Multi-vendor BMS systems – where is the lock in? Part 2

Written By Bryce Anderson

This second part in the series about ‘open’ BMS systems, discusses how owners still get locked in, even if they have a multi-vendor BMS system.

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, coaching, and B2B consulting for BMS companies and mechanical consultancies. Because, fixing one project at a time was making no difference. Training thousands of engineers will :-)

We are building buildings faster than ever before, but we haven’t changed how we design and install the BMS/BAS. To keep up we need to completely change how we design and install BMS/BAS systems.

Some technology companies will market their product as opening up the lock-in from the BMS and the BMS contractor. That may not be quite right.

Simple PID adjustment that saves energy
Simple PID adjustment that saves energy

When we want to save energy, we often start with the major systems. E.g., the chilled water system. But, there are a lot of small changes that can be made, which can often be done during BMS service time.

BMS companies are not training their engineers and managers in advanced concepts. If they are not going to do it, then you should consider investing in your own career.

Like everything, there are pros and cons that need to be considered when you have a multi-vendor BMS.

The BMS Net Zero program. Which systems you start optimising is important. If you do not start with the right system, you may need to come back later and do it again.

BMS Net Zero - Introduction
BMS Net Zero - Introduction

We do not need millions of electric cars, millions of wind turbines, millions of solar panels, billions of dollars - we just need time to update the software programs in millions of existing BMS controllers. And, we can do this during normal service time. We already have a maintenance contract, we are already getting paid to go to site. Why not update the code while we are there?

A differential pressure switch, used to determine if a filter is dirty, does not really work on VAV AHU's. This is another one of those things, where something changed 20 years ago, and we did not realise that our monitoring system needed to change.

Covid is causing Outside Air Control Issues
Covid is causing Outside Air Control Issues

After thought: When the health department talks about buildings that do not have enough outside air, they are probably talking about hotels, age care living, apartments, C-Grade buildings with DX air conditioning. I don't think this lack of outside air applies to premium grade and A-Grade buildings in expensive cities around the world, built in the past 10 years. They are often designed with lots of outside air (above code requirements).
