Keys To Setting Up Building Automation Systems

Business Blog

There are systems companies can invest in to control different things under one platform, including lighting, security, and ventilation. These systems are classified as building automation systems, and they make managing different aspects of a building a lot more convenient. You just need to make sure that the installation is executed correctly after selecting one of these systems.   

Hire an Operating Engineer to Fine-Tune the System

After your building automation system is set up, it has to be fine-tuned to ensure all parts of your building relying on this system are working perfectly. You want to hire an operating engineer specifically for this fine-tuning process.

You'll then have a thorough assessment performed that can help you work past possible obstacles that might be present post-installation. An operating engineer accustomed to your selected BAS (building automation system) can make the proper adjustments needed to help this system work at full capacity from the beginning.

Spend Time Learning the Software

Every BAS will have software that lets you control different areas of your building in a refined way. You want all relevant operators to know how to use this software so that when they adjust things like the HVAC or ventilation of your building, they can have success immediately.

Have operators go through training that specifically teaches on the chosen software that's being included with your building automation system. Then they'll learn things like software capabilities, ways to customize it, and how to get to certain areas fast. This education will pay off for operators in control of BAS software. 

Make Sure Remote Access and Monitoring Are Available

In order to get more out of a BAS system and use it more conveniently throughout the day, you want to make sure there are controls equipped during installation that give you remote access and monitoring.

Then you won't have to be directly inside the building to control different systems like security and heating. You'll connect to the internet and then have total command of how your BAS system works. Remote monitoring lets you make changes to the BAS system a lot quicker, which may be needed during emergency scenarios.

Buildings that have automated control systems are able to function a lot better and in a more convenient way. You'll just need to make sure your BAS is set up correctly because then you can get great performance from it early on. Talk to a technician to learn more.
