16 Management platform
A building automation and control system encompasses all control functions of one or more buildings.
In addition to typical HVAC systems, there is a need to integrate other areas of the building, such as
lighting and blind control systems, fire alarm systems and access systems.
At completion the system comprises one or more superordinate management platforms that let you
centrally operate and monitor the individual plants, while each plant's technical building equipment still
continues to work autonomously.
