Today’s lighting control systems integrate a number of devices and can work with HVAC, A/V, security, and other building systems. Integrating these within a building automation system (BAS) can yield significant benefits, from maximizing energy savings and cost efficiencies to making the building more responsive to occupants and able to enact IoT strategies. In some projects, the lighting controls design may be integral to the BAS, and coordination may be the responsibility of the control system designer.

This seminar will helps designers articulate BAS intent, identify integration points, and produce a comprehensive sequence of operations.

Working knowledge of lighting and lighting controls are recommended for this session.

Learning Objectives

  1. Engage with clients about integration and BAS needs.
  2. Discover the need for a BAS and integration on a project.
  3. Coordinate a lighting controls system that integrates with a BAS.
  4. Better specify for projects that use a BAS integrator.
