gebäudeautomation refers
to the hardware and software systems which are used for installation
of different types of electronic applications within commercial
buildings. If there is a need to upgrade an already existing building
automation system, you need to verify its existing capability as well
as that of HVAC systems.
One thing which you need to keep in
mind is that most often, existing systems are not used to the full.
While some functions present in the system may be used at the initial
stage, they may be dropped to problems in handling, while some others
may not have been used at all.
Therefore, as
a manager you need to do away with the
ones which are no longer being used and replace them with functions
which are not available with your current system. One of the best
ways of reducing energy costs and improving the performance of
building automation system is through retrocommissioning.
The normal pay back time or ROI of
such a project is a bit more than one year. To minimize the costs and
enhance the chances of project approval is through utility
incentives. In some cases it can be used to cover commissioning
costs. By reducing the amount of energy that a facility uses, retro
commissioning can help you to reduce the demand of your utility
infrastructure.
Once you have a retrocommissioning
done within the commercial building in which your office is located,
you can save a considerable sum for the upcoming 3-5 years. It will
also help to increase the life span of appliances such as lights, AC
etc. Emission of green house gases will also be reduced in the long
run. So, for enhancing the efficiency of your building automation
systems, retrocommissioning is the most suitable option.
