The biggest challenge faced by the community is controlling and monitoring the performance of
built environment facilities in a sustainable way. From this dimension, effective use of Building
Management System (BMS) in the built environment is representing a significant strategy in
relation to economic, environment and social perspectives. Higher energy efficiency, lower
operating and maintenance costs, better indoor air quality, greater occupant comfort and
productivity are the major achievements of a successful BMS. Therefore, at present it is so evident
that, many organizations are enhtuastic to allocatea substantial investment, inorder to, install,
commissioning, operation and maintenance of BMS. However, to obtain the optimum use of BMS is
still challenging among the building users. Thus, the requirement of developing a framework for
functionality of BMS is essential in order to gain maximum benefits through operating building
automation and control systems.
The aim of the paper is to investigate the contribution of BMS in achieving a sustainable built
environment. The findings are achieved through conducting literature and documentary review
available in the built environment andanalyzing green building rating systems to find out the input
of BMS towards sustainable built envionemnt. Therfore, comparative study conducted between
LEED, BREEAM and GreenSLrating systems. Based on the findings, theoretical framework was
developed to facilitate contribution of BMS in sustainable development. Moreover, the paper is
engaged in analysisngthe credit contribution of BMS in order to gain the green rating certification.
