Summary

An introduction and seven-part review of the current state of the art with different levels and types of building control systems. 1. Integration of different systems with the related terminal, mixed logic, protocol and legal problems. 2. The development of custom-built hardware and software gateways as an interim method for the integration of related tasks. 3. International progress towards standardization of both communication and interpretation of BEMS signals. The market may make a choice before the various standard committees reach a conclusion. 4. Success of a BEMS should start from a precise systems engineering approach to the building requirements and this developed into a specification, schematics, schedules and flow charts before interpreting them as actual equipment. 5. The need for the commissioning process to be planned at an early stage and completed methodically. 6. Progress with logic and neural based fault detection. 7. Use of neural networks for condition monitoring and operation. A.R.T.
