Building Automation Systems Essentials

A properly operated building automation system (BAS) reduces energy consumption and allows for more efficient building system operations. This enables building managers to increase tenant comfort while reducing operating costs.

During this one-day Building Automation Systems Essentials course, participants examine the basics of building systems and energy conservation strategies. This empowers participants to efficiently and effectively operate a BAS regardless of which system is used.

Whether they are building operators, project managers, or technicians, participants improve their understanding of a BAS through the BAS Essentials course by examining the most important components, including protocols, controls, control strategies, scheduling, set points, resets, maintenance, recommissioning, and commissioning.

After completing the Building Automation Systems Essentials course (or if you are already an experienced BAS operator or specialist looking to get more out of your system), register for the Advanced Building Automation Systems Optimization course. The advanced course is focused on control strategies and design to generate further results in your building. 

In this course, you will learn to

• Develop energy conservation plans and how various projects generate energy savings. 
• Optimize an already existing BAS. 
• Calibrate a BAS. 
• Discern the core design specifications of a BAS. 
• Identify opportunities to optimize a BAS. 
• Define the relationship between heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC), a BAS, and key control strategies. 
• Recognize the importance of identifying and following trends. 
• Explore the benefits of scheduling. 
• Analyze the calibration process. 

This course is ideal for

• Building operators 
• Technicians 
• Project managers 
• Consulting engineers 
• Property managers 
• Building owners/operators
