Building Automation Systems (BAS) are installed to improve comfort and efficiency, yet in many organizations they operate far below their potential. This session provides a foundational understanding of how building automation systems work, including schedules, setpoints, sensors, overrides, and control sequences. Participants will learn how these elements interact to drive HVAC performance and where small configuration issues can quietly create large, ongoing energy costs. Common problems such as equipment running off schedule, simultaneous heating and cooling, improper setpoints, failed sensors, and excessive overrides are explored through real-world examples.
Rather than focusing on system design or programming, this webinar emphasizes how to read what the BAS is telling you. Attendees will learn how to use trends, alarms, and basic analytics to identify savings opportunities, validate operational changes, and prioritize buildings or systems for further investigation. The session also highlights how BAS insights pair with utility and interval data to confirm results and sustain savings.
The key takeaway is that meaningful energy savings often come from operational improvements and not just capital projects. With a solid BAS foundation, organizations can uncover hidden waste, improve comfort, and move from reactive control to proactive, data-driven energy management.
