As an industry leader, in Technologies specialises in building management,
home and industrial automation and high-tech motion control products.
We provide components and solutions for smarter building and resource management, with a
focus on infrastructure and spatial organisation. These products range from natural ventilation
and smoke evacuation systems to automation for doors, windows and skylights.
Our linear and chain actuators are used for a variety of other applications which include
locking mechanisms for electronic safes, electronic height adjustment for desks,
adjustment and positioning in machinery and civil works, automatic gates, automatic
valve operation and a multitude of other functions

Every day we hear more and more about the negative effects of climate change and the efforts for
creating a sustainable environment. One of these efforts is making buildings more friendly for
the environment and people that occupy it by incorporating a building automation system.
BAS is an intelligent system of both hardware and software, connecting heating, venting and air conditioning system
(HVAC), lighting, security, and other systems to communicate on a single platform. This way the automation system
is delivering you crucial information on the operational performance of a building as well as enhancing the safety
and comfort of the occupants.
Usually, these types of automation systems are installed in brand new buildings or as part of a retrofitting process
of an old building. The main purposes of building automation systems are reducing energy consumption, reducing
maintenance costs, improving occupants’ comfort and productivity, and extending the life cycle of the utilities.
Modern BAS is equipped with many sensors and meters that provide many benefits not just for the building owners in terms of higher energy efficiency and maintenance costs, but for all employees and occupants of the building in terms of increased productivity and comfort. We divided the benefits into 3 major categories:
Even though implementing a BAS is a very expensive project, properly used one pays for itself
over time by lowering the maintenance costs and utility bills. There are many studies that show
by allowing BAS to monitor and adjust the HVAC system according to the occupancy, there can be
cost savings from 10-30 percent.
When the use of every piece of equipment is optimized, it’s lifespan increases,
which result in more indirect savings.
Another important financial aspect is increasing the building’s overall value. Firstly,
implementing a BAS is adding to the property’s value. Secondly, by offering better comfort
as well as being more environmentally friendly, smart buildings are more attractive to tenants.
This may result in higher rents.
Smart buildings tend to have fewer carbon footprints making them more sustainable and energy-efficient, which opens the door for receiving certifications, such as LEED, Energy Star, or Tenant Star. Many building owners are particularly interested in having a portfolio of energy-efficient buildings.
Even though the occupant’s comfort can’t be presented in numbers, that doesn’t mean that
should not be taken into account.
The biggest benefit of having an automated HVAC system is having proper temperature in
winter and summer by regulating the temperature before anyone arrives in the building and
after everyone leaves. Properly configured BAS can help to build operators to avoid unpleasant
calls of employees feeling too hot or too cold,
Another benefit that contributes to the occupants’ comfort is the ability to maximize the
use of natural light, then to regulate the amount of fresh air in the building and more.
Usually, when people start feeling sleepy and lethargic it’s because of the lack of fresh air and oxygen.
