Learn to design and operate real building automation systems — BACnet integration, DDC controllers, HVAC and lighting control sequences, metering, digital twins, fault detection, analytics, and BAS cybersecurity.
21 modules and 5 complete real-project case studies, with worked calculations, field documentation, and a certificate of completion.
What makes a building "smart" and the BAS as its central nervous system.
BAS architecture across field, controller, supervisory, and enterprise levels.
Objects, services, BACnet/IP vs. MS/TP, and multi-vendor interoperability.
Controller types, I/O, programming, and selection criteria.
AHU, VAV, and central plant sequences of operation.
Occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting, dimming, and code drivers.
Submetering strategy, meter types, and tenant billing allocation.
M&V methodology, demand response, and utility rate-driven control.
Live, data-connected models vs. static BIM, and real use cases.
Rule-based FDD, common fault libraries, and alarm triage.
KPIs, benchmarking, and turning trend data into work orders.
Wireless sensor networks, multi-sensor devices, and placement.
Integrating fire alarm, access control, elevators, and lighting.
Functional performance testing and continuous commissioning.
BAS/OT network segmentation and securing legacy protocols.
Portfolio prioritization, ROI, and model predictive control.
A systematic methodology for real BAS diagnostic scenarios.
A phased legacy-to-BACnet/IP retrofit with measured energy savings.
A 17-building submetering deployment with billing allocation.
Critical-space pressure-relationship FDD with alarm prioritization.
Assessing and remediating an internet-exposed corporate BAS.
A high-rise digital twin integrating BAS, IoT, and BIM data.
12 real project templates — a points list, sequence of operations, BACnet integration checklist, commissioning functional test checklist, energy baseline & M&V calculation sheet, fault detection rule set, cybersecurity hardening checklist, network architecture checklist, RFI template, punch list, an as-built documentation checklist, and an O&M manual outline. Available for download from Module 20 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
Coming later: sample BAS front-end screenshots and video demonstrations. Not included in this release.
