FAQs
1. What is a Building Management System and how does it work?
A Building Management System, abbreviated as BMS, is a networked system that monitors, controls, and automates many systems of a building, such as HVAC, lighting, energy management, access control, and fire alarm.
It achieves this by collecting information from devices and sensors and processing data for increased system efficiency. Building managers can conserve energy, enhance occupant comfort, and maintain safety all from a single console with smart building management systems. Contemporary BMS platforms such as Tridium also have IoT and cloud compatibility for remote monitoring and control.
2. What systems can be integrated with BMS?
A strong, intelligent building management system, such as Acceron’s, can incorporate:
HVAC systems
Lighting control
Energy metering
Security and access control
Fire alarms and life safety systems
Elevator systems
Water and wastewater management
IoT sensors and smart devices
This integration allows complete monitoring, automation, and optimization of building operations, energizing energy efficiency and sustainability.
3. How does BMS help reduce energy consumption?
BMS decreases energy usage by:
- Tracking real-time energy consumption across systems.
- Automating lighting and HVAC in response to occupancy and availability of daylight.
- Using smart triggers through IoT sensors for performance optimization.
- Detecting inefficiencies for the purpose of correction.
Through the utilization of energy metering and optimization, organizations are able to save on utilities and meet net-zero building goals commensurate with sustainability and decarbonization initiatives.
4. What is the ROI of implementing a smart BMS?
The return on investment (ROI) of adopting a smart building management solution generally encompasses:
- Energy savings of 15-30% per annum.
- Lower operating costs with predictive maintenance.
- Increased lifespan of building equipment.
- Better adherence to green building solutions, such as LEED.
With operational efficiencies and sustainability advantages, organizations typically break even on their BMS investment within 2-5 years.
5. Can Acceron’s BMS be integrated with older infrastructure?
Yes, Acceron’s BMS monitoring system supports legacy infrastructure integration. With BACnet and Modbus compatibility, legacy systems can communicate with new controls easily, enabling smart upgrades instead of full replacements.
6. Is your BMS compatible with IoT and cloud-based controls?
Yes. Our cloud-based building management system is compatible with IoT devices, allowing for smart data collection, remote access, and automation through cloud platforms. This promises:
- Scalability
- Real-time monitoring
- Centralized control of multi-site buildings
7. How long does it take to deploy a building management system?
Deployment time depends on building size and complexity. Generally:
- Small facilities: 4-6 weeks
- Large commercial space or campuses: 8-12 weeks
Acceron adopts a systematic approach: assessment, design, installation, testing, and training to achieve seamless deployment with reduced downtime.
8. Do you offer post-installation support and monitoring?
Yes, Accerton offers end-to-end post-installation support such as:
24/7 monitoring
Predictive maintenance

Major components are:
- Central Control Unit
- Sensors & Actuators
- Communication Protocols (BACnet, Modbus)
- IoT Devices
- User Interface Dashboards
- Cloud Connectivity
All these components collaborate to offer real-time control and automation of building functions.
10. Is BMS the same as building automation system?
Although both of them are interrelated, a Building Automation System (BAS) primarily deals with the automation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and lighting. A Building Management System (BMS) is broader in scope, incorporating security, energy, safety, and environmental control into one platform with more intelligence and analytics.
11. How do smart buildings save energy?
Smart buildings reduce energy consumption by:
- Automated adjustments based on occupancy.
- Energy metering & optimization.
- Use of IoT sensors for precision control.
- Integration with renewable energy sources.
Acceron’s BMS, coupled with solutions such as ThermoG, promotes improved indoor air quality while optimizing energy consumption towards achieving net zero.
12. What is the difference between BMS and EMS (Energy Management System)?
- BMS: Controls a diverse set of building systems (HVAC, security, lighting).
- EMS: Specifically monitors and optimizes energy consumption.
Acceron’s BMS features built-in energy management functionality, offering a twofold benefit of control over operations and energy savings.
13. Can BMS improve indoor air quality and comfort?
Yes. With smart HVAC controls and IoT sensors, Acceron’s BMS and products like ThermoG can measure and regulate filtration, humidity, and ventilation to improve air quality. This directly translates to occupant comfort, productivity, and health.
14. What is the purpose of a building management system?
The main function is to:
- Centralize control of building systems.
- Improve efficiency and safety.
- Reduce energy consumption.
- Enhance sustainability compliance (LEED, WELL).
It turns buildings into intelligent, responsive spaces that meet the needs of today’s operations.
15. How does IoT impact modern building management systems?
IoT in BMS makes possible:
- Real-time data capture from intelligent sensors.
- Predictive maintenance through analytics.
- Adaptive control based on occupancy and environmental information.
- Remote monitoring and cloud-based management.
