Abstract
The adoption and integration of renewable energy sources with building management systems (BMS) present a pivotal strategy in addressing the growing concerns related to energy use in the built environment. As urbanization intensifies and the demand for energy increases, buildings emerge as critical nodes of consumption, accounting for approximately 40% of global energy usage. The imperative for sustainability calls for a shift from conventional energy practices toward systems that prioritize renewable sources, such as solar, wind, and geothermal power. These technologies, when synergized with BMS, hold the potential to revolutionize buildings from passive energy consumers to active, efficient agents of energy management. Through the lens of sustainable development, this integration is not merely an environmental imperative but also a socioeconomic opportunity, promising reduced operational costs, increased energy resilience, and alignment with global carbon reduction targets.
