What is Building Automation Systems (BAS)?

Building Automation Systems (BAS) are control systems that manage and monitor a building's mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, such as HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), lighting, power systems, fire and security systems. They are commonly used to improve energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and overall building operations by automating processes like temperature control, lighting schedules, and equipment maintenance, and by providing real-time data and analytics for performance monitoring and optimization.
