Building systems integration best practices

摘要

While 30 yr of advances in building automation have allowed owners to do more with less, the benefits remain accompanied by challenges.

Integrating otherwise disparate BAS into enterprise-level software platforms establishes a business case for state-of-the-art systems integration.
