Building Automation Training - This 12-hour live online instructor-led course teaches how systems operate to save energy and communicate to use the IOT (internet of things) and data to achieve considerable additional savings from proper BAS system integrated design, installation, commissioning, monitoring and maintenance.

Much of today's infrastructure, such as hospitals, data centers, industrial facilities and commercial and multi-residential buildings, have antiquated building automation systems that don’t save as much money in energy and operations as possible and don’t communicate with each other to get the benefits of real-time monitoring and information exchange. Our course teaches how to control energy consumption according to building automation industry standards.

Intelligent building automation systems have improved capabilities to manage energy use and provide better comfort and controlled lighting, security, and emergency response capabilities. IBAS can be used for many applications, including energy management, demand response capabilities, renewable energy and energy storage integration, security, and fire and safety applications. This course aims to learn the rapid technology advances in intelligent building automation systems and how they may be applied to suit various custom applications that can improve comfort, productivity, and education and contribute to economic and environmental objectives.

The focus of this course is on the following:

  • Building Automation Architecture
  • Economics of BAS
  • BAS Integration
  • Emerging Technologies
  • Hardware Innovations
  • Software Innovations

 

What you will learn:

This course will cover many practical examples and be interactive for students to gain a broad understanding of intelligent building automation systems.

Identify and describe the major components in the BAS for HVAC, Lighting, Security, Fire and Safety

Identify and describe the basic mechanical components in an HVAC automated control system

  • Describe and explain the basic functions of all BAS systems
  • Reference codes and standards applicable to BAS
  • Describe and explain HMI basics and remote access
  • Describe networking as used in BAS systems
  • Explain the process of implementing BAS
  • Explain Energy Conservation Strategies
  • Justify control components for data collection and AI applications
  • Describe the relationship to building rating systems and where to look for additional references

 

After completion of this course, the participant will have a better understanding of the following:

  • Building Automation Overview:  History of Building Automation | Building Types and Key Requirements | Current and Future Trends | Delivery of BAS
  • BAS Applications:  Building HVAC Basics | Space Condition Controls | Air Handler Controls | Central Utilities | Non-ATC Systems | Energy Conservation Control Strategies| BAS Fire/Safety Systems| Security Systems | BAS Surveillance Systems
  • BAS System Solutions:  Hardware and software | DDC Controllers | Field Devices| HVAC Controls | Lighting Controls | Human Machine Interface (HMI) | Fault Detection | Digital Twin
  • BAS System Delivery:  Design and Specification | Project Engineering | Application Development | Implementation | Maintenance
  • BAS System Interoperability: ASHRAE Guideline | Internet of Things | Division 25
  • The Biggest Mistakes that companies make....and how to avoid them.
  • How to save and make money with Intelligent Building Automation.
