Building Automation System (BAS)
Building Automation System (BAS)
A Building Automation System (BAS) is a computerized system that regulates the temperature, lighting, ventilation, and other environmental conditions in a commercial or industrial facility. The system may also control security systems, fire alarms, and elevators. A BAS typically consists of controllers, sensors, actuators, and software that communicate with each other to maintain optimal conditions in the building.
The benefits of a BAS include improved energy efficiency, increased comfort for occupants, and reduced operating costs. A well-designed and properly functioning BAS can help a building achieve LEED certification.
