Agenda: Building Automation Systems, or simply BAS are utilized in many forms for schools, office buildings, commercial buildings, warehouses, and light manufacturing. These systems monitor and control the equipment that maintain environments—temperature, humidity, air changes, pressurization, and sometimes fire alarm and security systems. Data collected by the building control systems can be utilized to reduce unnecessary energy costs and proactively monitor the HVAC equipment for faults and degradation. Buildng Automation Systems manufacturers are plentiful and offer different platforms. Some are proprietary, meaning you have a single vendor that can provide parts, service, and support thus limiting flexibility and options. Others are non-proprietary, which gives the owner the flexibility and freedom of choosing what vendor provides the most value.
