**What is Building Automation?** Building Management System (BMS) or Building Automation System (BAS) is a computer-based network system that monitors, regulates, and manages equipment and systems in buildings such as electrical lighting, HVAC, Access Control, Security Systems, and other linked systems BAS. BAS is a tool in the hands of building operations personnel to provide more effective and efficient control over all building systems. **Building Automation Objectives** The main objectives of building automation are - Improved occupant comfort - Increased security - Control energy usage - Reduce operating as well as maintaining costs - Effective operation of building automation - Can access, control, and operate remotely - Data collection **Components of Building Automation System** The main components of BAS are - Sensors - Controllers - Communication networks - Host computer - Software **Top 7 companies in Building automation systems are** - Honeywell - Schneider Electric - Siemens - Mitsubishi Electric - ABB - Johnson Controls - United Technologies **Basic Architecture of Building Management System** ![image](https://cdn.forumautomation.com/original/2X/f/f36a62a4b5f7c7ac3643ed15096fd6ad024cdf57.jpeg) **Honeywell** Honeywell is a global leader in the design and manufacture of building automation systems.
