Building Automation Systems Fundamentals (BAS)
Introduction:
A Building Automation System (BAS) is a computerized intelligent network of electronic devices that is used to control and monitor the mechanical, lighting and security systems in a building. It is sometimes referred to as an intelligent building system. It is most often used for control of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. A BAS can result in a dramatic reduction in building energy and maintenance costs. BAS can also monitor other parameters such as temperature, air pollution levels, fire alarm status and building integrity. The course covers controllers, industrial networks, lighting, air handlers, water systems and the central plant. The second day provides you with a solid understanding of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and the associated electrical systems. The candidates will also be exposed to alarms and security, room automation and the vital topic of energy efficiency. Throughout the course the candidates will learn the essentials in installing, commissioning and troubleshooting individual components and systems.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
