BMS_Cost. A BAS system will have a capital cost of USD 100 to 150 per
sensor or control point and usually contribute 15% to 20% of the total HVAC cost.
The payback period is usually 2 to 4 years but it is recommended to check the economics that is unique to each project.
The BAS does not guarantee saving its own. The mechanical and electrical system need to be equipped with design features that introduce overall efficiency and safety
The saving is largely depend on the operators skill, duty hours and the energy cost.
Operating cost
It is necessary to decrease energy cost without discomfort to the user
Is it possible with a DDC?
Load shedding
Optimum start/stop
Reduction of speeds
Tight shut off of building(Lead to Sick building syndrome, Looses productivity and human health)

Case Study 1
1,700,000 kWh per month
(1,700,000kWh/111,483m2)x12=182 kWh/m2 per year
Case study 2
600,000 kWh per month
(600000kWh/40000m2) x 12 = 180 kWh/m2 per year
