Abstract

As urbanization accelerates, modern high-rise structures are becoming increasingly prevalent, necessitating sophisticated approaches to manage energy consumption and operational efficiency. Building Automation Systems (BAS) offer a promising solution by integrating advanced control technologies to optimize various building functions, including HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), lighting, security, and other critical systems. This paper investigates the role of BAS in enhancing both energy efficiency and operational efficiency in contemporary high-rise buildings. We explore the technological advancements in BAS, including sensors, actuators, and IoT (Internet of Things) devices, and analyze their impact on energy consumption reduction and operational cost savings. Furthermore, the paper presents case studies demonstrating the successful implementation of BAS in high-rise structures, highlighting significant energy savings and improved building performance. We also discuss the challenges associated with BAS adoption, such as integration with legacy systems, cybersecurity concerns, and the need for skilled personnel. The findings suggest that BAS can lead to energy savings of up to 30% and operational cost reductions of approximately 20%, making them a critical component of sustainable urban development. Future research directions include the development of more intelligent and adaptive BAS solutions, integration with renewable energy systems, and enhancing interoperability across different building management platforms.
