What is the benefit of a building automation systems for a school?

Upgrading and automating valuable infrastructure, including HVAC, water, and electrical systems, provides more than an aesthetic facelift; it also paves the way for long-term savings and efficiency that reduces costs without sacrificing comfort and performance.

How much does a building automation system cost?

The actual price is hard to determine due to numerous factors when planning a building automation system for schools. Larger institutions with complex networks and varying demands for the system can be a more expensive option due to the intricacies needed within the automation system. However, smaller schools with fewer rooms and simpler needs can have a more affordable option due to fewer requirements for standard operation.

What is the average lifespan of a building automation system?

Most BAS setups in schools can last between seven and ten years. This is due to general wear and tear on parts as well as the nature of the internal networking becoming obsolete after some time. With each passing year, make a note of the current state of the system and create a plan for replacements and repairs that can keep the system going at a low cost.

How can we ensure a smooth process when installing building automation systems for schools?

Multiple factors go into a smooth and stress-free process when installing and maintaining building automation systems. Before the first pieces are installed, discuss planning and design with experts to ensure the size of the space fits the demands placed on the system. During installation, ensure accurate calibration and well-placed sensors to give the system the best chances of optimizing performance all year round. Once it’s up and running, schedule routine maintenance checks so that you can spot problems in the system before they become long-term issues that can have a negative impact on the entire school.
