Title: Building Automation Systems (BAS) Fundamentals
Course: WGF 105 DEVELOPMENT > Section: Content

Content | In Lesson 1, we investigated building controls, with a focus on lighting controls to support energy efficiency. Now in Lesson 2 we explore essential fundamentals of building automation systems. Such process will lead us into further economy and efficiency through building commissioning. Building automation is the goal that a Building Management System or a (more recent terminology) Building Automation System (BAS) attempts to achieve. Both are examples of a distributed control system - the computer networking of electronic devices designed to monitor and control the mechanical, security, fire and flood safety, lighting (especially emergency lighting), HVAC and humidity control and ventilation systems in a building.^[1]
