Business Is My Business

If you are having a new building built for your company, you should consider installing a building automation system. Below is information on what this is, as well as some benefits of choosing to do this.

Building Automation System

A building automation system (BAS) is used to monitor and control different systems within your company. For example, the system can monitor and control your HVAC unit, air conditioning, security, mechanical, and lighting. 

This system must be installed by a professional as the installation process is very detailed. For example, the company you hire to install the system will need to install servers and then install the software that is used for the system on the servers. Several other pieces of equipment will be set up and installed for everything to communicate with each other. 

Benefits of a BAS System

There are many benefits of choosing to install a BAS system for your building. One of the main benefits is this can save you money, The BAS system can control your HVAC unit so that it runs efficiently. It can reset the temperature setting at night and then reset it again in the morning. This way your system will not run all night and you and your employees will be comfortable when you walk into the building each day. 

The BAS system can also be set up to control the lighting for your building. You can set up a lighting schedule, such as setting the lights to come on at a certain time each morning and turn off at a certain time each night. The system can also control motion detector lights that you may want to install outside for security purposes.

The system can turn on irrigation systems for your landscaping if you have this installed. This can save you money as the system would not run as long as it would if it was running manually. 

You can use the system to keep your employees comfortable. This is because you can set individual room temperatures. The indoor air quality will be much better as the system can monitor humidity levels inside your building. These systems can also detect carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. These systems come with controllers that can give you smoke control if you have a fire inside your building. If you use dampers for your ventilation the system can control this for you.
