From cyberattacks that disrupt your building's daily operations to greater possibilities of downtime, increasing maintenance costs, and missing sustainability targets, an obsolete BMS can cost you time and money and can limit overall functionality.
New generation building management systems are more powerful with greater capabilities unheard of just ten years ago.
Modern BMS offer:
- Secure, open, and highly scalable architecture
- Deep visualization and power analytics
- Adaptable to changing tenant/occupant demands
Avoid the unnecessary risks of outdated BMS
Do you know the associated lifecycle of your building management system?
While most mechanical and electrical systems hold their value for 15 to 30 years before replacement is necessary, building management systems should be reviewed and updated more frequently. Studies show that the value of a BMS drops significantly as the system ages, reaching zero at the end of life. This is because it will no longer be performing as it was initially designed or be able to keep up with new requirements.
To avoid the obsolesce of your system, we recommend creating in advance a modernization plan of your BMS.
