Building Controls

Building Controls is a systematic framework of technologies, algorithms, and operational strategies within the built environment that regulates energy flows and environmental conditions in buildings by dynamically monitoring and adjusting heating, cooling, lighting, and ventilation systems to optimize energy efficiency and occupant comfort, particularly in the context of achieving net-zero energy performance.
