Owners of commercial and industrial buildings often have questions about Building Automation Systems and the benefits that they can bring. Is it worth installing this type of system in your own building? Is it worth the cost? We can’t answer that question for you, but we can point out several ways that these systems make sense for your building.
A Building Automation Systems facilitates control over HVAC, electrical, and security systems. By allowing custom control of these systems, installing a building automation system can benefit you in meeting your building goals.
Lower Your Energy Costs
A building automation system (BAS) helps to make HVAC and electrical systems run more efficiently. This in turn reduces your energy use and lowers utility costs. The sensors and timers that operate the system allow automated control and collect system data to troubleshoot and identify where further improvement is possible.
Automatic adjustments to temperature or lighting levels can be achieved with a BAS. Workers and customers alike will enjoy an optimal environment. Employee productivity also has the potential to increase as workers due to increased comfort. Disruptions are minimized also, as the system itself monitors itself.
A facility’s systems can be costly, but with a BAS maximum efficiency is the goal along with decreased utility costs. This can be attributed to the system’s ability to lessen breakdowns or system failures.
Peace of mind is of the utmost importance and a BAS that is connected to a building’s security system can monitor and control all aspects. Real-time monitoring is with alerts being sent if suspicious activity is noted. In addition, remote locking and unlocking of the building is possible.
