Building automation is sometimes used synonymously with technical building equipment. However, building automation not only includes the respective integrated systems of a building, but rather describes the networking and central control of various trades such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting and access systems. Sequences and predefined processes are automatically controlled, regulated and monitored thanks to building automation. The goal of building automation is very similar to that of building services engineering: comfort for users, safety and energy efficiency are to be increased through automated operation. Building automation also includes the installation of necessary sensors, actuators, and other control elements, as well as the implementation of appropriate software to control operations in terms of preferences and conditions. This gives operators the convenient option of controlling processes centrally and remotely via mobile devices.
