Building management system architecture for large building automation systems

The paper presents a concept of Building Management System (based on SCADA/HMI system) for buildings with large scale automation system. The concept foundation is to build a control system database as an extension of Building Information Modelling (BIM) database, which contains definition of automation system and technological infrastructure controlled by the automation. Second foundation of the concept is to enforce a set of rules used in building automation commissioning phase and BMS system construction phase, which ensures coherence between automation subsystems. The feature with distinguishes the concept from the concept used for office space buildings is to allow for unlimited number of individual room configurations. The office space rooms fall usually in small number of types, whereas presented concept supports buildings with large amount of non-standard laboratories of different technological requirements, for which neither standard automation systems, nor BMS systems don't fulfill all requirements. Proposed in the paper concept for BMS system was successfully implemented in several university buildings with didactic rooms and research laboratories, verifying presented concept.
