DDC application engineers have a brave new world of topics to explore and familiarize themselves with as they intuit what owners really need and deliver designs for the solution.
Building automation systems (BASs) and open-source software are two areas of interest for me, so I’d like to share some thoughts on how they intersect, at least from the exposure I’ve had to them.
I’m still amazed to think of the effects that one inexpensive sensor’s reading could have on such an expensive and complicated building. I’m even more amazed to think of the dumb luck I had to be around when it happened.
Every time a new sensor is put into a building, whether for IAQ or occupancy (which have grown in popularity in the past year) or anything else, there is a new stream of data to track, analyze, and manage.
