Building Management System

Centralization – one interface for all systems

Streamlining Administration Facilities

Open Architecture and Compatibility

Building Management System (BMS), otherwise known as a Building Automation System (BAS), 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.

Implemented in projects with extensive mechanical, HVAC, and electrical systems. Systems linked to a BMS typically represent 40% of a building’s energy usage; if lighting is included, this number approaches to 70%. BMS systems are a critical component to managing energy demand. Improperly configured BMS systems are believed to account for 20% of building energy usage, or approximately 8% of total energy usage in the United States

BMS integrates with Internet protocols and open standards such as DeviceNet, SOAP, XML, BACnet, LonWorks, Modbus and others

Benefits to Companies

• Possibility of individual room control
• Increased staff productivity
• Effective monitoring and targeting of energy consumption
• Improved plant and asset reliability and life
• Effective response to HVAC-related complaints
• Save time and money during the maintenance
• Occupancy sensors allow automatic setback override during unoccupied periods as well as adaptive occupancy scheduling.
• Lighting controls reduce unnecessary artificial lighting via motion sensors and schedules as well as by controlling daylight harvesting louvers
• Controllers save water and energy by controlling rainwater harvesting and landscape irrigation.

Benefits to Building Managers

• Higher rental value
• Flexibility on change of building use
• Individual tenant billing for services facilities time saving
• Remote monitoring of the plants (such as AHU’s, fire pumps, plumbing pumps, electrical supply, STP, WTP, greywater treatment plant etc.)
• Ease of maintenance

Benefits to Maintenance Companies

• Ease of information availability
• Computerized maintenance scheduling
• Effective use of maintenance staff
• Early detection of problems or service work easy
• More satisfied occupants

Additional Business Benefits

• Data is consolidated onto a single system to improve reporting, information management and decision-making. Integrating and managing the HVAC, energy, security, digital video and life safety applications from a single workstation allows facility-wide insight and control for better performance.
• Increased operational savings – Efficient resource deployment can result in reduced operational costs, empowering operators, simplifying training and decreasing false alarms.
• Energy efficient – Real-time view into facility operations and deep trend analysis provide data-driven insight to optimize your energy management strategies and minimize operational costs.
• Flexibility to grow and expand – The powerful combination of open systems protocols and a scalable platform means the BMS can help support growth and expansion of the system in the future.
• Reduced risk – Strategic mobile or desktop control, exceptional alarm management and integrated security solutions helps to see the big picture, helping to speed up response time and mitigate risks for the property, people and business.
• Intelligent reporting – Comprehensive reporting with functionality for customizable Systems and Solutions.

Long-awaited: simplicity and clarity

Unlike any other interfaces on the market, THRONE was developed keeping in mind the habitual for human object-spatial perception of the environment. The breakthrough THRONE interface based on a 3D-model of a building, what demonstrates a fundamentally new approach to the building management and control systems. Due to a three-dimensional model, control of any building automation systems is fast, simple and for the first time is genuinely intuitive. Uniqueness of THRONE is confirmed by patents.

Centralization – one interface for all systems

All systems connected to the single control interface. This allows one to control entire building from any control panel connected to the system’s server. The user gets remote access to the consoles, switches, sensors, regulators and etc., located in a building from any panel or tablet connected to a single control interface.

Velocity

Three-dimensional model of a building underlying THRONE interface, allows user to instantly navigate within the building’s systems and reduce to a minimum period of training to operate system. This approach allows to manage any building much faster than using the classic interface with menus and lists. THRONE is so easy to use, that one can manage huge and complicated building from the very first time.

Energy Saving

The THRONE system’s ability for integration of different sensors allows to set flexible custom scripts. For example, THRONE can turn on lighting, if it the room becomes dark. Or the light will automatically turn off if the alarm is enabled. There are various lighting scenarios, such as ‘weekend’, ‘working day’, ‘holiday’, and so on. Coordinated work of conditioning and ventilation loops, timely activation and deactivation of integrated devices, using motion and light sensors to enable energy savings of the building.

Streamlining Administration Facilities and Time Saving

Managed and controlled exploitation of lighting and climate systems helps to reduce unnecessary waste of energy and makes life and work comfortable and efficient. THRONE building automation system reducing not only direct operating costs, such as consumption of electricity, but also indirect – on time and efforts of staff responsible building administration.

Automation and the ‘Human Factor’

Automation allows Business to use resources only when it is needed. For example, automatically turn on and off lighting, heating or air conditioning, when and where it’s needed in accordance to predefined and pre-set scenarios. While saving resources, automation also reduces the ‘human factor’. In the 21st century one can afford to automate management and control of all building systems, independently of staff consciousness and responsibility.

Open Architecture and Compatibility

Installers of building automation equipment often face difficulty in integrating various devices from different manufacturers into one system. This imposes constraints on functionality and often leads to significant extra costs. THRONE was developed independently from manufacturers of equipment of automation systems, so that control devices of different brands can be integrated into one system. THRONE is compatible with the most common standards – KNX / EIB, HDL Bus, TELETASK.
