Did you know a building automation system allows building related equipment to be centrally monitored, adjusted and controlled? Building automation systems take in analog and digital information from sensors, make decisions based on time of day and desired setpoints, and send commands to controllers and actuators. Centralized programming and control optimize building energy usage and occupant comfort. This interactive online course covers how maximum use of the various components of a BAS system can produce cost saving opportunities for your facility.

The following key questions are answered in this module:
What is a Building Automation System (BAS)? A Building Automation System (BAS) is the technology that allows facility managers, maintenance technicians, and technical operators to control, monitor and adjust building-related equipment.
What is the purpose of a Direct Digital Control (DDC) unit? The DDC provides the operator the capability of configuring and/or controlling the unit locally, rather than remotely.
What is the purpose of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system? The SCADA system provides the operator with the capability to control equipment remotely from a central room where other equipment is also being controlled, and data can be queried and processed for maintenance and troubleshooting purposes.
How is Time of Day (TOD) scheduling used with BAS systems? TOD scheduling provides on/off times for equipment, which allows the BAS to operate the equipment at specific times of day and at its most optimal conditions.
What are the two types of connection configurations in a typical system? The two types of connection configurations in a typical system are the series connection and the parallel connection.
