Customers can take advantage of the benefits of building automation system (BAS), including a decrease in operating costs and an increase in energy efficiency and security. A BAS allows your customers to monitor, control and troubleshoot via the internet, reducing service calls. Furthermore, buildings that include smart metering as part of their building automation system can confirm their energy usage for regulatory agencies. This opens the door to ENERGY STAR, Tenant Star or LEED certifications.
Let’s look at the benefits of a BAS for your building.
Improved energy efficiency
Monitoring building occupancy and having the building automation system adjust heating, cooling and ventilation use results in a 10-30 percent savings, according to the U. S. Department of Energy. Reductions in peak load use reduce utility costs even further.
Improved indoor air quality
Improved indoor air quality boosts worker productivity and reduces sick days. Employees in well-ventilated buildings score higher on cognitive function tests and have 30 percent fewer sick days. Employees are more productive when they are comfortable.
Less maintenance cost
When controlled by a building automation system, a building’s infrastructure tends to experience less wear and tear and require less repairs, not to mention equipment life is extended.
Better security
BAS allows you to keep transient traffic out of your building. The building automation system can monitor what is happening within your building, provide alerts of suspicious activity and have the doors lock and unlock at specified times.
