Building Management System (BMS)
Structured syllabus for a Building Management System (BMS) training program, refined from several established courses to give you a comprehensive curriculum:
Foundations of BMS:
Introduction: Definition of BMS, IBMS, BAS; system architecture and layered design.
Key Components: Sensors, actuators, controllers, I/O modules, MCC, VFDs name.
HVAC Overview: AFU, AHU, FCU, VAV, chillers – integration points.
Communication & Networking:
Protocols: BACnet, Modbus, KNX, LonWorks, M-Bus, proprietary systems.
Networking Basics: LAN/WAN, IP networking, switching, Ethernet, wireless integration (Zigbee/Bluetooth Low Energy).
Control Logic & DDC Programming
DDC & PLC Basics: Input/output types, digital vs analog signals, controller selection.
Programming Methods: Functional block diagrams, scripts, PID controls, setpoint logic, troubleshooting.
Project Design & Documentation
Project Walkthrough: I/O point scheduling, schematics, sequence of operations, risk/value assessments.
Engineering Tools: CAD, BMS design software, controller tool configuration.
Visualization & HMI
Graphics Development: UI design, alarms, trends, schedules, animation, licensing setup.
Integration with Safety & Security Systems
Fire alarms (addressable/conventional).
Security: CCTV, access control, biometrics, IP cameras.
Intruder alarms, VDP, PA systems.
Energy & Sustainability
Energy Management: Monitoring, demand response, sub-metering, integrations with renewables.
Smart Building Strategies: IoT sensor deployments, cloud BMS, predictive analytics, digital twins.
Commissioning & Maintenance
Pre‑Commissioning/Commissioning: IO upload/download, flowcharting, troubleshooting techniques.
Operations & Maintenance: Trend analysis, preventive upkeep, regulations, and compliance.
Cybersecurity & Standards
Security Risks: Vulnerabilities, botnet threats, secure protocol standards (BACnet, KNX, Zigbee).
Industry Compliance: ISO/EN standards (e.g., EN 50090, EN 50491), national building codes, ASHRAE.
Capstone & Case Studies
Hands‑on Projects: Full lifecycle project from design to implementation.
Real‑world Analysis: Case studies on energy-efficient & smart building systems.
