SOLUTIONS FOR BUILDING AUTOMATION PROFESSIONALS

Building Automation System training & digital products

 Supporting the Building Automation industry with done-for-you digital products, technical training, and coaching

Building Automation (BMS/BAS) is not what it was 20 years ago. Manufacturer’s product training is suitable for the basic installation of a Building Management System. That was probably okay when comfort control was all our customers cared about.

Just installing the thing and keeping it running is no longer acceptable as building owner’s expectations increase to meet climate change initiatives like NetZero, building’s energy efficiency rating systems, and ESG reporting.

The building services industry is leaving us behind. We have lost the trust of our customers, and they are now looking to technology providers and mechanical contractors to close the gaps we are leaving wide open.

 
 

Prefer BMS/BAS specialist consulting services?

  • BMS upgrade specifications, tender management, construction phase technical management, and project management.

  • BMS Maintenance specifications (modernising maintenance contracts).

  • Portfolio-wide performance specifications (standardisation)

  • 10-Year Capital Expenditure plans.

  • Control strategy optimisation.

  • Independent advice.

Our Courses

Okay, here is how we are tackling industry-wide issues:

Firstly, let’s start at the beginning. The ‘BMS for mechanical consultants’ course focuses on improving mechanical consultant’s specifications and technical management. This will improve the specifications coming through into the market.

Next, let’s provide support to the end users, building owners and facility managers with our ‘BMS Maintenance specification + course’. This will start to improve the relationship between BMS/BAS contractors and their clients.

In the middle, between the consultants and the end users, are Building Automation companies, your support starts with our business-to-business consulting services and done-for-you digital products (online shop).


BMS For Mechanical Consultants

This course was developed by a BMS consultant for mechanical consultants involved in Building Management System projects. Learn how to reduce risk to your company, your client, and the BMS contractor.

BMS Maintenance Specification + course

Learn how to issue a BMS maintenance specification and align the BMS contractor with the technology provider, and get high-value BMS activities included as part of normal maintenance rather than offered as chargeable extras (specification provided).

Technical Coaching

Weekly one-to-one technical coaching.

The coaching program was created to support growing BMS companies that need one-to-one weekly support for an engineer or project manager assigned to an important project. When learning on the job erodes profit and damages a company’s reputation.


FREE Control Strategy courses (Part of the BMS Net Zero Program)

I am trying to coordinate a worldwide control strategy optimisation program for commercial offices. As part of the Net Zero program, we will be providing free access to some of our advanced control strategy courses.

 
 

OUR MISSION

Progress and innovation in the BMS industry are limited by the disconnect between the building owners, consultants, and BMS contractors.

Each individually providing value, but in isolation of understanding the priorities and constraints of the other.

Our mission is to tie together the various stakeholders in the building automation industry, to form a coordinated, unified approach.

Bryce Anderson

I am an independent Building Management System consultant based in Australia.

I started in the BMS industry in 1998 and initially worked for BMS companies for the first 15 years of my career (2 years in South Africa, 9 years in London, and 4 years in Melbourne).

In 2014 I transitioned into BMS consulting, saw a massive gap in the lack of specialist BMS consulting, and started Lifecycle Controls in 2017.

My focus is currently on BMS technical training and coaching for BMS companies and mechanical consultancies because fixing one project at a time makes no difference. Training thousands of engineers will :-)
