What Is HVAC Building Automation?
Building automation systems, also known as BAS, give property owners centralized control of their HVAC, security, electricity, water systems, and more. These applied controls allow users to easily access and operate the building’s systems, boosting performance while lowering costs and energy consumption. These digital controls alleviate building owners’ workload and give them straightforward accessibility to their facility’s operations.
What Are the Advantages of Installing Building Automation Systems During the Design-Build Process?
Building automation allows users to set it and forget it; with its interface, users can select their desired configurations and the system does the rest. For example, if building owners want to lower the temperature at night and increase it in the morning, they can pre-set climate controls accordingly.
HVAC industry professionals encourage facility managers and property owners to consider automation design and installation in advance. A BAS provides more than a centralized location to digitally control building operations. Some additional advantages include:
Cost Effectiveness
Business owners can attest to the countless expenses associated with running a company. It’s wise to take advantage of every legitimate cost-saving opportunity there is. Investing in BAS is an easy way to save money later down the road and put it toward other business ventures.
Instead of trying to integrate the system later, BAS connectivity can be bundled with HVAC design-build upfront. When the system is connected and personalized during the design-build process, it keeps property owners from paying for upgrades in the future.
Energy Conservation
Commercial energy audits identify whether your system needs improvement and what areas are causing the most problems. Frequent manual manipulation, forgetting to turn systems on and off, and other improper use results in system inefficiencies.
On the other hand, building automation systems adapt to your building and accommodate its requirements. The automatic controls will adjust your heating and cooling systems according to occupancy. Building automation also incorporates motion sensors that control the temperatures and lighting of each room.
Preparedness for Future Technology
Technology and HVAC are constantly evolving, so it’s best to ensure your building is equipped with the latest and greatest functionalities. It’s a hassle to integrate new technologies into dated systems—not to mention costly. Instead of waiting to hop on board with smart technology, you can benefit from it as soon as your project is complete.
Increased Property Value
If you plan on relocating and selling your property, buyers are likely to spend more money on a building with advanced technology. Commercial HVAC design-build has many moving parts. If you’ve made it easier for the next owners to access and control building systems, you can justifiably increase your asking price, since this isn’t a separate expense they’ll be responsible for in the future.
Set Your Company Up for Success With Building Automation
You start your company on the right track when you incorporate BAS in advance instead of waiting until later. Every aspect of your business contributes to your bottom line. Your budget, energy habits, and productivity all count toward your overall success. For these reasons, high-functioning building automation enables you to reach new heights and exceed your business objectives.
