BMS Maintenance Explained for Building Managers

How schedules, sensors, trends and alarms affect comfort and energy use.

What a BMS actually controls

A Building Management System runs schedules, setpoints and alarms for HVAC and related equipment. When it drifts out of sync with real building usage, comfort and energy costs both suffer.

Common issues

Outdated schedules, unacknowledged alarms, drifting sensors and overridden setpoints are the most common causes of BMS-related comfort complaints.

What a review covers

A BMS maintenance visit checks schedules against actual occupancy, verifies sensor readings and reviews alarm history for unresolved faults.
