Become a BMS Expert: Enroll in IIPD's Comprehensive DBMS Course Today!

Today's buildings are equipped with numerous systems and devices to ensure the comfort and safety of their occupants. A Building Management System (BMS), also known as a Building Automation and Control System (BACS), integrates and oversees all these systems. This includes electrical, HVAC, plumbing, lighting controls, CCTV and security, life safety systems, renewable energy sources, and utility meters for electricity and gas.

Our DBMS course is a comprehensive flagship program that covers all essential aspects of BMS. It is designed for both current BMS engineers and those aspiring to enter the field, providing extensive knowledge and practical skills. Participants will learn about integrating and managing BMS systems, including CCTV and security, power, PLC, VFD, control panels, and the programming and design of BMS controllers.

The entire Diploma course of 174 hours is divided into six inter-connected courses.
