A building control system, usually operated using a control panel, is a way of bringing all aspects of a building’s functional processes into one place. This makes it more convenient and also more secure, especially if you choose a bespoke system that has specific security settings programmed in.

A control system can be designed to control everything inside a building. They are most often used in commercial buildings, where there are multiple systems to control and administer. These can all be linked together to create one larger system that is run from one central place.

Some of the systems that can be controlled within a building control system are climate, security, day to day maintenance and any more specific systems that are used in a building. These could be very diverse in their scope, as a building that requires a control system is probably commercial and may be used for various purposes.
