Integrating HVAC With Building Management Systems

Smart Buildings, Smarter HVAC:
How to Overcome Integration Challenges

There is a growing need for smarter, connected, and automated systems in buildings. Building Management Systems (BMSs) have made it possible for buildings to be more connected, remotely controlled, and energy-efficient. However, integrating Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems with BMSs remains a significant challenge for several reasons:

1
BMS-HVAC integration can be time-consuming
The search for a compatible gateway combined with different integration protocols and setup procedures specific to each HVAC manufacturer can cause delays in the design and planning stage.
2
Third-party support complications
During the installation phase, support procedures, often performed by a third-party entity (sometimes located in a different time zone and with limited availability), can create a bottleneck and hold up the project.
3
Integration verification
Once the commissioning of a BMS-HVAC integration is done, control and status verification testing is a critical final step. Unfortunately, this can be a lengthy, complex process.
