Building Automation
For over 30 years, Buxton & Dawe has been engineering, designing, testing, installing, and maintaining communication networks. Building Automation Systems (BAS) is an area we specialize in. Building automation includes integrating various systems within a building, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, security, and other systems. Building automation systems can be programmed to respond to changing conditions, such as occupancy levels or outdoor temperature, to ensure that the building operates efficiently and effectively. Automating these systems helps reduce energy consumption, improve occupant comfort, and enhance overall building performance.
Today’s building automation systems are quickly migrating to an internet-based management platform utilizing both wired and wireless Ethernet technologies.
Building automation is important for several reasons:
- Energy efficiency: Building automation can optimize energy usage and reduce utility costs.
- Maintenance and monitoring: Automated systems can detect issues early, allowing for proactive maintenance and reducing downtime.
- Safety and security: Integration of security systems with building automation enhances safety measures and provides real-time monitoring of building conditions.
- Sustainability: Building automation plays a crucial role in achieving sustainability goals by reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint.
