INBAC is about Indian Building Automation Community. So let’s become truly Atmanirbhar by using Design in India and Make in India Products. I am happy that many International and local brands are helping this localisation drive.

Digital India vision calls for public – private partnership in every aspect. Habitats, commercial and government spaces create humongous data which can be better comprehended when seen in the light of comparative efficiency trends and global benchmarks. Let’s create an urge for complying to the better standards thereby promoting innovations and effective usage of technology. It is imperative to bring the social impact!

Building Automation is not just about “Buildings” or about “Automation” anymore. We can include everything under the sun, be it sustainable, smart, intelligent, responsive, adaptable or connected. All of this and more is a building and enabler is building automation. This is just a beginning and we see a whole new world out there.

Data is siloed in proprietary systems with various OEM’s in a facility. There is no unified way to track equipment performance, indoor air quality, Deviations, energy efficiency & facility conditions at a glance. With many innovative solutions , FM’s must leverage available tools to solve pain points, optimize resources, save costs & run an efficient facility. Covid-19 has only helped propel usage of technology to remotely manage facilities. The future is towards digitalization.

Building Automation is something absolutely necessary for buildings to make them green, sustainable, confortable, secure & eco friendly. The value BMS brings to the table is still not understood by many which restricts its usege and also the benefits to a great extents. INBAC to play a major role in taking BMS to the households and unearthing the tremendous potential it has to the benefits of the owners and also the society.

Buildings – new or old ones need to become intelligent and connected very quickly in the evolving Smart Cities. It is just like, in internet era- someone not connected to the internet. Easiest way to achieve is to use IT infrastructure to become the driver for the connected mechanical and electrical devices. Once basic connected infrastructure is in place; rest is software- like mobile Apps- go on adding whatever your building needs or aspires

Communities is an amalgamation of many brains and points of view working together towards a cause. The act of sharing empowers practice that can turn into a source of motivation, inspiration, learning and innovation Let’s us start, making it happen together through community like INBAC.

Smart spaces tend to improve your life without interfering with your life. The network of devices and the data generated throws key insights into how People, Space and Things are interacting. This data allows building managers to identify ways to improve efficiency, provide safety and comfort while personalizing and enhancing occupant experience.

Now a days BMS is not only for monitor and control the MEP system from BMS room in traditional way, it’s becoming more advance with the help of IOT platform to connect multiple location buildings and able to focus on Energy analytics, compare buildings energy and various data, FDD, predictive maintenance, smart reporting /alarm with recomm.and workspace management to enables automation, integration, benchmarking and analysis to empower your organization’s digital transformation journey.

As market opens up to new technologies ,delivery of key client goals without compromising core functionalities and keeping optimal life cycle costing is the challenge.

Watching and documenting the global growth and use of BACnet over the last 22 years has been one of my greatest joys. Here is a bit of his story and mine, my friend and friend of the industry Mike Newman https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/h-michael-newman-hisstory-mine-ken-sinclair/?trk=mp-reader-card If you search our site for BACnet http://automatedbuildings.com/search/sitesearch.htm It returns over 2900 links to BACnet stories. Applauding the work of INBAC well done

Experience, discussion and collaboration are fundamental for mankind’s development. But in the digital age there are no castles, ancient cities or monuments that carry the values of our civilisation through time. In the digital age, there are associations such as INBAC that allow experiences to be shared through discussion, collaboration and therefore contribute to the evolution of our civilisation. Thank you for this initiative which helps to bring our buildings into the digital age.

I believe the core purpose of building automation is to achieve the best possible occupant experience in the most sustainable and least possible costs. It can be achieved using connected building, IoT applications. To make most out of such applications we need to rely on OPEN and INTEROPERABLE, protocols or systems. This will enable user to move on from being SMART to INTELLIGENT. Let’s us make it happen using community like INBAC, which is the need of today for sustainability.

Automation is not only about replacing human efforts with machines but much beyond that. A smart, automated building provides various benefits like luxury and comfort, simplifying human activities thus reducing operational cost and saving considerable time. It helps in efficient handling of equipment thus preventing wear & tear and increasing overall lifespan of an equipment. Most importantly energy efficient buildings leads to substantial cost savings in the longer run.

Building Automation today has gone far ahead than just integration of all the sub systems connected in the building for comfort and ease of people in it. Now it focuses more on sustainability, energy efficiency, predictivity and environmental friendliness.

BAS a building tool , that started as a conservative ,the computer networked, distributed control system has matured in today’s world to be smart, interoperable, interconnected ,transparent, scalable with Open architecture , with a library of digital services , independent of the technical components but with transparent interoperability that opens up novel prospects for the smart, augmented building . With it BAS has moved from PC based monitoring to a “Ready2Services”application.

Brain is to the Central Nervous System as Building Automation is to current day Modern Infrastructure.

I truly believe it is high time all the stakeholders come together to educate, spread awareness about interoperability, open standards etc. Everybody has to take responsibility to take this industry to the next level in terms of basic understanding on SOPs, best practises, technology and ensure the tag “BMS never works” is a thing of the past. Iam grateful to INBAC of kickstarting this initiative and iam so hopeful that we will see success. Thanks.

Best of luck … its great act…dr. sakhee
