Building Technology

Building Automation (BMS)

A Building Management System connects HVAC, pumps, meters and critical equipment so facility teams can monitor conditions, schedule operation, respond to alarms and understand energy and water use across the building.

System architecture

Every building system, visible and controllable from one place.

  1. 01 HVAC AHU · FCU · chillers
  2. 02 Pumps & Water Pressure · level · flow
  3. 03 Meters Energy · water
  4. 04 Controllers DDC / PLC
  5. 05 BMS Dashboard Central control

Typical challenges

What this solves

  • Plant rooms and equipment spread across floors with no central status.
  • HVAC and pumps running on fixed schedules regardless of demand.
  • No visibility of energy and water use by system or area.
  • Equipment faults discovered late, after occupants complain.

Capabilities

What we deliver

  • BMS architecture and point schedules
  • HVAC monitoring and control integration
  • Pump, tank and pressure monitoring
  • Energy and water meter integration
  • Alarm notification and history
  • Graphics, schedules and trend logging

Engineering approach

How Machine Lab approaches it

  • 01

    HVAC automation

    Monitoring and control of air handling units, fan coil units, ventilation and chilled-water systems with schedules and set-points.

  • 02

    Utilities & pumps

    Pump status, water tank levels, pressure and flow brought into the same system as HVAC.

  • 03

    Metering

    Energy and water meters integrated to show consumption by building, floor, tenant or system.

  • 04

    Central dashboard

    Floor-by-floor graphics, alarms, schedules and trends for facility and management teams.
