HVAC and BAS webcast: Can BACnet control an HVAC system?

The design of building automation systems (BAS) and building controls for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems is based on the designer’s level of understanding, and on ASHRAE Standard 135: BACnet — A Data Communication Protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks. The HVAC system, its controls components and the building in which it is installed should all be considered together as parts of a single, whole design.

Designers should remain flexible in providing the best possible system that can control, to various degrees of comfort required, different applications within the same building. The system should provide this control with reasonable costs at the least possible energy use.

The BAS also may incorporate other building components, and be considered when incorporating things like room shades, lighting schedules and other elements.
