How are building management systems relevant to PropTech 2.0?

Building management systems (BMS) epitomize PropTech 2.0 by automating and optimizing core building operations:

• HVAC Control: Adjusts temperatures and ventilation in real time to lower energy costs.
• Lighting Management: Schedules lighting usage and uses sensors for occupancy-based activation.
• Security Integration: Links CCTV, access control systems, and alarms to a centralized dashboard.

BMS leverages IoT and cloud connectivity to gather data, enabling property managers to diagnose inefficiencies, reduce manual labor, and ensure occupant comfort. This laid the foundation for more intelligent automation seen in PropTech 3.0.
