Can wireless devices work in commercial BAS?

摘要

The short answer is yes. Zigbee, Z-Wave, and EnOcean wireless sensing systems are being integrated into commercial BAS worldwide by a variety of providers, in a variety of applications. The long answer is yes, but lifecycle costs and sustainability play an important role in the decision to go wireless. The designer must understand the benefits and restrictions of wireless technology in order to develop solid business opportunities for commercial facilities. Wireless devices can be effectively applied in a variety of building automation applications. Designers and users will be happy with the performance provided that they research not only the features and benefits but also the constraints and limitations. Proper design requires due diligence on the application side as much as on the product side. The client's goals and expectations are integral to the design and may justify the constraints and limitations.
