The rapid evolution of Building Automation Systems (BAS) has paralleled, and then converged with advancements in the Information Technology industry. The changes and open standards in the BAS world have brought new value for building owners with greater opportunities for energy savings, lower equipment lifecycle costs, improved occupant comfort and security, and more efficient systems maintenance. This integration with everything IT and the Internet of Things / Smart Buildings involve “new” conversations with stakeholders that may have not been involved before, a converged approach to implementation of projects, and has introduced the complications of cybersecurity into the BAS ecosphere.
