Energy Concerns and Control Systems
BACS is a Building Automation and Control System, an intelligent network of electronic devices, designed to monitor and control the mechanical and lighting systems in a building, with the goal of reducing energy and maintenance costs.
All systems inside the building are monitored and their data is constantly stored on a central system or uploaded to the internet. Refrigeration, Lighting, Pumps and fans, temperatures, etc. are all connected to it, and monitored for optimum output and performance.
The Average energy flows for a typical "Small-Size" Project (Small Arena with only one practice rink) are shown in the diagram below.
