As an organisation ‘committed to driving the industry forward and increasing awareness of the importance of building controls and automation’, the Building Controls Industry Association (BCIA) has launched what it describes as ‘an informative and illustrative animated guide’ to building controls.
Launched to coincide with World Environment Day on 5 June, the ‘colourful and engaging animation’ provides a clear overview of what building controls are, where they are used, and how they contribute to creating smarter, more energy-efficient buildings. Designed for both industry professionals and the wider public – the BCIA explains – the animation ‘highlights the growing importance of building automation in reducing carbon emissions and optimising building performance’. It explains the key benefits of implementing Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS), and showcases their contribution to sustainable building design and operations.
Stacey Lucas, BCIA President, said: “We’re very proud of this new animation. It’s a straightforward and interesting way to detail everything there is to know about building controls and automation. By shining a spotlight on the benefits of building controls and automation, as well as focusing on the future, the animation is a clear and accessible resource available to all. It is designed to support better understanding and encourage the adoption of smart technologies to create greener, more efficient buildings.”
