What is a Building Management System (BMS)? | Smart Building & IoT Automation by Portworld
A Building Management System (BMS), also known as a Building Automation System (BAS), is a centralized platform that monitors and controls the mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical systems in a building. Modern smart buildings rely on BMS technology to enhance energy efficiency, streamline operations, and improve occupant comfort. Portworld provides advanced IoT-enabled BMS solutions that integrate seamlessly with smart devices, offering reliable and scalable building automation.
