Why should I build AI into my BMS?

Building Management Systems (BMS) integrate technologies for the centralized control of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, security, and other essential systems. By regulating these functions in real time, BMS enhances both energy efficiency and building safety. Today, built-in AI is making BMS systems more intelligent and automated.

 

AI and BMS: what are the benefits?

Artificial intelligence therefore offers tangible benefits in terms of energy efficiency, reduced maintenance costs and operational dependability.

 

Real-time system monitoring

One of the main benefits of AI when combined with BMS is real-time monitoring of equipment performance using connected sensors. These sensors collect data to continuously monitor various parameters, such as temperature, humidity, energy consumption and space occupancy. Using advanced algorithms, AI can then identify trends and detect early warning signs of failure.

 

Extending equipment service life

Because it eliminates superfluous operations, AI considerably reduces HVAC system operating cycles. Fewer operations mean fewer starts and stops, which is better for mechanical and electronic components. Compressors, fans, pumps and other moving parts are therefore subjected to less stress, reducing the risk of breakdowns and extending their service life.

 

Reducing energy costs

Artificial intelligence can automatically fine-tune equipment settings to ensure optimal comfort while minimizing energy consumption. As a result, AI delivers substantial savings on energy bills, helping to reduce the carbon footprint.

 

Anticipating failures

AI identifies anomalies and anticipates failures by constantly monitoring equipment performance.  For instance, AI can recommend replacement before failure, avoiding costly emergency repairs and minimizing downtime. This prediction is crucial to maintaining the buildings’ operational continuity.

 

Continuous improvement

AI never stops learning and improving. By continuously taking in new data and analyzing the results of its own adjustments, it constantly fine-tunes its strategies. The constant improvement dynamic enables us to respond flexibly and precisely to changing infrastructure needs.
