Building automation (BAS)
The BAS (Building Automation System) is responsible for the detailed automation of the building's systems - primarily HVAC, heating, cooling and selected sanitary and process systems. In practice, it is the control layer that takes care of the comfort of the users and the efficient operation of the equipment on a daily basis.
We use controllers and automation modules that are installed in air handling unit switchboards, heat substations, cooling machine rooms, zone cabinets and lighting cabinets. The BAS works directly with the BMS, transmitting all measurement data, operating states, alarms and energy consumption levels to it.
Scope of BAS automation:
- control of air handling units (temperature control, humidity control, pressures, heat recovery, free cooling, anti-freeze protection),
- automation of fan coil units, chilled beams, VRF/SPLIT systems, precision air conditioning cabinets, floor heating/cooling, heating/ventilation apparatus, air curtains and heating cables,
- automatics of heat substation, cooling machine room, geothermal installation, hot water superheating, glycol refilling station,
- monitoring of sanitary installations (pumping stations, hydrophores, leak detection, safety showers, hydrants).
- monitoring of electrical switchgear operation - switch states, protection, fault and trip signals,
- integration with UPS, generators, ATS and guaranteed power supply systems,
- monitoring of central emergency lighting batteries, power buses and selected switchgear bays,
- data acquisition from energy meters and power quality analysers (voltages, currents, powers, THD) for BMS/EMS,
Why it's worth it:
- stable environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, air quality) in each zone,
- longer equipment life due to operation under optimal conditions,
- possibility to quickly change operating scenarios (comfort/eco mode, schedules, night mode),
- full integration with the overarching BMS.
