled manually in general.
At the same time some artificial intelligent
systems like Occupancy Sensors,
Temperature Sensors etc. can be used to
sense the temperature increase and the
presence of occupants to decide comfort level
required to achieve the optimum conditions.

14
 PASSIVE INFRARED OCCUPANCY SENSORS
(PIR):
Passive Infrared Occupancy Sensor turns
lights on and off based on the occupancy.
When the PIR sensor detects a change in
the infrared heat radiated within the
controlled area, lighting systems are
switched ON. When occupants leave the
area, lighting is switched OFF after the user
adjustable time delay elapses.

 BMS AND ILLUMINATION SYSTEM
Lighting up the building is an art. With out
proper illuminaton the entire space will look
dull, creating an uncomfortable working
space. Any how we cannot depend on
artificial lights alone. It will add up the
running costs. Hence some methods to
bring natural light inside the habitable
space shall be sort out.

17
 LIGHTING CONTROL
With the help of a light dimming device its
possible to control the intensity of lights
especially when its requirement becomes
less. . This can be made possible by
suitably integrating the lighting systems
with the BMS through sensors by which it is
also possible to turn off the lights
automatically when its not needed. Hence
there is the economy in using the building.

18
 Different control systems exist, again time-
based control and optimizer parameter-based
where a level of illuminance or particular use of
lighting is required.
Zones: lights are switched on corresponding to the
use and layout of the lit areas, in order to avoid
lighting a large area if only a small part of it needs
light.
Time control: to switch on and off automatically in
each zone to a preset schedule for light use.
Passive Infra-Red (PIR) Occupancy sensing: In areas
which are occupied intermittently, occupancy sensors
can be used to indicate whether anybody is present
or not, and switch the light on or off accordingly.
Light level monitoring: this consists of switching or
dimming artificial lighting to maintain task-specific
light level measured by a photocell.
19
 CONCLUSION
In this 21st century with the advent of the
various artificial intelligent systems the work
places became very cozy to work with. It has
changed the entire working environment
leading to the increased out put and also
reducing the running cost to a certain extent.
As it gives optimum thermal & lighting
efficiency it will cut down the electricity bills.
But any how today the cost of such
equipments to make a building artificially
intelligent is a costly means. With the increase
in demand of such systems the cost of these
will become affordable as more and more
builders will be using such systems in future.
