Article Abstract:
The advancements achieved in the field of building management system technologies have culminated in a setup that integrates all building systems and equipment.

In 1987, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, formed a committee which established a standard protocol which resulted in the integration of building systems and equipment.
