Define BAS System ?

Building Automation Systems (BAS) are centralized, interlinked, networks of hardware and software, which monitor and control the environment in commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. While managing various building systems, the automation system ensures the operational performance of the facility as well as the comfort and safety of building occupants.
Typically, such control systems are installed in new buildings or as part of a renovation where they replace an outdated control system.

What does BAS look like ?

Most of the automation system is behind the scenes as hardware devices mounted to equipment or hidden underfloor or in the ceiling. Some personalized control can be made available through thermostat-like devices. From a central management perspective, the BAS resides as software on an operator workstation (computer) or is available as a web page.

Various types of "controllers" manage equipment and portions of the network. "Sensors" provide input data to the controllers.
BAS Latest Trends

When the subject is intelligent buildings, you know that things don't stand still. Here are a few trends influencing building automation:

  • Wireless technology is beginning to replace traditionally wired BAS infrastructure. Thus far, however, the wireless technology is limited to sensor-type devices and suffers from issues including a lack of clear wireless standard, short battery life, and communication challenges through various types of building structures and materials.
  • Enterprise-level initiatives are making the communication protocol of the BAS less important.
  • While it is quite common to replace a pneumatic control system with a direct digital control (DDC) system, pneumatic-to-DDC bridging strategies also exist.
  • More controls are coming to the construction site, factory pre-mounted to equipment.
  • Hardware and software continues to be augmented by energy-related visuals.
  • There has been tremendous consolidation among BAS manufacturers, leaving relatively few independent players (such as KMC Controls).
