A Smart Building Automation System Makes Business Sense
In today's commercial world, we are always looking for solutions to become more streamlined, save time, and become more productive; smart buildings are the next step in this evolution. A Building Automation System (BAS) is a network designed to connect and automate a wide range of functions within one or multiple buildings, providing intelligent building controls for every facility.
A Johnson Controls BAS can connect all of your building’s control systems, from lighting and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) to fire and security systems, and wayfinding and space booking, through a single set of controls powered by Internet of Things technology, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Building automation systems enable your business to optimise energy efficiency and provide an inclusive, safe, and comfortable environment for your staff.
The Benefits Of A Building Automation System
Key benefits of installing a quality BAS include:
- Workplace comfort: A key driving factor for staff retention and talent acquisition; to invest in smart technology that creates the ultimate intuitive and efficient building makes good business sense. BAS can control lighting, temperature, and indoor air quality automatically, tailored to the needs of your staff and balanced with your business need to keep control of energy costs.
- Energy efficiency: An automation system can detect when rooms are unoccupied so that lights and heating, or air conditioning can be automatically switched off, and doors and windows closed and locked. It can also alert maintenance teams to when communal areas are not being used and need attending to.
The Carbon Trust states around 20 per cent of the annual energy costs of a business are wasted due to energy inefficient equipment, and this type of waste contributes to climate change. Johnson Controls make automation systems and components for commercial refrigeration equipment as well as a full line of HVAC equipment for the ultimate building control automation system.
- Improved security: The safety of your building and its occupants is of the utmost importance, and an effective security access control system serves as the first line of defence for your business's security.
Johnson Controls offers a diverse range of trusted industry brands, providing comprehensive commercial security solutions tailored to establishments of any size and type. This includes physical access control systems that can easily be integrated with electronic access control hardware which can be hosted in the cloud, as well as a complete range of intrusion security solutions, from detectors to signalling devices.
Every security automation system can be integrated within a complete building management system (BMS) and monitored from any approved device, at any time, in real-time, to quickly identify and rectify security breaches.
