What is iBMS?

iBMS stands for Intelligent Building Management System. It’s a centralised platform that connects and coordinates building functions like HVAC, lighting, security, and more. By integrating these elements, iBMS offers real-time monitoring and control, helping you optimise energy usage and enhance occupant comfort.

What is iBMS?

How does iBMS differ from a standard BMS?

While a standard BMS may focus on managing a single aspect like HVAC, an iBMS goes further by integrating multiple systems into one interface. This holistic approach provides improved visibility, data-driven insights, and better decision-making across all building functions.

What does iBMS cost?

The cost varies based on building size, the number and types of systems being integrated, and any specific licensing or service requirements. Generally, the larger or more complex the building, the more extensive the solution.

How long does an iBMS installation take?

Installation timelines depend on project complexity, including the building’s size, the condition of existing infrastructure, and the scope of integration. Smaller buildings may require only a few weeks, whereas larger facilities could take several months.

iBMS Installation Process

How do I maintain and update my iBMS?

Regular service and updates ensure your iBMS continues to run smoothly and adapt to new technologies. At Nordomatic, we offer iBMS Service agreements that include proactive maintenance, upgrades, and priority support.

Can I upgrade an existing BMS to iBMS?

Absolutely. An iBMS Upgrade can replace outdated components with more modern, intelligent systems optimised for energy efficiency and IT security. This approach helps you future-proof your building without needing a full system replacement.

Is iBMS suitable for both new constructions and refurbishments?

iBMS solutions can be integrated into new builds from the planning stage or seamlessly retrofitted during refurbishments. Our team at Nordomatic has experience with schools, hospitals, arenas, office complexes, and research facilities.

Does iBMS work for smaller buildings, too?

Even smaller facilities can benefit from iBMS, as the system can scale up or down depending on the number of integrated services. The cost and scope of the project simply adjust to the building’s unique requirements.
