== What is Building Management Systems (BMS)? ==

A Building Management System (BMS) is a computer-based control system, installed in buildings, that controls and monitors the building's mechanical and electrical equipment such as ventilation, lighting, power systems, fire systems, and security systems. The BMS is used to ensure that the building is operating efficiently, effectively, and safely.

The BMS typically consists of a network of sensors and controllers that are connected to a central computer or server. The sensors collect data about the building's systems and the environment, and the controllers use this data to adjust the operation of the equipment in real time. For example, the BMS might use data from temperature sensors to adjust the heating and cooling systems to maintain a comfortable temperature in the building.

The BMS also typically includes a user interface that allows building managers and other authorized personnel to monitor and control the building's systems. This can be done through a web-based interface or through specialized software installed on a computer or mobile device.
