Building Automation Systems Offer Comfort, Efficiency, and Security

摘要

In a session at the 2021 Controls-Con, presented by Cochrane Supply, Jim Young, founder and CEO of Realcomm, presented a bold vision of the future: a built environment that has been fully digitized. The building automation trends that many expected to take 20-30 years have sped up dramatically as a result of the pandemic, helping to realize Young's vision of the future. People are rethinking how much space they need and whether that space will be used in the same way as before. In addition, digital technology will reach into nearly every aspect of the building: for example,hotel rooms that automatically reduce (or shut off) electricity to a hotel room when the occupant leaves, or elevators that are programmed to run in the most efficient way possible. With all of this, data will be collected that can help owners reduce their bottom line.
