An Introduction to Building Automation Systems
Can you really make a Building Smarter? Absolutely!
With Intelligent Building Automation Systems, you can
keep occupants comfortable, manage energy conserva-
tion measures, identify key operational problems and an-
alyze the results.
During the presentation, we will review some key con-
cepts including:
Understanding the basic concept of a building automation system (BAS)
Understanding the value of both conservation and occupant comfort/safety
Understanding the basic concepts of controlling equipment versus systems
Understanding the value of data and data visualization
Understanding the basic concepts of analytics as they pertain to today’s BAS and buildings
This will show how a Building Automation System works to create an energy efficient, comfortable, smart
facility.
