BMS Controls Glossary

Bas Tools

A BAS (Building Automation System) is a computer-based system that controls and monitors the mechanical, electrical, and lighting systems in a building. It is used to automate the operation of the building, making it more efficient and cost-effective. BAS systems are used in a variety of settings, including commercial, industrial, and residential buildings. The main components of a BAS system include sensors, controllers, and actuators. Sensors detect changes in the environment, such as temperature, humidity, and motion. Controllers process the data from the sensors and use it to make decisions about how to control the building systems. Actuators are devices that carry out the commands from the controllers, such as opening and closing valves, turning on and off lights, and adjusting the temperature. A BAS system can be used to control a variety of systems, including HVAC, lighting, security, and energy management. It can also be used to monitor the building’s energy usage and identify areas where energy can be saved. By automating the building’s systems, a BAS system can help reduce energy costs and improve the comfort and safety of the occupants.
