Things are moving fast in building automation. Everywhere, building managers like you are scrambling to keep up with a rapidly evolving industry. And, while all that innovation is opening up an unprecedented opportunity to cut energy costs and improve tenant comfort, it also leads to a bit of an alphabet soup of emerging technologies.

If you’re like most building managers, you’re probably under constant pressure to improve the efficiency and reduce the operating costs of your facilities. And, while modern building automation systems (BASs) promise to cut inputs and improve comfort, rolling out these systems can seem overwhelming, especially if you have existing systems in place. 

Installing a Building Automation System (BAS) in your facility offers immediate and significant reductions in one of your biggest overheads: energy costs. An effective implementation also lets you double on these savings over time through increased operational efficiencies and lower maintenance costs.

As a building manager, you’re likely familiar with the savings and benefits fully automated building functions can bring to your property. Today’s highly integrated building automation systems (BAS) link multiple sensors with systems control equipment to optimize heating, cooling, and ventilation, delivering savings on energy, maintenance, and longer equipment life.

Smart buildings use a range of advanced technologies to deliver safe, comfortable, and finely controlled environments for occupants. For building managers, smart buildings offer a chance to deliver added value to tenants, owners, and investors while keeping costs low and expenses predictable. 

If you’re a property management group trying to make your commercial or residential stock more profitable, you’re probably already on the lookout for better ways to control your costs while adding features that current or future tenants will value.

HVAC systems are a big deal when it comes to energy efficiency and conservation, but will a new or existing HVAC system play nicely with your Building Automation System (BAS)? 

It depends a lot on the age and integration readiness of your HVAC, your BAS, and your building, and the specific needs of your tenants or occupants. Much of it also boils down to choosing a knowledgeable, experienced…

Mid-Atlantic Controls is excited to announce that Tridium has officially released the JACE 9000! This highly-anticipated release represents a significant upgrade to Building Management System hardware and is optimized for the Niagara Framework. The JACE 9000 Controller builds on the components of the JACE 8000 and includes several new features.

Digital controls, IoT sensors, and other modern building management technologies make it easy to get the most out of your systems. However, these advanced options could be out of reach unless you’ve integrated your building management system (BMS).

Tridium’s Niagara Framework is a truly “open” building management platform. It combines mechanical and electrical systems from any manufacturer into a…

The world of building facility managers is rife with acronyms and jargon. Two terms that often cause confusion are Building Management Systems (BMS) and Building Automation Systems (BAS).
