Building Automation systems

Means building automation systems incorporating automated technical management of the facilities of buildings for industrial or tertiary, with the goal of reducing energy consumption and improve comfort and security. The building automation not only allows the automatic control but also the monitoring of the various services and equipment of a building to monitor and control the states and/or alarm systems, in order to act accordingly. The benefits that can make installing a building automation system in a building include the following:

 

¤ Significant savings in energy costs and operating expenses.

¤ Monitoring and control of the building from a checkpoint.

¤ Improved comfort and safety of the building. ¤ facilitates the work of maintenance personnel, thanks to technical notices and information it provides.

¤ Access control and integration of alarm systems make more efficient the work of security personnel.  

 

Efficient lighting

Scheduling a shutdown of lighting in offices outside working hours.

Conditioning the lighting on little-traveled corridors on the basis of presence detection. Even adjusting the light intensity on less than 100%.

Conditioning the lighting of the illumination areas, based on a threshold of light intensity outside.

Building exterior lighting should be acting on the window curtains.

 

Eficient air conditioning

Scheduling a shutdown or low power mode of the HVAC system in offices outside working hours could reduce unwanted consumption (carelessness).

Setting maximum and minimum levels of comfort temperature regulated automatically by thermostats, could achieve more responsible consumption.

Taking advantage of the natural heat of the sun in winter, by uploading automatic blinds on the windows, you could save on heating consumption. Similarly, in summer you could automatically lower the curtains to save on air conditioning consumption.

 

Efficient management of irrigation of green areas

Scheduling irrigation to areas more appropriate times of day and only during the period of time.

Disabling automatic watering when it detects that it is raining, to save on water consumption.

 

Monitoring and management of technical alarms

Integrating different sensors for the alarm in the central building automation system, could provide warnings to security personnel of the building while automatic action is taken to mitigate the consequences of an accident.

 

Access Control

Certain areas of a building may require restricted access. With an access control system using card readers or keypads or proximity or even video-porters., It could prevent access to these areas by unauthorized personnel.
