Open and flexible control technology facilitates building implementation
Fraunhofer IAO, ZVE, Germany
The demand for intelligent building management has been steadily increasing in recent years, with the primary focus on energy efficiency, user comfort and a good return on investment. The use of system-spanning building automation, such as offered by PC-based control from Beckhoff, makes it possible to implement sustainable, energy-efficient construction and living as implied by "green building" standards. All necessary building systems, from HVAC, lighting and shading control as well as room automation to AV and media technology, are integrated into a single platform. This benefits everyone involved in the building automation value chain: architects enjoy the greatest possible creative freedom and optimal functional efficiency; specialists can plan with greater certainty and reduced complexity; system integrators benefit from simplified engineering and increased process reliability; operators can minimize their operating and maintenance costs; and investors achieve the greatest possible investment protection.
