What are building automation systems?
Building automation systems are used to control constructions, heating, ventilation and security. This type of computer system has become increasingly popular because the technology has progressed. These systems are essential for efficient control and support of comprehensive computer systems used in modern buildings.
Implementation of building automation systems changes the overall efficiency of buildings. This type of system is relatively expensive and is usually installed as part of the original design or during a renovation of an existing building. These systems are found in office complexes or production facilities and are necessary for large premises and are generally not optimal for office buildings for residential or medium.
Control and monitoring access to the building is a huge aspect of building automation systems. The system operator can create user profiles that control access to different areas of the building and even reduce access to specific hours. The entrepreneurs are obliged to useVAT of the unique identification card, code or other method to obtain access to the building and these identifiers are managed by the building operator.
Heating and air -conditioning large spaces are very complex and can be controlled by automation systems, instead of a number of separate systems. Thermostats are located in different areas of the device and all data are entered into the system. The information is displayed to the system operator that can adjust the air flow and settings to ensure that the temperature is correct.
Security software is built into most buildings automation systems with contact sensors, cameras, and data recording tools used to provide the required information to employees. The process of integrating software into buildings automation systems can be quite complex and often requires cooperation of the Experts team.
There are several large companies that offerBuilding automation systems. This type of system is very expensive to buy, installation and operation. During the selection process, it is advisable to write all the functions that the system should have. This list should be for at least three different companies and one should get written offers for the purchase, installation and maintenance of this type of system.
The growing number of service companies offers maintenance contracts for building automation systems. In many cases, the cost of this type of service is significantly lower than the service status contract from the equipment provider. One should examine all options before signing the contract on the level of the contract or service. The contract itself should include a guaranteed response time, exempted items and primary contact.
