🏗️ Building Energy & BMS Essentials
Free training for Building Energy & BMS Essentials with a signed certificate. Learn the modules, pass the 10-question exam, EN/FR/AR, no account.
Last updated: June 2026
Master how modern buildings consume, monitor and control energy — from HVAC, lighting and metering to Building Management Systems (BMS/BAS), control loops and protocols (BACnet, Modbus, KNX), the EN 15232/ISO 52120 control efficiency classes, measurement & verification, fault detection and the operator's daily role in cutting energy and carbon. The course is organized into 7 modules, ending with a final exam (pass mark 80%). It is free awareness-level training designed for anyone who needs a practical, working understanding of the topic.
What you'll learn
- How buildings use energy
- What is a BMS/BAS? Architecture & devices
- Control loops, set-points and sequences
- Communication protocols & integration
- Control efficiency classes — EN 15232 / ISO 52120
- Metering, monitoring & M&V (IPMVP)
- Fault detection, re-tuning & daily operation
Learning objectives
- Describe how energy is used in commercial buildings and the role of HVAC, lighting and plant
- Explain what a Building Management System (BMS/BAS) is, its architecture and field devices
- Read and tune basic control loops (sequences, set-points, PID, schedules, resets)
- Identify the main open protocols — BACnet, Modbus, KNX, LonWorks, MQTT
- Apply EN 15232 / ISO 52120 building automation control efficiency classes (A–D)
- Use metering, sub-metering and M&V (IPMVP) to verify savings
- Apply fault detection & diagnostics (FDD) and energy-saving operating practices
