LA-74-09-1 — Energy Saving Applications for Computerized Automation

Click here to purchase

There are three major areas of computerized automation application which can contribute significantly to energy savings in buildings and building complexes: 1. simplified and more meaningful operator interface; 2. equipment maintenance scheduling and direction; and 3. automatic control functions. Before discussing any of these applications, I want to clear the air of the preconceived notion that a $100,000 processor or even a $50,000 processor is required to implement anything of significance. While it is true that a processor can cost $100,000 or even more, it is not true that such a processor is required to implement the majority of the routines which provide the greatest savings. Computerized automation is within economically justifiable reach of the surprisingly small building. This is, however, a rather recent development.
