The document discusses key principles for the architecture of building management systems in office buildings. It advocates for a system that respects the physical structure of the building, with centralized control at the zone level. The system should integrate multiple applications like lighting, climate control, security, and energy management on a common IP network. This allows for interoperability, scalability, and easier evolution to an integrated building management solution. Zone-level modular design supports flexibility and control of different areas based on ambience and usage.
