The leading European semiconductor specialist, EBV Elektronik - an Avnet (NYSE: AVT) Company - dedicates the fifth issue of its knowledge magazine to the topic of building automation. The magazine sets out the benefits of automation both for the home and for industrial, commercial and other public utility buildings.
From a domestic attic extension to the German parliament building - 'The Quintessence of Building Automation' reports on how automation is helping to save energy, improve usability and enhance security and comfort in a number of realised applications. In the now traditional roundtable discussion, high calibre experts debate the trends in building automation and what preconditions must be met in order to turn the 'house machine' into a dynamic system meeting all the requirements of the future.
"Even if Newbuild projects have seen significant declines, a stabilising factor amidst the turmoil, however, is the increasing activity in the renovation sector. Here new technologies such as powerline and wireless systems are enabling old buildings to be brought up to the state of the art at low cost. Building automation is also a major factor in helping reduce energy consumption - without imposing any restrictions in terms of comfort, safety or reliability. Moreover, the current debate surrounding the lifecycle costs of buildings is causing property owners and facility managers to focus more closely on building automation. Building automation not only cuts operating costs; the high flexibility it offers also helps maintain property values over many years," explains Bernd Schlemmer, Director Communications at EBV Elektronik.
In the fifth issue of the biannual magazine, the readers learn everything about the topic of Building automation. Highlights of the issue include:
- Intelligently interconnected: The benefit of building automation
- Hotel for modern individualists: On the luxury of intuitive technology
- Economy and ecology in harmony: A pleasant working climate for parliamentarians
- Safety first: Preventing a fire from turning into a disaster
