Building automation system integration capabilities
What capabilities and building systems can you integrate into a building automation system?
Today, if your BAS uses a standards-based SCADA platform, the answer is just about whatever you want.
Possibilities include:
- Real time status of your buildings
- Coordinated control of systems
- Reduced energy use
- Reduced environmental impact
- Improved user comfort
- Improved security
- Maintaining historical data and reporting to detect trends
A well-engineered building automation system also improves the efficiency of managing your facilities.
BAS integration your way
Controls within buildings—for access, HVAC, lighting, fire and more—are more capable of being integrated in a central building automation system.
Building automation systems are also more capable and flexible. A BAS built on a SCADA platform can be tailored to your requirements.
You get real-time monitoring and control where it does you the most good. Your solution will matched your operations and
requirements while allowing room to adapt and grow. It can be implemented in phases or all at once as in greenfield sites.
Keys to a successful BAS
The keys to a successful building automation solution include:
- Integration of all dissimilar systems in your buildings
- Real time monitoring and control
- Reliability
