Buildings evolve and are transformed over decades. They need flexible systems that are
designed to adapt to changing technologies and user demands. That is why the choice of a
commmunications bus system such as LON is of such
long-term importance.
LON-based building management systems provide tremendous advantages to everyone
involved:
Architects:
• The technical demands on building systems can be satisfied in a simpler, more flexible and
cost-effective way.
• Control and display devices with bus capability combine all the functions of the different
installation systems and at
the same time provide a visually appealing design.
Builders and Operators:
• A cost-effective installation
• A high degree of flexibility, and financial savings, when the installation needs to be
retrofitted or modified
• Reduction of operating costs by intelligent facility management
• “Transparency” of buildings by centralised annunciation, control
and monitoring
• Standardised and easily comprehensible operation of the facilities
• Reduction of maintenance and
service costs
Planners and Installers:
• Prevention of installation and planning mistakes thanks to an easy and comprehensible
installation procedure
• Lower installation costs, in comparison to isolated solutions
• Facilitates compliance with regulations by reducing the risk of fire
• Reduced production costs due to the multiple use of sensors and the elimination of
expensive gateway solutions for data exchange between individual systems
• Reduced training costs
