Building automation system cybersecurity can’t wait October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. It’s a good time to ask: “Is my BAS cybersecure?” Hackers set their sights on the BAS for a variety of reasons. Some want to find a backdoor into IT computing...
The right expert makes a big difference. This is true in brain surgery. And in rocket science. And it’s also true for your building automation system (BAS) and building performance. BAS management is growing more complex. And building performance is increasingly...
The efficiency and effectiveness of your building performance relies on two key players: your Information Technology (IT) team, and your facilities department responsible for Operational Technology (OT). And while these two groups ultimately share the same goals—to...
The IT/OT Tug-of-War IT/OT convergence in building management often creates tension and the cause is a dusty server used to provide control and management of building systems. It’s connected to the network but outside of IT’s understanding, and therefore, it is...
The Challenges of Navigating the Building Automation Options Commercial buildings rely on building automation systems (BAS) to provide centralized control over various building functions, from HVAC to lighting, security, and access control. Selecting the right BAS for...
When designing or upgrading a life sciences laboratory, selecting the right building automation system (BAS) is important for mission-critical environments. A properly designed BAS ensures precise control of environmental conditions, supports regulatory compliance,...
