The BMS
Today we received instructions about the BMS. I wondered what the man was referring to but apparently it is the Building Management System. Basically we learnt about how the security, access, heating, lighting and ventilation systems work. A lot of it is technical and technological, with computer systems operating it. For example, in some rooms there are motion sensors and the lights come on automatically for a set period of time. There are also air sensors and some of the windows open automatically to let fresh air in. At six pm some of the external doors lock automatically. But is seems that the library is the one space that is not automated - it still requires a human to lock doors, open windows and turn the lights on and off!

Funny! I love it when you're in a new job and you start to hear all the jargon and abbreviations that everyone else knows the meaning of. It happened to me when I started working part time at the library and went on a council orientation day. I had to be very brave to ask because I couldn't understand very much of what they were saying. It was a bit like a different language. (Good story idea?)
