Smart Building, also known as intelligent building, uses technology to create a more comfortable, safer, and more productive environment to people. Smart building is a close combination of computer, communication, control, and construction technology. It is composed of three major systems: Building Automation System (BAS), Office Automation System (OAS) and Communication Automation System (CAS).
Building Automation System
Office Automation System
Communication Automation System
A building automation system (BAS) is a network designed to connect and automate certain functions inside a building. It is a concept of combining distributed control systems(DCS) and central management to achieve high efficiency and energy saving through monitoring and controlling the energy use, environment, traffic, and safety facilities in the building. Therefore, to provide people a safe, reliable, energy-saving, comfortable, and pleasant working or living environment.
Building automation uses sensors and controls to monitor and adjust a building’s utilities, including
The infrastructure of Building Automation could be layered from the bottom of field devices to the top of cloud solutions, details as below.
Mitwell’s SMARC Module is a perfect solution for building automation control. The flexible design fulfills the demands by different sizes of HMI with DC/ PoE power input options. Using PoE to power devices offers greater location flexibility and lower cost to deploy and operate them than using AC power. As PoE evolved from delivering 15W to 90W of power across Ethernet cabling, PoE can power and connect devices that are critical to building automation. Contact us to find out more.
