Yes, watching BMS is significantly better than being an HVAC engineer

Yeah I think BMS could be great for you. A lot of what you already know should carry over, you’ll just have to get used to the controls side of things and learning how everything talks to each other.

I’d definitely get familiar with things like BACnet, sensors, actuators, PLCs and basic controls. Also make sure you’re comfortable with preventative maintenance. Oil changes are pretty important and you’ll probably run into some systems that need a little more attention than others.

Summer can be a little rough too. You may have to deal with ice rods from time to time when things start getting hot, although usually it’s nothing too complicated.

This is special teams. We like to play hard, we like to party hard. We also like to triple team chicks, that's European style. Don't worry, our dicks will never touch.
