BMS Graphics design course

Learn how to design best-in-class BMS graphics and stop giving away the visualisation of BMS data to cloud-technology companies

Take me to the Learning Management System

Welcome to the BMS Graphics design course

It surprises me that we will design the hardware components of the BMS (control panels, network, valves, etc.) but completely ignore the software design of the BMS (graphics, alarms, trends, and reports).

The graphics, alarms, trends, and reports are what the customer uses; it is what they can see with their eyeballs. You can have the best hardware design, but if your software design is average, then the client, the consultant, and the wider industry will think your BMS is average.

Our courses build on the product training provided by BMS companies to develop engineers into professionals who justify repeat work, earn higher fees, and drive business growth.

Self-paced online training course.
About 4.5 hours of video lessons.
One-off payment.
Lifetime access (for as long as the training business exists).

Yes, I'm in! Let's start

The easiest and fastest way to improve the brand of your company

We haven’t changed how we visualise BMS data that much in the past 20 years. Sure, the graphics look more beautiful; we have spinning fans, animated damper blades, and nicer colours, but that does not provide real value to anyone.

When you buy a car, you consider a lot of things, like power, fuel economy, and resale value, but ultimately, you buy a car that you like the look of. I have a 3.6L V6 2-door Jeep Wrangler. It is an extremely impractical car. It drinks a lot of petrol, is very noisy, and is quite expensive for what it is. But I like the look of it, lol.

You can win BMS upgrade projects and retain BMS maintenance contracts if you have best-in-class BMS visualisation. A product that provides value to the people who use it.

“Do you know why the lowest price wins? Because we do not give clients and consultants any other metric to measure us by. Stop moaning about losing a project to the lowest price and actively do something to create an advantage over the other tenderers. Enhancing how you visualise data is the easiest way to impress the client”

That makes sense! Take me to the course!

“Start winning work by providing a premium product. This is what I do in my BMS consulting business. I am a one-person business, but I charge the same fees as global, tier-1, all-services consultancies. Because I provide a higher-quality BMS upgrade consulting product”

Bryce Anderson

For the first 15 years of my career (1998-2013), I worked for BMS companies (2 years in South Africa, 9 years in London, and 4 years in Australia). For the next +10 years (from 2014 onwards), I have worked as a BMS specialist consultant. I originally studied electronic engineering, specialising in process instrumentation and controls.

In my consulting business (80% of my working week), I am designing (writing specifications), reviewing BMS contractor technical submissions, witnessing and signing off BMS projects from all major BMS systems and a wide range of different BMS companies, from global tier-1 manufacturers to smaller system integrators.

This puts me in a unique situation where I have visibility into what everyone is doing. The experience I share in the membership is made up from my own personal 15 years designing BMS systems, writing software code, commissioning, service and project management (across 3 different regions), plus the best parts of what the industry is providing.

This exposure to the wider industry allows me to provide customised training courses that not only teach the technical side of the BMS but also address current real-life issues and constraints in the Building Management System industry.

I am not just teaching you what I learned, but the best of what everyone else is doing.

Testimonials

"I believe Bryce to be one of the best thinkers in our industry. His approach comes from years of hands-on experience and accumulated industry knowledge. It appeals to me because it makes sense and works on a practical level. I have found myself rethinking how we do things because of his content. I think the BMS membership is worthwhile and very valuable."

Kent Flowers - President
"This BMS membership is incredibly valuable and helped me improve the quality of the BMS design by incorporating ideas shared by Bryce. Bryce doesn't only teach technical concepts but he encourages you to think about how you can improve the quality and efficiency of what you are doing. He is doing a great job by sharing his experience which surely will help to shorten the learning curve of anyone in the field."

Abdul Rehman Zafar - Controls Engineer
"I signed up for the BMS membership this year to dive deeper into the topics Bryce is passionate about as well as areas like networking that are more technical. Working for a developer/operator, I oversee the tender design and then the BMS contractors submissions, delivery and operation during DLP. The suggestions and advice will in my opinion help all parties come together to achieve better outcomes. I think there is great content in the BMS membership that can help BMS contractors deliver better outcomes more efficiently and impress the contractors and building owners they are working for."

Olly Base - Senior Services Design Manager
"Bryce’s BMS Membership and learning platform is a great space for both newcomers and experienced BMS professionals. Each month is a new set of topics that have been thought provoking and provide new insights into how things can be achieved within our profession."

Ryan Joyce - Senior Project Engineer

Do not leave your career up to your employer

Some people believe their company should pay for their training and allocate time during the working day to do the courses. Let’s unpack this for a minute.
Your company is already paying for your salary, leave pay, sick pay, laptop, mobile phone, car, uniform, and other benefits. They also have other overheads, like office rent, utilities, insurance, administration staff, etc. They pay for other types of non-technical training (health and safety, etc.), AND they pay for product training (5-day programming course, etc.).
I think that is enough. Why should they also pay for your personal professional development? Company managers, feel that you should contribute to your own personal growth, invest in your own career, and I agree.
We work for money. To buy nice things. To live in a nice house. To have nice holidays. It’s up to us, it’s up to YOU, to invest in YOUR career. Why on earth would your employer invest extra time and money, over and above what they are already investing in you, so that you can double your salary? YOU need to invest in your career to double your salary.

I am ready to invest in my career! Take me to the course

What this course is NOT

This is NOT a software programming course. You need to take programming courses provided by the manufacturer of the products your company uses. There are many different BMS systems worldwide, and more are entering the market each year. It is impractical for me to try to teach you how to code in 20 different languages and keep up with updates, new revisions, firmware, and features. (I was only trained on about 4 products when I was on the tools).
I will teach you how to design the chiller control system, how to visualise data, and develop new products and solutions to real-world problems (what we currently offer is embarrassing), but I am not going to teach you how to convert the design you learn from me into software code. Believe me, the coding part is the easy part.
This course is not associated with any BMS product or company.

Yep, that makes sense. Let's get into it!
