Building Automation and Sustainability: A Partnership for Measurable ROI
By Nate Kehr, Marketing Manager & LEED Green Associate, KMC Controls
Sustainability initiatives may be driven by a number of factors such as environmental stewardship, the desire for green building certification, or the financial benefits of lower operating costs. A properly installed and commissioned building automation and control system will contribute to success in each area.
An integrated building automation system can tie building access to the activation of HVAC and lighting for a particular space, benefitting individual comfort and facilitating efficient use of equipment and power. Schedules, trends, and historical data can be used to set, analyze, and improve a building's performance in real-time. Beyond comfort, a balanced control system can also have a positive effect upon occupant productivity.
Building automation systems improve the performance of your building in three primary ways:
- Greater Energy Efficiency
- Lower Operating and Maintenance Costs
- Better Indoor Air Quality
