Building Automation System (BAS)

Building Automation System (BAS): An automated system designed to reduce the costs and optimize the efficiency of building operations. BAS utilizes multiple sensors, software algorithms, and actuators such as valves and motors to monitor and control different aspects of a building’s infrastructure, such as energy efficiency, air quality, temperature, security, and safety. With BAS, buildings can proactively respond to changing conditions while creating a better overall environment for occupants.
