Smart Lighting: The Future of Building Management

Do you still use simple non-dimmable lights for your building lighting projects? It is a new trend for smart lighting in Europe to include buildings’ lighting systems into building management systems (BMS)! To improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions, a regulatory decree requires Building Automation Control Systems (BACS) in tertiary buildings by January 2025. In 2020, all member states of the EU are required to transpose this decree into national laws and rules, according to the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).

The building BMS system is one of the main components of the intelligent building. The BMS involves the building's electricity, lighting, air conditioning, ventilation, water supply and drainage, disaster prevention, safety precautions, garage management, and other equipment and systems. It is a sub-system with a wide range of intelligent buildings, large design tasks, and engineering construction.

The BMS monitors each electrical equipment online, and detects the working status of the equipment by setting corresponding sensors, travel switches, photoelectric controls, etc., and the computer obtains the analysis results and then returns to the equipment terminal for mediation.

The BMS can realize comprehensive monitoring and management of the equipment and the building environment in the building (group) and create a comfortable, safe, economical, efficient, and convenient working and living environment for the building’s users. By optimizing the operation and management of equipment, operating expenses can be reduced by 30 - 60%.
