There are 2 modules in this course
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Building Management Systems (BMS), focusing on how modern buildings achieve efficient, automated, and centralized control of critical services. Across two modules, learners will explore the architecture of BMS, including field devices, controllers, and supervisory systems, as well as how different building services—such as HVAC, lighting, power monitoring, and utilities—are integrated into a unified platform.
Learners will develop the ability to understand data flow, control strategies, and communication protocols, enabling effective monitoring and optimization of building performance. The course also emphasizes how BMS contributes to energy efficiency, fault detection, and operational reliability.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to identify key components of a BMS, understand system integration, and apply control logic to improve building operations.
What makes this course unique is its system-level, integration-focused approach, moving beyond theory to demonstrate how multiple building systems work together through automation. It equips learners with practical knowledge relevant to smart buildings, energy management, and modern infrastructure design.
Target learners:
• Graduate engineers seeking practical knowledge in Smart Building Electrical & ELV systems.
• Design consultants and project engineers working on building and infrastructure projects.
• Commissioning, maintenance, and facility professionals involved in smart building technologies.
This module introduces the fundamentals of Building Management Systems (BMS) and their role in automating and optimizing building operations. It covers BMS concepts such as system topology, communication protocols, and integration of various building services. Learners will understand key components including sensors, controllers, valves, and actuators used to manage HVAC systems and other building utilities. The module also explains AHU and chiller plant monitoring, cooling control methods, and the role of BMS in improving energy efficiency, operational reliability, and occupant comfort in smart buildings.
