Integrate Building and Facility Automation Products to Enable Information Exchange and Reduce Costs

Building and facility automation includes  centralized control for security; lighting; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC); fire alarm; and building energy management systems.  The major objectives are to improve occupant comfort, reduce energy consumption and operation costs, efficiently operate building systems, and increase the lifecycle of utilities.    

Modern facility automation systems function like a comprehensive distributed control system to integrate once disparate systems to facilitate information exchange.  By integrating disparate systems such as video surveillance, access control, physical security, and incidence response, users can take advantage of natural synergies to develop a more robust security system and  reduce design, maintenance, and operational cost.  Lack of accepted integration standards or accepted communication protocols, however, is delaying the adoption of intelligent, web-based, integrated digital security systems.

According to the US Department of Energy, commercial buildings consume almost 20 percent of the energy produced in the US, whereas both commercial and residential buildings produce about 38 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions.  Commercial buildings consume over 70 percent of the electricity produced in the US.  Thus, making buildings more efficient represents a significant opportunity to contribute to a less wasteful energy future and can have a positive effect on the environment.  Building and facility automation is one of the many tools that can be used to operate buildings more efficiently.
