Increasing energy consumption, finite energy resources, negative effects of excessive use of energy on environment, and increasing energy price forces administrators and consumers to look for different ways of saving and accurate consumption. Implementing smart systems and managing energy consumption in buildings are examples of applying modern technology. Implementing this technology not only reduces energy consumption, but also provides appropriate situation and increase the welfare of residents. This research studies the concept of Building Management System (BMS) in construction industry, especially reviews some communicative protocols in building management system, and after comparing and analyzing them, proposes X-10 protocol in home automation from cost, time consuming and simplicity of installation aspects.
