Command Centers for Managing Your Building Operations

Managing a building means juggling a variety of information. From access control to fire detection to controlling comfort features such as temperature and lighting, there are many things that people who manage facilities need to keep in mind.

Building Operating Systems

Building Operating Systems (BOS) is an emerging technology trend for the management of large campuses. BOS quickly deploys applications and facilitates critical data exchange. A BOS includes an application programming interface (API) that allows operators to visualize data points, from real-time monitoring of building conditions to overseeing the deployment of solutions such as responding to maintenance requests.

Using a BOS standardizes communication between various systems and their equipment and allows for interoperability with other systems. It can also interface with the IoT and harness the potential of online services and data. With a BOS, important data is collected and analyzed automatically and in a simple-to-use format.

Implementing the insights from a building operating system not only assists in the maintenance and security of the building but also enables more efficient operation of your building’s everyday and critical processes.

Using BOS in a command center

Many buildings and corporate campuses already make use of command centers for security operations, especially after 9/11 when building managers increased security and implemented more technical features such as security cameras, programmable elevators, and turnstiles. But as the industry continues to shift and evolve, there are even more reasons now to implement a command center for your building management beyond just security.

The myriad applications of a building operating system, from equipment monitoring to access control, align well with the purpose of a command center. A command center for your connected building creates a centralized space to visualize and respond to alerts and incidents. The visualization capabilities of a BOS are best displayed on a large central video wall where all operators can see and collaborate upon it.

Command centers are focused spaces optimized for 24/7 use. The daily demands of building management, as well as unexpected critical incidents, can be monitored from a command center dedicated to providing situational awareness and empowering actionable insights.
