Building Management System (BMS) is a system designed to centralize, monitor, and control all technical equipment within a building: HVAC, lighting, energy metering, blinds, alarms, etc. A BMS collects real-time data to optimize energy performance, improve occupant comfort, and reduce operating costs. As a true cornerstone of Smart Buildings, a BMS enables intelligent and automated […]
BMS – What is a BMS used for?A Building Management System (BMS) is used to monitor, control, and optimize the operation of a building’s technical equipment. Through real-time data collection, it automatically adjusts heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and lighting settings. Its dual objective is to improve energy performance while ensuring occupant comfort. A BMS also facilitates anomaly detection, preventive maintenance, and […]
BMS – Is a BMS mandatory?Building Management Systems (BMS) are becoming progressively mandatory in certain commercial buildings under the BACS regulation (Building Automation & Control Systems). This regulation requires the installation of an automation and control system for buildings equipped with HVAC systems exceeding specific power thresholds. The objective is to improve energy performance and reduce CO₂ emissions. Implementing a […]
BMS – How do Nexelec solutions integrate into a Building Management System (BMS)?Nexelec solutions integrate seamlessly into a Building Management System (BMS) architecture by ensuring the collection, transmission, and operational use of field data. Nexelec sensors (CO₂, temperature, humidity, occupancy, light, etc.) continuously monitor key building parameters to support supervision and energy management. Data is transmitted via LoRaWAN to gateways such as MASTER or LINK, and can […]
BMS – How do Nexelec sensors contribute to the BACS regulation?The BACS regulation requires the installation of automation and control systems to optimize the energy performance of commercial buildings. Nexelec sensors contribute to compliance by providing reliable data on occupancy, indoor air quality (CO₂), temperature, and humidity. When combined with NAVIXIS supervision and integrated into a BMS via MASTER, they enable performance analysis, HVAC setpoint […]
BMS – Do Nexelec solutions enable multi-site supervision?Yes. Thanks to the NAVIXIS platform, multiple buildings can be monitored from a single interface. Facility managers can compare energy performance, track indoor air quality, and monitor equipment connectivity across their entire property portfolio. This centralized approach is particularly well suited for public authorities, branch networks, and multi-site commercial organizations.
BMS – How does Nexelec’s solution contribute to regulatory compliance (BACS, Tertiary Decree)?Data collected by our sensors and consolidated within our supervision platform enables precise, centralized, and continuous energy monitoring. Dashboards and automated reports simplify energy management, support compliance with regulatory requirements (BACS, Tertiary Decree), and provide clear visibility on the actions implemented to improve energy performance.
LINK – How can I view the collected data?The data is automatically transmitted to the NAVIXIS platform, which allows users to view equipment, monitor its status, receive alerts, and remotely control the network.
LINK – Do I need an Internet connection?No. LINK has a built-in secure 4G LTE connection with a SIM card, making it completely independent of the building’s internet network. An Ethernet connection is also possible if needed.
LINK – Is the data secure?Yes. The data collected by LINK is stored on secure servers for 3 years. Transmission is protected and monitoring is accessible only to authorized users.
LINK – Can LINK be installed outdoors?Yes. LINK has an IP67-rated waterproof enclosure that is resistant to weather and harsh environments. It can be installed both inside and outside the building.
MASTER – Does the gateway support multiple types of sensors?MASTER is compatible with a wide range of LoRaWAN radio equipment for air quality, energy, security, etc. The data is then converted into BACnet/IP points.
