How IoT Sensors Optimize A Building Management System
IoT For All, Wednesday, November 13th, 2024
Consider a building with devices like energy meters, occupancy sensors, room thermostats, and pressure monitors.
These sensors supply a Building Management System (BMS) with crucial data, alerts, and status updates. The BMS functions across three distinct levels, integrating sensors, actuators, controllers, and management interfaces to enhance building performance.
Field level: At this level, there are sensors (like those for temperature and air quality) and actuators (such as light switches, blinds, and ventilation flaps). Systems like KNX, BACnet, and Modbus are commonly used here.
