Creating a Quality Building Environment with a Building Automation System

摘要

A quality building environment (QBE) is efficient, productive, comfortable, safe, and healthy, and supports the business needs of the occupants. Building owners and managers face several challenges in es- tablishing optimum levels for each of these components of QBE. Build- ing owners invest in building automation system(S) (BAS) to automate their buildings. However, empirical evidence suggests that over 90 per- cent of the BAS are under-utilized.
