Building automation & BACNet

Energy efficiency in buildings is a multidimensional subject and in today’s day and age, and a pretty relevant one too. Open communication protocols such as BACNet and other specific apps are designed and developed to augment the Energy efficiency of building and also to automate its components. People want more comfort and easy access to places and its constituents where they live or work.  But at the same time they want to be socially and environmentally responsible as well.

Building Automation Systems (BAS) has the ability to integrate with the existing systems in a building and make it resource-efficient. This IoT based automation systems can ensure low energy consumption in a building thus enhancing the efficiency of the systems in the building. BAS can also reduce the operational costs of the building by automating and integrating systems such as HVAC, security, fire and lighting.

Cutting down electrical consumption and wastage

One of the biggest advantages of IoT powered building automation systems is that there would be no need of major revamp or alteration to be done to the existing wiring circuits. Wireless sensor networks combined with IoT technology can be applied to modern and old buildings alike. In large cities, buildings are cropping up like mushrooms and would need energy needed to fulfil the inhabitant’s requirements for heating, lighting, cooling etc. Studies say powering the buildings accounts up to nearly 75% of a city’s carbon pollution. These buildings normally waste close to 30% of the total grid energy as well. The need of the hour is to cut down pollution levels by optimally reducing the electrical consumption and wastage. Demand control ventilation and movement monitoring systems can help automate the lighting and cooling systems of a building. The data coming from the sensors would also give us a real picture of the current and past consumption trend and would help in curbing the future meter readings.

Ripples IoT – Building Automation Systems

Ripples IoT smart building solutions offers end-to-end automation solutions for energy devices or equipment in a building through proper sensor-gateway integration, wireless connectivity, data management and actuator initiation.  We have successfully integrated smart energy saving solutions for our clients like smart energy saving meter for buildings and a kiosk integrated with different sensors to monitor temperature, ambient light, human presence, etc. We have also recently launched building automation systems starter kit, to help meet your needs and understanding in automating your building premises and components. So if you are really interested in making your building smart or want to cut down the electrical consumption and wastage, our smart building solutions can be a perfect catalyst for the same.
