These controls help optimize energy efficiency, maintain comfortable environments, and ensure the safety of building occupants. BAS Controls use sensors, controllers, and software to collect data and make real-time adjustments based on programmed parameters. They are commonly used in commercial, industrial, and large residential buildings to streamline operations and reduce energy costs.
