The Importance of Energy Efficiency in Building Design

Energy efficiency is no longer just an option in building design, but a necessity. In fact, it often ranks as the third most significant cost, following only people and property. This makes it crucial to optimise your buildings for energy efficiency.
 
Building automation and monitoring systems are an essential part of this optimisation strategy. They incorporate hardware and software, including sensors, switches, and programmable interfaces. These systems not only provide a historical record of usage but also deliver valuable data that can signal areas for continual improvement.
