By the end of this course, learners will be able to interpret, evaluate, and design effective BMS interfaces for Air Handling Units (AHUs) to support efficient monitoring and operation. They will learn how clear layouts, logical navigation, visual hierarchy, consistent symbols, and well-organized information improve operator situational awareness and decision-making.

Through guided walkthroughs, practical activities, and AHU dashboard examples, learners will explore operating parameters, equipment status, commands, alarms, trends, schedules, and navigation commonly used in BMS interfaces. They will also examine how usability principles, operator feedback, and usability testing can be used to identify interface problems and improve dashboard effectiveness. This course builds on BMS and AHU fundamentals and prepares learners to evaluate and design operator-focused interfaces that support faster information retrieval, clearer fault identification, and effective AHU monitoring and operation.

This module introduces the fundamentals of Human-Machine Interface (HMI) design in Building Management Systems (BMS), with a focus on AHU interfaces. You will explore key HMI components, design principles, navigation, visual hierarchy, accessibility, and how control logic is translated into intuitive interface elements. Through videos, interactive activities, and practical examples, you will build the skills to design clear, user-friendly interfaces that support efficient monitoring, decision-making, and control.
