Building Automation and Controls
Smart buildings demand smart controls
Our data-enabled automation and controls, along with our automation services, optimise building performance, enhance energy efficiency, and support modernisation efforts to meet evolving building performance and sustainability standards.
An effective BAS (building automation system) ensures occupant comfort by maintaining optimal environmental conditions. BAS integrates different subsystems into one cohesive platform, providing complete visibility and control over building operations. Building occupants are comfortable and safe through simple, configurable controls for specific kinds of equipment. Sensors within our building automation systems detect changes in occupancy, temperature, and air quality, enabling automated adjustments for optimal comfort. Building automation systems can also enhance air quality by integrating HVAC and environmental controls, improving occupant health and comfort.
We make it possible to extend next-generation automated control to every building system on a single platform. Our data-enabled automation and controls will help you achieve your building management goals.

What is involved in implementing a building automation system?
Implementing a building automation system requires a comprehensive, holistic view of the building’s operations and infrastructure. The process involves integrating various systems, such as HVAC, lighting, and security into a single, unified management system. This integration allows building owners to monitor and control different systems in real time, optimising energy efficiency, safety, and security across the entire facility.
A well-implemented BAS provides remote monitoring capabilities, giving you the ability to quickly respond to equipment breakdowns and other operational issues. The system can also support digital services, such as real-time data analytics, which further enhance building efficiency and occupant experiences. By leveraging these advanced capabilities, you can achieve significant benefits, including reduced energy costs, improved productivity, and enhanced well-being for occupants.
Ultimately, a successful BAS implementation empowers commercial property owners to take control of their building’s performance, streamline operations, and create a safer, more efficient, and more comfortable environment.
