4. introduction
Bresaer Building Energy Management System (BEMS) integrates a Graphical User Interface (GUI), which implements the Human-Machine Interaction. Despite the fact that the approach of this GUI is user-friendly, this document contains a users’ guide in order to support any users who want to browse through the GUI. The main features of this GUI is that provides access to the information concerning the monitoring of the building and gives the possibility of handling the facilities in manual mode using just a simple screen. Taking into account that one of the first issues addressed in this document is the explanation about the screens that can be accessed by each role, then the part of the document concerning the use of the BEMS will be organized attending to the screens, not the roles (because screens that can be accessed by each role have been already explained).
