CoSponsor: 1.5 Computer Applications
Building automation systems are evolving and specifications need to adapt for advances in fault diagnostics, advanced control sequences, smart grid, and methods how to secure them. This session presents the panel’s views on how specifying engineers can improve, secure and enhance new and existing control systems. It highlights efforts of ASHRAE Guideline 13 to stay relevant, include specification language and guidance and provide future specifiers background needed to set the roles and responsibilities without being an expert in those advanced fields. This should be an informative discussion ending with questions to tie it together.
1 Advanced Control Sequences
This presentation examines the scope of Guideline 36 and the research agenda that will fuel its content over the near term. He will also address the integration of Guidline 36 with Guideline 13..
2 Fault Detection and Diagnostics
Discuss aspects of Fault Detection and Diagnostics and how SGPC 13 is moving towards providing guidance and references for the specifier to adopt the technology in their automation projects.
3 Cyber Security
Discuss views on how buildings can, should, and will be more secure and where the convergence of access and risk align for Cyber Security and how SGPC 13 is moving towards providing guidance and references for the specifier to adopt the technologies in their automation projects.
