Abstract
This research delves into the imperative realm of enhancing energy efficiency within Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems by harnessing the capabilities of building automation. While HVAC systems are vital for maintaining optimal indoor comfort, they often contribute significantly to energy consumption. Building automation stands out as a strategic solution, optimizing HVAC operations based on real-time data, occupancy patterns, and external conditions. This paper scrutinizes the current landscape of energy efficiency in HVAC systems, delineates the role of building automation, and elucidates the manifold benefits of integrating smart technologies in both commercial and residential buildings. In the pursuit of sustainable and energy-efficient building practices, this research examines the intricate relationship between HVAC systems and building automation technologies. It emphasizes the critical need to address energy consumption challenges associated with HVAC systems, considering both environmental impacts and economic considerations. The investigation encompasses an in-depth analysis of the current state of energy efficiency in HVAC systems, shedding light on prevalent inefficiencies and challenges faced by traditional systems. As a solution, building automation emerges as a transformative force, utilizing advanced control strategies and real-time insights to optimize HVAC operations.
