The "Building Automation System" is one of the most important and critical assets in the building.

The Automation needs effective and reliable maintenance, the system also needs the patience and skills which come from years of experience in knowing holistic consequences of changes in the building A classic example is a minor change in a set point.
This minor alteration can cost money, both directly and indirectly, as the change may bring on the chillers earlier than required, adding to energy costs and consequently having an adverse effect on the NABERS assessment, consequently having an adverse affect on value and lease opportunities.
