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.

12–16 Weeks
Ideal for deep coverage across modules.

5-day Intensive Workshops
For professional upskilling.

6 Week Formats
with focused modular structure are frequently offered.

Lecture decks, real-world BMS equipment (sensors, controllers), case study repositories.

Software tools (e.g., Niagara, Schneider EcoStruxure, RSLogix), CAD & simulation platforms.

Templates: I/O schedules, logic diagrams, commissioning checklists, cybersecurity audit forms.

 Civil, Mechanical, Electrical engineering graduates and diploma holders.
 HVAC technicians, electrical/mechanical engineers, and IT professionals

 Facility managers, building engineers, maintenance teams.
 BMS operators, energy managers, property managers.

 Project managers, coordinators, supervisors.
 Sales, estimation, and design engineers in MEP and construction.

 Construction industry professionals.
 Sustainability coordinators and consultants.
 Recent graduates or early-career professionals aiming to break into building automation.

Each of these roles interacts with different facets of a BMS—whether it's selecting equipment, configuring and commissioning systems, managing operations and energy use, or driving business growth through installations and sales.
