Life Safety & Security Systems: The Interoperability Challenge

Building automation holds the promise of enhanced security and streamlined operations through centralized management and intelligent coordination across various systems. However, many buildings face a significant hurdle: legacy security infrastructure. Often, essential systems like access control,...

The Language of Buildings: Exploring Smart BAS Standards and Protocols

Building Automation Systems (BAS) have transformed the way we manage buildings. These systems control and optimize various aspects like HVAC, lighting, security, and access control. However, for these disparate components to communicate and function cohesively, a common language is essential. This...

Securing the Future: BAS and the Growing Threat Landscape

Building Automation Systems (BAS) have become the backbone of modern building management. Beyond their core function of controlling HVAC, lighting, and other systems, BAS collect and analyze vast amounts of data, creating a complex network of interconnected devices. However, this increased...

Wireless Sensor Networks and the Impact on HVAC Monitoring

Traditional building automation systems have often relied on a relatively sparse network of wired sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, and perhaps a few other basic parameters. Wireless sensor networks are disrupting this model, enabling the deployment of far denser arrays of sensors,...

FAQ: The Lowdown on LED Lighting

Answering 10 frequently asked questions BY MICHAEL SCHRATZ, Dialight Light emitting diode (LED) lighting solutions have gained significant attraction over the past few years as a safer, more efficient and more cost-effective alternative to traditional high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting sources...

Optimizing User Behavior for BAS-Driven Energy Management

Building Automation Systems (BAS) offer a powerful tool for optimizing energy consumption in buildings. However, achieving maximum energy savings often hinges on a factor beyond the control of BAS systems themselves: occupant behavior. This article explores the challenges associated with occupant behavior impacting energy management goals and delves into strategies for promoting user engagement in energy-efficient practices within BAS environments. The role of user interfaces (UIs) and feedback mechanisms will be examined as crucial tools...
