Course provides insight and best practices for a successful BACnet-based BAS integration<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Atlanta, GA \u2013 January 14, 2019 \u2013 BACnet International is excited to announce the launch of the newest course on The BACnet Institute (TBI) titled The Facility Manager\u2019s Guide to Building Automation Systems (BAS)<\/em>. This new course provides insight on how facility managers can effectively participate in and contribute to a BACnet-based BAS integration. The course is positioned from a facility manager\u2019s perspective but it is also a valuable resource for other key professionals in the BAS integration process, including building owners, contractors, project consultants, and even IT professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this course you\u2019ll gain an understanding of the key principles of BACnet-based BAS design and procurement, the importance of collaboration between Facility Management and IT, and how the Networked Controls BAS design model enables streamlined facilities management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur research showed a gap in information for facility mangers in regards to Open Systems BAS implementation, and so we created this course in response to that need,\u201d stated Andy McMillan, president and managing director of BACnet International. \u201cThis new course provides an easy way for facility mangers, or anyone involved in a BACnet project, to learn about implementing networked control systems. It is a good complement to the comprehensive resources already available on the TBI site.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit www.thebacnetinstitute.org<\/a> to access this course and many other resources, including the BACnet International AHR 2019 education sessions that will be available in early March.
