What Is Building Automation?
Building automation is the use of automation and control systems to monitor and control buildingwide systems, such as HVAC, lighting, alarms, and security access and cameras. Converging these systems into a single IT-managed network infrastructure creates a smart building. Smart buildings often use Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power and connect IoT devices and sensors.

Anatomy of a Building Automation System

While building automation systems are configured to meet the specific needs of a building and its occupants, each shares the following elements:

• 1. Software
• 2. Field controllers
• 3. A communication bus
• 4. Network controllers
• 5. Downstream end-devices for occupant control (thermostats, room controllers)
