A building automation system or BAS is a network of controlling and monitoring devices mainly responsible for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control system in large facilities and commercial buildings. Building automation systems are most commonly implemented in large facilities such as healthcare facilities, schools, universities, hotels, residential buildings, and data centers. A BAS network allows building operators to supervise and control the HVAC systems from a centralized location known as the Building Management System or BMS. VAV system, the air handling unit (AHU) and the VAV boxes are physically separated from each other, and each one has its own controller, also distanced from one another. However, for a VAV system to operate effectively, the VAV Boxes and the AHU have to talk to each other; in other words, they need to share information to properly adjust their setpoints based on zone heating or cooling demand.
The Power of PDSA
Transforming Problem-Solving with the Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycle
Overview
The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle is a systematic method for solving problems and implementing changes effectively...
PDSA Steps
- Plan: Identify an opportunity and develop a plan for change.
- Do: Implement the change on a small scale.
- Study: Analyze the results and determine effectiveness.
- Act: If successful, implement the change on a broader scale.
Benefits
Using the PDSA cycle promotes continuous improvement, supports data-driven decisions, and enhances team collaboration...
