Boost the Energy Efficiency and Safety of buildings with Building Automations


The installation of electronic as well as communication systems in buildings have undergone a sea change over the last few years. Apart from enhancing the security and comfort of the occupants, increasing attention is being paid to improve energy efficiency. Gebäudeautomation is used to describe a convenient and safe system for setup of electronic equipments such as air conditioners, lights etc in commercial buildings.So how does this type of system work? They are connected with a server in order to ensure efficient tracking of everything which takes place within a building. These automated systems are handled by expert technicians. This ensures that if there is any mishap, occupants can come out of the building in time.



Lighting is a major contributor to the total energy consumption as well as CO2 emission of buildings. Using a a combination of light control and presence detection, companies can save up to 30-40% on their energy bills.A few years ago, building installations were built on systems based on field bus. But most manufacturers are switching to Ethernet.This is because Ethernet is not only more affordable, it also provides satisfactory performance over a long span of time.



By opting for I/O modules and controllers which are situated directly on ether net, there is no need to use hardware like terminal servers and gateways. The controller device has Ethernet TCP/IP capability in order to build controller device, which in turn helps the users to make use of existing corporate networks, which in turn can lower costs,enhance data access and make networks easier to manage.
