HVAC Building Automation Systems (BAS) or Direct Digital Controls (DDC) is pretty much one in the same. Basically described BAS and DDC is combining air conditioning, heating, ventilation, lighting, electrical loads, security systems, and life and safety systems to a computer and complex algorithms for better control over the systems and to offer higher efficiency levels that could not otherwise be achieved without computer control.

Modern buildings use DDC controls for building automation systems. Building automation systems offer energy savings because they are energy management systems. These systems allow management to automatically control many processes involved with HVAC systems, lighting, and emergency systems.

HVAC Systems – All processes are automatic and set to a DDC program in the controls. This is done by a computer and proprietary software and hardware. There are three distinct protocols which are shared by different manufacturers so systems can be intermixed. Outside air and humidity can be read and applied to energy saving programs within the BAS system. Thermostat set points can be restricted preventing occupants from adjusting the thermostats outside of the restricted range. Schedules can be set into the DDC program so in unoccupied times all non-essential HVAC Systems shutdown.
