The BAS Training Program was created by the Association of Control Professional with the support of the Siemens Foundation to address the growing shortage of skilled workers needed by the energy efficiency industry to maintain high performance buildings at peak efficiency. The BAS Training Program is available as a two-year Associate Degree program or as shorter stackable Certificate Programs. It leverages an investment in state-of-the-art instructional equipment, open-source software and dedicated classrooms to deliver a best in category instructional experience to learners.

The Energy Worker in the Smart Era.

To become less costly, more resilient and less harmful to the environment, energy generation, distribution and consumption must become more intelligent. The movement towards smarter buildings and a smarter grid has created a need for a new occupational ecosystem. This new profession needs expertise in computer science, electrical and mechanical engineering.

BAS Technicians are in high demand as more high-performance buildings are brought online.

You have an opportunity to advance quickly earning good entry level salaries with high future income potential!

“The Siemens Foundation is advancing its mission to narrow the opportunity gap for young people in the United States in STEM careers by launching a new workforce training program to fill skilled positions in the intelligent buildings industry in collaboration with Siemens Building Technologies and the Association of Controls Professionals (ACP).

Together, the organizations will create community college training programs and develop career pathways into local K-12 systems, both aligned to new, non-proprietary industry certifications under development by ACP. This innovative program will focus on reaching traditionally underserved or underrepresented student communities and providing them the opportunity to excel in a software-driven field.”

The development of career pathways from K-12 through community college, leading to high-quality certificate, will help address this gap and grow the diversity of individual who have an opportunity to receive training, compete for these jobs and earn a competitive salary.

In the evolving world of building technology, the combination of Audio trends and Building Automation Systems presents great opportunities. Let’s explore how we can harness the AV trends to enhance BAS:

AI-Powered Automation

The implementation of AI-driven technologies in AV is revolutionizing how systems respond to user behavior and environmental conditions. By integrating AI into BAS we enable buildings to learn and adapt, optimizing energy usage and creating environments for occupants.

Voice and Gesture Controls

Controlling AV systems has become more intuitive with the advent of voice assistants and gesture recognition. By extending these interfaces to BAS occupants can effortlessly interact with their surroundings adjusting lighting, climate control, and through spoken commands or gestures.

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality

Immersive technologies like AR and VR are not limited to entertainment anymore. They can be effectively utilized in building design and maintenance processes. This includes features such as walkthroughs, real-time data overlays, and training simulations for BAS technicians.

Energy Efficiency through AV Analytics

Advanced AV systems now offer robust analytics capabilities that provide insights into usage patterns and equipment performance. When integrated with BAS this data empowers building managers to make decisions based on data for optimizing energy consumption.

Cybersecurity and Network Convergence

As AV systems become increasingly interconnected it is crucial to prioritize cybersecurity measures to ensure protection against threats. By utilizing the up-to-date practices, in AV cybersecurity BAS can experience the advantages of a network infrastructure that protects against potential threats.
