Building automation systems (BAS) can cut energy costs by controlling every aspect of a healthcare facility's HVAC system, according to an article on the BOSS website.
As BAS technology advances, more facility systems — such as fire alarm, power monitoring, lighting control, and security — are being integrated into building automation.
Four critical considerations when selecting building automation systems are:
• Ease of use
• Facility needs
• Energy savings
• Regulatory compliance
The selection of building automation systems impacts patient experience as well as financial, compliance and energy usage factors within a healthcare organization.
