It is very important to control electricity distribution of a building to provide a comfortable environment to all the occupants. Proper control of electrical distribution control can be done by integrating the electrical system to the BMS.

Building Management System is a computer based control system installed in buildings that controls and monitors the building mechanical and electrical equipment. The function of Building Management System is central to ‘intelligent Buildings’ concepts .Its purpose is control, Monitor, and optimizes building services. E.g. Lighting, Heating, Security, CCTV and alarm systems access control, audio-visual and entertainment system, ventilation, filtration and climate etc. even time and attendance control and reporting. The essence of IBMS is in the control technologies, which allow integration, automation and optimization of all the services and equipment that provide services and manages the environment of the concerned.

Benefits of the electrical distribution to Building Management system

v Energy conservation through embedded intelligence

v Energy-effective systems balance a building's electric light, daylight and mechanical systems for maximum benefit.

v Enhanced lighting design is more than an electrical layout. It must consider the needs and schedules of occupants, seasonal and climatic daylight changes, and its impact on the building's mechanical systems.

v Automates some automatic control strategies such as automatically turning equipment ON/OFF according to a schedule allow energy saving.

v Allow an operator sitting at a computer to view key information about the building which improve building operation (understand what is going on in the building)

v A support system for maintenance staff to ensure guaranteed service levels.

v Reduce labor cost

v Allows an operator at a computer to control some of the equipment in the building which improve building operations (allow remote control/ignore when necessary)

v Compensate for human errors

v Maintenance and audit trail of what happened and when it happened which improve building management (reporting /traceability)

v Facilitate efficient operation of a building

v Enables even medium skilled person to centrally overview the building states.

v Maintenance historical data for selected information (room temperature)

v Alerts the operator when reading fall outside of normal range (Breaker trips, temperature too warm) which improve building operation (tailor reaction time to problems)
