    A building management system is a computerised system which can help the user control and monitor the surrounding conditions within their property. The main benefits of having a building management system installed are that they operate at maximum levels of efficiency and economy, but new modern systems have the dual benefit of acting as an automatic monitoring and targeting system, monitoring, measuring and analysing consumption to aid with carbon reporting and controlling efficiency. This allows users to collect, evaluate and convert this data into important information, enabling them to monitor energy consumption, recognize waste, and emphasize areas for improvement and benchmark consumption against other similar buildings or organisations. This is achieved by sustaining the most favourable balance between energy usages, environmental surroundings and operating expectancy. The best building management systems could potentially decrease energy consumption by up to 25% to deliver fast payback on investment and reduce taxes on carbon emissions.…
