Building automation systems are used to meet the increasing requirements for energy efficiency and sustainability of buildings. In such systems, BACnet has established itself as the standard communication protocol for communication between devices from different manufacturers. In order to ensure conformity with the BACnet standard, the devices are certified for conformity. In practice, however, the implementation depth described in the standard profiles is not sufficient for operating a system. As a result, many users demand an extended implementation depth of the BACnet protocol. In most cases, an AMEV certificate is sought, which extends the BACnet objects and their properties in comparison to the standard certification. Despite the BACnet standard certification and the fulfilment of the AMEV test certificate, problems often occur during the operation of building automation systems. These problems can be attributed to the fact that neither the functionality nor the performance of automation stations are determined. In addition, special user requirements are not checked before commissioning a building automation system. For this reason, a model was developed with the help of which a pre-commissioning of the automation station is possible in order to automatically check it for errors and special user requirements before commissioning. Initial tests of automation stations revealed that some user requirements were not met.

Building automation is the inevitable product of information age and the modern society, and it is the perfect combination of modern high-tech and building. Making the equipments in the building running automatically in optimal state, building automation system can reduce energy consumption maximally while providing a comfortable environment conditions. This paper makes an energy saving analysis of each important component of building automation system, and establishes a typical office building model, simulating how building automatic system can influence building energy efficiency in four level cases. It hopes to provide some reference for the application of building automation system in building energy efficiency.

At the present time the smart technology enhanced to be utilized for the human life in many elds, especially in the houses. The building automation experienced a rapid growth in techniques and methods to provide an advanced management for operational advantages in buildings and develop the equipment in the houses to the consumption of energy and operation. When the KNX system has been developed to be the most important building automation, the ethernet system has evolved to be global communication system and use it as automation system. Among the various technological developments is IoT, which is the essential development the future achievement via the internet techniques, Meanwhile the different available communication mediums of KNX and the need of utilizing IP network in compiling extensive areas of KNX has led us to conduct this comparison.

In recent years, people may disremember to turn off various devices or not be sure open or closed. Predefined scenarios for these people, home comfort and efficiency in the workplace will help a lot. Most people spend time with mobile phones throughout the day. Therefore, the control of smart devices by phones would be an appropriate solution. In this study, it is designed with microcontroller based intelligent building automation system hardware and software to provide energy efficient, security and comfort. The programming of the microcontroller, writing the android application program for the mobile phone and MySQL database software were realized. Microcontroller with GSM shield, it is possible to control the devices connected to the system by an android application automatically and manually by means of the internet connection by the MySQL database on the remote server. It is ensured that all devices are adjusted with a single touch according to predefined scenarios.

A fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) tool is a type of energy management and information system that continuously identifies the presence of faults and efficiency improvement opportunities through a one-way interface to the building automation system and the application of automated analytics. Building operators on the leading edge of technology adoption use FDD tools to enable median whole-building portfolio savings of 8%. Although FDD tools can inform operators of operational faults, currently an action is always required to correct the faults to generate energy savings. A subset of faults, however, such as biased sensors, can be addressed automatically, eliminating the need for staff intervention. Automating this fault “correction” can significantly increase the savings generated by FDD tools and reduce the reliance on human intervention. Doing so is expected to advance the usability and technical and economic performance of FDD technologies. This paper presents the development of nine innovative fault auto-correction algorithms for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning pi(HVAC) systems. When the auto-correction routine is triggered, it overwrites control setpoints or other variables to implement the intended changes. It also discusses the implementation of the auto-correction algorithms in commercial FDD software products, the integration of these strategies with building automation systems and their preliminary testing.
