Managing modern buildings is no easy task. From HVAC and lighting to energy, water, and indoor air quality, each subsystem generates massive amounts of data — but often in silos.
Traditional Building Management Systems (BMS) helped centralize some of these functions, but they are wired, hardware-heavy, and expensive to maintain. They also struggle with real-time optimization and ESG reporting.
Enter the Automated BMS: a next-generation approach that is wireless, AI-powered, and ESG-ready. Platforms like BuildoT are redefining building operations by making data not just visible — but actionable.
What Is an Automated BMS ?
An Automated BMS is a cloud-native control system that integrates:
- HVAC (heating, ventilation, cooling)
- Lighting
- Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
- Energy metering
- Water and utilities
Unlike legacy BMS, automated systems continuously learn and optimize operations using IoT sensors, AI algorithms, and feedback loops.
BuildoT, Machinesens’ flagship Automated BMS, is designed for wireless retrofits and ESG compliance — delivering real-time optimization across entire building portfolios.
Benefits of Automated BMS
- Energy & Cost Savings
- Predictive AI adjusts HVAC based on occupancy and tariffs.
- Typical savings: 20–30% reduction in energy bills.
- Supports DEWA, Empower, Tabreed API integration for GCC buildings.
- ESG Compliance & Carbon Monetization
- Track Scope 1–2 emissions in real time.
- Prepare WELL, LEED, Estidama reports instantly.
- Convert avoided CO₂ into tokenized carbon credits via the Carbon Marketplace.
- Occupant Comfort & Health
- IAQ monitored continuously with AiroCheck sensors (CO₂, VOCs, PM).
- Feedback loop with Community App (“too hot,” “stuffy”) directly adjusts HVAC.
- Tenants get transparency and trust.
- Predictive Maintenance & Uptime
- FM360 detects anomalies before failures.
- Automated work orders reduce downtime by up to 25%.
- SLA dashboards improve technician performance.
- Core Features of BuildoT (Machinesens Automated BMS)
- Wireless-first deployment (LoRa, BACnet, Modbus, MQTT).
- Autonomous logic: AI agents act on energy, comfort, and IAQ.
- Smart scheduling: Optimize based on occupancy & tariff.
- Occupant-centric: Comfort driven by live feedback.
Seamless integration: Connects HVAC, lighting, IAQ, and energy under one cloud UI.
