November - 2019CONSTRUCTIONTECHREVIEW.COM6A combination of building automation systems (BAS) and the latest technologies help organizations cost-effectively achieve energy-efficient buildings. By controlling various components--heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC)--within a building's infrastructure using the latest technologies like AI, edge computing, sensors, and IoT, BAS has enabled solution vendors to reinvent building structures--both for residential buildings and corporate office. BAS is increasingly leveraging edge devices equipped with analytical capabilities to transmit collected data to an in-building network device to reduce cybersecurity concerns. Moreover, the use of edge devices allows integrators to avoid proprietary software in the cloud, paving the way for integrating BAS with other systems. The sensors that are used in the floor environments in the modern buildings can collect granular area-by-area data on occupancy, temperature, humidity, light levels, and even other miscellaneous aspects like coffee-machine and towel-dispenser use. These data aggregated with analytics can produce actionable insights to improve occupant experience. As employee satisfaction impacts business performance, these facilities further strengthen the link between the working environment and human capital in office spaces. Besides, BAS helps modern organizations design flexible workspace for greater visibility and energy efficiency.Leveraging IoT, modern households can gain real-time reporting on energy, water, and gas, instead of relying entirely on the manual meter reading. In addition, IoT improves HVAC management in buildings through cloud-based controls, which provides high-impact functionality compared to the conventional systems. This edition of Construction Tech Review features a list of leading vendors as well as consulting and services companies along with insightful articles from thought leaders in the building automation arena.Let us know your thoughts.Michael Rosario Managing Editorconstructiontechreview.comBetter Infrastructures for Improved ROICopyright © 2019 ValleyMedia, Inc.
