Maintenance engineering of a BMS (Building Management System) system is the set of technical and organizational activities aimed at guaranteeing the correct operation, reliability and efficiency of a building management system over time.
Objectives of BMS maintenance engineering:
Prevent faults and malfunctions: through scheduled preventive maintenance activities, such as inspections, checks and replacements of worn components, the risks of sudden and costly failures are reduced.
Optimize performance: through sensor calibration, software updates and operating data analysis, it is ensured that the BMS system always operates at its full potential.
Extend the useful life of the system:correct maintenance helps to extend the life of the BMS system, reducing the need for early replacements and associated costs.
Reduce operating costs:: a well-maintained BMS system consumes less energy, requires less repair work and reduces building management costs in the long run.
Main activities of BMS maintenance engineering:
- Analysis of customer needs and definition of necessary services
- Preventative maintenance
- Corrective maintenance
- Continuous monitoring of data and trends coming from the BMS
- Definition of logic and/or improvement interventions
- Implementation of logic/improvement interventions
