Abstract: Cities are confronted with never-before-seen issues pertaining to resource management, energy consumption, and environmental sustainability as global urbanization picks up speed. As a result, integrating intelligent building systems has become a game-changing way to deal with these urgent problems. The present study delves into the various components that make up intelligent building management systems, including HVAC control, computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), building management system/building automation system (BMS/BAS), data analytics and reporting, and remote monitoring and management (RMM). To maximize building performance, increase energy efficiency, and guarantee occupant comfort, each of these elements is essential. Real-time monitoring of building systems and equipment is made possible by remote monitoring and management, or RMM. This enables preventive maintenance and troubleshooting to cut down on downtime and save energy. By using big data to find patterns, trends, and anomalies, data analytics and reporting enable building operators to make data-driven decisions that maximize energy use and operational effectiveness. The core of intelligent building management is the Building Management System/Building Automation System (BMS/BAS), which integrates many subsystems like HVAC, lighting, security, and access control to optimize resource use and streamline operations. Controlling the indoor climate to maintain occupant comfort while consuming the least amount of energy is very important for HVAC systems.
