Purpose and Objectives of Building Automation Buildings consume over 40% of the total energy consumption in the U.S. Over 90% of the buildings in the U.S. are either smallsized (<5,000 square feet) or medium-sized (between 5,000 sf and 50,000 sf). These buildings typically do not use Building Automation Systems (BAS) to monitor and control their building systems from a central location. A commercial building energy efficiency program can offer energy savings on a day-to-day basis. It can also facilitate Demand Response (DR) when needed. Building Automation System (BAS) Scheduled operation Heating, Ventilation and central AC systems Lighting systems Escalator operation 6 3

Efficacy of Light Bulbs Incandescent 15 lumens/watt 1000 hour life CFL 50 lumens/watt 8,000 hour life LED 100 lumens/watt 30,000 hour life Smart Buildings A smart building connects the building automation system with building operations, such as HVAC, lighting, water supply, sensor network and fire emergency. Implementing smart building solutions can provide: up to 30% savings of water usage up to 40% savings of energy usage reduce building maintenance costs by 10-30 percent Source: Smart Building Market To Grow 30% by 2020, http://www.iotsolutionprovider.com/smart-building/ smart-building-market-to-grow-30-by-2020, December 2015. 5
