Description
Building automation systems (BAS) significantly influence energy consumption, indoor air quality, and maintenance efficiency. However, many systems are underutilized, unrealizing their potential to improve building performance. By understanding BAS fundamentals, including control systems and communication protocols, you can unlock these systems' capabilities to enhance efficiency and sustainability. This course provides foundational knowledge of control system basics and the integration of hardware, software, and communication standards like BACnet to ensure seamless BAS operation.
Equipped with insights into energy codes and standards such as ASHRAE and LEED, participants will explore energy-saving strategies for various building systems. This course covers practical retrofitting approaches and optimization techniques to maximize energy efficiency, from air handling and lighting systems to heating and cooling plants. Additionally, it delves into designing BAS specifications, crafting operational sequences, and implementing strategies to optimize new or existing systems.
Participants will also gain hands-on knowledge of the commissioning process, from initial hardware and software testing to retro-commissioning and ongoing diagnostics. By fostering a deeper understanding of BAS, this course empowers you to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and contribute to a sustainable future.
Who Should Attend:
This course is designed for building operators, facility managers, senior building personnel, property managers, engineers, technicians, and technologists involved in building maintenance and energy management. It is also beneficial for professionals in HVAC design, energy auditing, and sustainability consulting, as well as those overseeing building retrofitting or system upgrades.
Individuals seeking to enhance their understanding of BAS fundamentals, implement energy-efficient strategies, or stay updated on relevant standards will find this course invaluable. Whether you are an experienced professional looking to refine your expertise or a newcomer eager to learn about BAS systems, this course caters to a wide audience committed to advancing their knowledge and skills in building automation.
