ARLINGTON, Va. — The availability of information about relevant events “as they occur” could provide benefits in the operation and maintenance of commercial buildings, according to the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology Institute’s 21st Century Research (ARTI 21-CR) program.
The group recently released a report called “Integration of Real-Time Data into Building Automation Systems,” which suggests that these applications might contribute to cost control, maintaining indoor comfort, or the possibility of ensuring more reliable and safe operation.
