10 Facts about Building Automation
Building Automation and Controls (BAC) enhance comfort and productivity while using less energy, thus reducing costs and bills. All too often, energy improvement in buildings is only focused on the building fabric (such as insulation) and the installed equipment (like LEDs or high-efficiency boilers), but overlooks the opportunities in more efficient and dynamic operability. This is where advanced…
