This article will review what such systems and their operators can and cannot do, what new risks can be created for the boilers in such buildings, and how to reduce and control those risks. Benefits of automation Intelligent buildings today use a building automation system (BAS) and other systems to operate HVAC, boilers, chillers, lights, elevators, building access fire protection and other systems to achieve the twin goals of efficiency and comfort. A BAS is defined here as a system of sen noblex Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:35:48 GMT http://www.slideshare.net/noblex1/the-benefits-of-an-hvac-audit HVAC audits can be quite complex and involve dedicated personnel, or they can be less formal and folded into a preventive maintenance (PM) program. Focusing first on the biggest energy users — chillers, boilers and fan motors — maintenance and engineering managers can develop an audit program that locates substantial savings in energy costs, savings that often will pay for any additional maintenance burden created by conducting the audits. noblex Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:59:40 GMT
