E – 3042 Introduction to Building Automation Systems
$50.00
Courses Included
Introduction to Building Automation Systems (BAS) provides a comprehensive overview of the
principles, components, and applications of modern automation systems in buildings. The
course explores how BAS integrates mechanical, electrical, and life safety systems to optimize
building performance, enhance energy efficiency, and improve occupant comfort. It traces the
historical evolution of BAS – from pneumatic and electric control systems to today’s intelligent,
data-driven Direct Digital Controls (DDC) – and explains how communication protocols such as
BACnet and Modbus enable system interoperability. Participants will gain an understanding of
network topologies, HVAC automation principles, demand response strategies, predictive
maintenance applications, and renewable energy integration. The course emphasizes how BAS
serves as a critical platform for energy management, operational optimization, and
sustainability in modern buildings.
