Building Technology

Automating buildings relies on performing a series of very similar tasks. All the various building systems, such as lighting, shades, heating, air-conditioning and ventilation, require control and regulation. WAGO is launching its “Application Building Control“ to fulfill these tasks. This software can be put to work without any programming.

Building automation focuses on providing optimal lighting and climate control in rooms based on their specific uses. This goal means that the lighting, air-conditioning and shade control systems must work together perfectly. The controller executes specific actions based on both the operator’s specifications and inputs, which can come from switches, presence detectors, room thermostats or a weather station, for example. Although these processes lend themselves to standardization, most solutions to date have required custom programming. In contrast, WAGO provides you with a ready-made application solution.

“Building Automation and Control Networks” (BACnet) is a data transfer protocol for building automation and control. BACnet simplifies communication between products from different manufacturers within building automation.

KNX is a uniform, manufacturer-independent communication protocol for intelligently networking state-of-the-art home and building system technologies. KNX is used to plan and control energy-efficient solutions for more functionality and convenience while simultaneously reducing energy costs.
