Talk:Building automation

message: It also describes the automation of hospitals, clean rooms, universities, high rise buildings, government buildings, water treatment facilities, etc.

Building automation is a generic term. It describes the automation of an industrial building (block of offices, shop floor, parking garage, etc.) or an apartment complex.
It is usually in reference to a commercial operation. Home automation describes the automation of a single apartment or house only. Home automation technology is usually somewhat different. This is in part due to the difference in the type of equipment being operated as well as the voltage of electric current being supplied to the two differing types of structures. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.105.155.197 (talk • contribs) 
:: Good point. While building automation and home automation may share some technologies, home automation has concerns that are largely unique from building automation (e.g. home theater setup, window-blind automation, mood-lighting, etc). I will remove the merge request from Home automation <--> Building automation. (I will still keep a merge request for other articles such as Intelligent building, since they can be split amongst the two main articles. -- Eptin 08:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Home automation and domatics are now merged. I think room automation would be merged with intelligent building, it´s an office automation, no home automaion --HybridBoy 06:03, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

message: What should we do with these "Association" links? Do they count as commercial links (and therefore, as possible advertisement), or are they in the clear? I am not an expert, but they do not appear to contribute anything useful to the article. --Eptin 19:28, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think a professional association dealing with the topic at hand is basically an as an "official" of a site as we can get for a topic such as building automation. Therefore, I think the links are notable and meet our guidelines. I moved one association link that dealt with HVAC to the main HVAC article. Having these links in the article doesn't bother me, but if you think they are not informative or educational, or they seem too commercial, I wouldn't mind their removal either.-Andrew c 19:48, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Unclear Descriptions

message: The paragrapgh describing disaster response mechanisms should be deleted because it has nothing to do with Building Managament Systems. The paragraph refers to floating buildings whereas Building Management Systems are compturised control and monitoring systems which are electronic and software in nature. It looks as if it has been inserted just because the article refers to Buildings. I am new to Wikipedia so have chosen not to make the deletion myself, but request this be done.
