1. INTRODUCTION. Nowadays, social scientist and engineers, as well as the architects put a lot of attention and take a lot of care about, not only housing, but also tertiary buildings like museums, hotels, restaurants, office buildings, etc. But fortunately we live in a time where electronic and electric engineering is present in all sides and is making a deep impact in all society, for this fact engineers of XXI century have a great knowledge, skills, information and technology for making our life, our houses and our buildings more safety, comfortable, profitable, modern and save energy, and some of this technologies that they can use are building automation systems. In fact this technologies can be a way to reduce the environmental…show more content…
Based on this information and a specific programming, the central unit will act on certain circuits related power signals picked up by the field elements concerned. [2] 2.5. Advantages and Disadvantages. Here, in this chapter, advantages and disadvantages will be defined. Let's start with advantages first. Next will be exposed the main of them: a) Energy saving: It is the biggest advantage, because when you can program all the devices you do not need to be spending all day. This is seen especially in the heating system, instead of leaving it lit all day can be programmed to turn on half an hour before you get home so you are in comfortable temperature when you really need. b) Comfort regarding electronics: Just by sitting on the couch turn on the TV without coming to the button on. c) House controlling: through a laptop created especially for each dwelling. After finishing with the advantages, is time to start to define all the main disadvantages, that are the…show more content…
Main Building Automation Technology Systems (Commercial). Here will be mentioned the main Building Automation Technology Systems, with all characteristics, history, working and so one. 2.6.1. X10 Protocol (Industry Standart). X10, that is a communication protocol linking electronic devices, is used for Building Automation . It mainly uses power line wiring for making signals and controlling. The signal involves short radio frequency bursts that includes digital information. A system based on wireless radio protocol transport can be defined here. It is said that X10 was developed in 1975 by the enterprise Pico Electronics of Glenrothes, settled in Scotland, with the target to create remote control for home devices, appliances and so on. this protocol was the first general purpose BAS technology and still the most widely available. Although a number of higher bandwidth alternatives exist, X10 remains popular in the home environment with millions of units in use worldwide, and inexpensive availability of new components.
