ISA Building Automation Systems Course

Description:
This real-world-based course will give you a broad introductory understanding of the specific issues involved with Building Automation Systems (BAS). You will explore the processes that occur at every level in the air conditioning industry including digital controls, sensing and measurement, actuation, analog output devices, and relays. Computer interfaces are also discussed including web interfaces. Your overall survey of the world of BAS includes: Future of BAS; Digital Direct Control (DDC) Basics; Field Devices; The Human Machine Interface (HMI); BAS Design and Specification; Energy Conservation Control Strategies; and System Maintenance.

You will be able to:
Identify and describe the major components in a BAS
Identify and describe the basic mechanical components and controls in an HVAC control system
Describe and explain the basic functions of DDC systems
Reference codes and standards applicable to BAS
Describe and explain HMI basics
Explain BAS in non-ATC systems (lighting, fire, security, etc.)
Explain the process of implementing BAS
Explain Energy Conservation Strategies
Justify control components for project work
Know where to look for additional references
Describe the major components in a BAS
