The core function of a BMS is to control hundreds of pieces of plant, equipment and lighting, yet recently, BMS providers have started adding ‘building analytics’ modules to their offering.

Why data driven airport operations are the next big property industry transformation opportunity
When an airports HVAC system consumes 60-70% of it’s energy, building analytics can have a particularly powerful impact on energy consumption.
