Over the past 30 years controls have advanced from nearly 100% pneumatic controls (which were interoperable), to proprietary DDC controls, to the current day of integrated building systems that use open protocols (BACnet, LON, MODBUS). This has presented a challenge to the engineering community. Specifications today must not only address factory and field mounted control systems; they must provide sequences of operation for traditional HVAC systems, new green technologies, building energy use optimization, and predictive control strategies; they must specify graphical user interfaces, including dashboards and educational kiosks; they must address network communication and response speeds; and they must span the specification sections within the plan and spec documents that include the building systems integrated into the building automation system.
