The benefits of using wireless technology with BAS jump out in retrofit projects. It’s fairly easy to understand how eliminating the need to run wire, and potentially, conduit in an existing facility (where walls and ceilings are closed and tenants are already occupying the space) is beneficial. But what about using wireless for new construction projects? Does wireless provide tangible benefits in projects where running wire may not be that difficult because walls and ceilings are still open and tenants have yet to move in?
The answer is an emphatic yes. Although not all of the benefits for using wireless in a retrofit project may exist, new construction projects do present unique challenges that wireless technology can help resolve.
