The trend is towards building modernization to improve comfort, security and efficiency. As a result, the installation of a technological infrastructure is increasingly becoming the most important source of competitive advantage. This generates wide-ranging opportunities for house and building automation.

The optimisation of building management is now made possible through the intelligent interplay of systems and components that are functionally linked through automation. Building automation systems and innovative solutions in measurement, regulation and control technology represent a significant element in interdisciplinary systems technology. Successful networking requires integrative design proposals that enable the integration of all disciplines at an early stage.
