A building automation system is a network of “intelligent”
control devices used in one or more building systems, such as HVAC,
lighting, and security systems. Building automation systems operate
cooperatively to share building information and control system
devices automatically according to programmed logic.
Building Automation Control Devices and Applications
focuses on these control devices. This textbook covers the
operation, signals, and functions of these sensors, actuators, and
other control equipment used in automated systems in commercial
buildings. The textbook is organized by building system, and each
system is explained so that the function and application of each
device is clear. This system-based foundation is then used to
discuss the possibilities of interaction between multiple systems in
automated buildings.
This textbook is a solid foundation for a comprehensive training
program in building automation.
