Latest Trends in Building Automation and Control Systems

This paper explains the basic concept of building automation and control system (BACS), examines the latest trends in the related technologies, and describes the challenges and future directions of the building control industry. It is believed that the development trend of BACS is greatly influenced by the advancement and blooming of information technology and communication networks. To achieve intelligent facility management and enhance the overall building performance, it is necessary to develop and implement the BACS in an effective manner, by considering appropriate technologies, actual project requirements and imaginations. It is also important to have effective system specification and proper education so that the knowledge from different disciplines can be integrated more efficiently in practice.
