The efficiency and effectiveness of your building performance relies on two key players: your Information Technology (IT) team, and your facilities department responsible for Operational Technology (OT). And while these two groups ultimately share the same goals—to...
The IT/OT Tug-of-War IT/OT convergence in building management often creates tension and the cause is a dusty server used to provide control and management of building systems. It’s connected to the network but outside of IT’s understanding, and therefore, it is...
The Challenges of Navigating the Building Automation Options Commercial buildings rely on building automation systems (BAS) to provide centralized control over various building functions, from HVAC to lighting, security, and access control. Selecting the right BAS for...
When designing or upgrading a life sciences laboratory, selecting the right building automation system (BAS) is important for mission-critical environments. A properly designed BAS ensures precise control of environmental conditions, supports regulatory compliance,...
Even before the popularity of artificial intelligence (AI), data centers were known for being energy-intensive, consuming 10 to 50 times more energy per square foot than a standard commercial building, according to the U.S. Dept. of Energy. To meet the demand for AI...
What is a Building Automation System? A building automation system (BAS) is a centralized control system designed to monitor and manage a building’s mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. These systems optimize building performance, improve energy efficiency,...
