Abstract
Computerized facilities automation and energy management systems can be used to maintain high levels of facilities operations efficiencies.
The monitoring capabilities provides the current equipment and process status, and the analysis capabilities can help pinpoint the equipment performance level and variations.
The arithmetic and logic capabilities can be used to generate sophisticated and interactive control strategies. The communications capabilities provide management information through use of terminals, displays, printed reports and graphics. The keyboard function allows a wide range of operator inquiries and commands.
