Technology advances show people a more efficient way to do things, and
these processes get results. For example, education has been greatly
advanced by the technological advances of computers. Students are able
to learn on a global scale without ever leaving their classrooms.
Agricultural processes that once required dozens upon dozens of human
workers can now be automated, thanks to advances in technology, which
means cost-efficiency for farmers. Medical discoveries occur at a much
more rapid rate, thanks to machines and computers that aid in the
research process and allow for more intense educational research into
medical matters.

A Building Management System (BMS) or a (more recent terminology) Building Automation System (BAS) is a computer-based control system installed in buildings that controls and monitors the building's mechanical and electrical equipment such as ventilation, lighting, power systems, fire systems, and security systems.

A building management system can be a key tool for any business. It can provide a comfortable working environment for building occupants; enhancing productivity and contribute significantly to saving energy costs and a reduced carbon footprint if used correctly. All too often the capabilities of the BMS itself are not fully utilized, and the potential benefits are lost. To fully realise this potential the system should be used as the true building manager linking together as many of the different systems that use energy within the building as possible. Users have been put off doing this in the past because of concerns about the potential complexity of the system and the possible increase in initial costs for the system. These issues are now easier to overcome, and an integrated building management system

Let that building or facility serve you. One of the best ways to grow and experience what life can offer is to try something new. Your comfort zone is exactly that- comfortable, familiar and predictable. It’s where you feel safe and face almost no risk. It’s your fortress in which you hide away from life’s struggles, challenges and opportunities.

BASSCOMM  has adopted the use of this technology for the control of
building services within buildings. This in turn allows the optimization
of various site and building services, often yielding significant cost
reductions and large energy savings for the customer.
A practical example is the control of a meeting room. When the room is unoccupied it is appropriate to reduce the heating temperature setpoints, increase those for the cooling and turn the lighting off. This can all be done via a signal from an occupancy or CO2 sensor to both the lighting- and temperature-control systems. In most cases however this does not happen; the two systems are not integrated, and energy-saving potential is lost. This is a shame as this type of demand-based control is relatively easy to implement, and the payback period for any additional work can be fairly short.



BMS C3IS JASMINE is one of the main software modules of the BMS C3IS JASMINE. This software is a component of the BMS Jasmine, dedicated for use in mobile command systems at the tactical level with the radio communications. It can also operate as a stand-alone solution and it can work independently.

10 Rules for Electricity Safety

1. DON'T plug a bunch of stuff into one outlet or extension cord.
It could damage the electrical system in your house or even cause a fire.
2. Make sure all electric cords are tucked away, neat and tidy.
Pets might chew on electrical cords, and people might trip and fall.
3. Don't ever climb the fence around an electrical substation
If a ball or pet gets inside the fence, ask a grown-up to call the electric company - they'll come and get it out for you.
4. DON'T yank an electrical cord from the wall.
Pulling on a cord can damage the appliance, the plug or the outlet.
5. make sure kids fly their kite far away from power lines or substations.
The kite and the string may conduct electricity - sending it right through you to the ground.
6. train your kids to ask a grown-up for help when you need to use something that uses electricity.
7. DO look up and look out for power lines before you climb a tree.
The electricity can go right through the tree branch - and right through you!
8. Put safety caps on all unused electrical outlets.
Covering outlets will also help save energy by stopping cold drafts.
9. Watch out for power lines when they're using a ladder, chainsaw or other outdoor equipment.
10. Keep electrical stuff far away from water.
Most electrical accidents around the house happen when people use electricity near water.
