Building Automation Systems Basics Lesson 2 - Site Overview BAS 101 system training 

The amount of effort put in making this video is tremendous. Kudos to you!!

HVACR tech here. The clearest, most effective explanation ever given thus far. Appreciate the knowledge

Thank you so much for your help ... I am possibly going into an entry level position in BAS & I love that you showed viewers actual hardware and not just pictures of hardware.

These videos are great I have been in residential hvac for 20 years.Iam now trying to broaden my horizons and become familiar with BAS your videos are very easy to understand and informative .I went from being intimidated to feeling very confident this is something I can learn and become efficient at working with .Now to the next video thank you again.

Excellent Presentation. The walk through of the real world applications and installation brought it all together. Thank you.

Thank you for the visual with the theory. I can’t wait to see more I’m learning so much better with your illustration

I'm an electrician by trade, have been for the last 15 years or so. I've never got into the BAS controls aspect in the field. But i'm starting to realize that it would be immensely useful to know as much as possible about BAS. It would be beneficial to me and also I've been curious for quite some time now on how it all functions. Your video's are helping a lot. I've started from the first lesson and plan on taking it as far as you go. I became a subscriber today and hope you keep the videos coming. Thanks once again for your valuable time.

Thank you. I am a Director at a Condo and was told that we needed a BAS upgrade. Your video gave me the background that I can now have a meaningful discussion with the Property Manager and Contractors.

Matt just getting started in the subject, AWESOME video!!! It is very helpful to see the actual site and equipment makes understanding the material MUCH easier. Thanks again.

Hello sir, I'm 3 weeks into a BMS system as a Automation Engineer, even though my experience mainly is field work with oil and gas , power gen and automation robotics, the troubleshooting that I've done is what has helped me transition to new automated systems . I went from PLC'S TO, node based architecture, in short your video I've watched at the end of my 3 weeks so far. Its perfect. Good pace, you choose a project that has all the components I deal with now. Thank you. BTW great simulator in lesson 3 . I used to build those.

Great video! We all appreciate your contribution to both the Industry, and the people sitting at home trying to proactively learn this information.

great video, thank you v much. seeing the visuals from in person, then to the online program connects the dots very well. thank you

Hi Matt, Yes, I did learn something from the video. For example, section 12.11 - 13.19, where the field installed BAS was shown and how they are fed and connected. Please, do continue to share your knowledge, I really appreciate it. Many, many thanks.

Great introduction to system flow and the different components that are monitored in a typical BAS system!

I'm starting to learn on this field. I've been HVAC master technician for a wile and I have serviced units controlled by DDC and neumatics controls... But, the software and logic of it all, is something that I'm learning right now. I really appreciate your series because it's helping me with the understanding of DDC and how it all connects together.

Great video, look forward to seeing more. Very helpful!

Thank you so much for these videos. I'm overseas working on a BAS system and I just got thrown into the fire, so to speak. These videos are extremely informative and I've already learned a lot. You're a life saver!

I work in a utility energy efficiency program. I have a broad energy background but little to no technical background. I am watching your series now and this second video was very helpful to make the connections from what I learned in a HVAC principles course to what is in the field. Looking forward to continuing!

New in the business as a Project Manager. The visual mechanical and the explanation/technical are spot on. Keep on doing what you are doing. Thank you!

Great video! I'm currently recruiting for a Building Automation company in Connecticut and I had no idea what I was recruiting for until I saw this video, thanks

Excellent presentation. I work in cyber security and have to evaluate SCADA systems in my work so these videos are extremely helpful. The detail is excellent.

Thankyou for putting this together for us. It is really helping with my understanding. I really appreciate your efforts. Thankyou kindly.

This was so helpful! More sites would be awesome! schematics and cut sheets were great!

This has been very helpful. Keep the DDC videos coming!

Great Work. Looking forward to more videos.

Thank you so much for this, I have been thinking of getting into BAS, I started HVAC 2 yrs ago but I want to move on to controls. Your explanations and visuals were great and on point. This just helped motivate me even more to take the leap.

Excellent presentation. I am working in a huge building and it is very interesting to recognize the differents component of a BAS. Actually we called it BMS.

Good stuff. TAB guy here. Those systems look incredibly cleanly installed. Afraid out here on the westcoast, everything is a hackjob. Thanks for the video

Thanks a lot for taking the time out of your day to make this video. This was the most insightful intro to BAS video ive seen as we got to see the real life installation and equipment in action, juxtaposed to the schematic and head-end graphics, rather than just a classroom based video like most of the others ive seen. Im hoping to get into the BAS industry in a few years after i finish my HVAC apprenticeship so a video like this is really helpful. Im definitely looking forward to seeing more of your other sites and their BAS systems like this one and then maybe after that a intro vid explaining the different communication protocols and how they work. Also great job in explaining/teaching, cheers!

Just getting started in the industry, thanks for taking the time to put together the content. I appreciate your hard work.

This was very helpful. I'm currently training to be a HVAC Tech but definitely working towards BAS. I would like to see more of these videos. Hopefully following how to troubleshoot common issues.

This was really helpfull.. keeping adding site videos. Cheers

Excellent practical explanation , keep be the best.

Thanks Boss... Its very helpful for Site Overview ...Please do carry on your style of knoledge sharing...!!! Love You Man...!!!

Very helpful. I am doing my first steps in the BAS and need to learn more about it. I appreciate much how devices are connected physically.

Just wanted to take time & thank you for doing all of this! I just recently graduated from an HVAC trade school and started doing my own research on DDC. This is extremely helpful!

Thank you man! Very helpful video!

This fall semester I am taking Building Automation classes for Certificate. This was informative and gave me a good overview of what to expect and prepare for..Great Video

I really appreciate your time explaining the systems. Amazing work.

Excellent. Thanks alot for the video. Made me understood the system much better

Your doing a amazing job keep it up 👍🏽

This is great I learned a lot keep posting these new videos

Thank you for the HUGE effort

Thank you for the video. A great help in understanding the system.

Great video! I'm a visual learner and I would say is that looking at the actual hardware installed on the end application and review of the schematics could be very helpful to understand and absorb all this information. Usually, schematics is the language we use to communicate this information. Also, selecting the hardware based on the application could be something the potentially will help people to narrow hardware options.

You just made understanding BAS more easier than before

this is great.. im about to go into my second building controls job .. after taking a break and working on residential air equiptment , i just wanted a refresher to everything... and this brought me right back to the job site... very cool

Very helpful video my friend! 👍🏻

Great overview!

Awesome video, a friend of mine put me onto your content. Personally I would love to see some fault finding and diagnosis. Keep up the great work mate 👏🏼👍🏼👌🏼

Helpful! Thanks man! would be nice to see the work that goes into putting it all together and getting it running!

REALLY INFORMATIVE VIDEO KEEP POSTING VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE REALLY GOOD EXPLANATIONS THANK YOU SOO MUCH

Thank you, Excellent work.

That was extremeely helpful LA

Nice work again. I would like to see some DDC Controller troubleshooting videos.

please keep making this videos as i m second year apprentice. it is really helpful.

Great video !

Very helpful. Thank you!

This video is definitely one of the best BAS videos in RU-vid ! !!!!!!!!!! It is better than the video clips from youtuber THE ENGIEERING MINDSET.

Thanks so much, this is interview prep for me!

Starting my BAS co-op for school on Monday. This gave me alittle more insight on what to expect. Wish me luck!!!!

I like the controller wiring with the sensors/status and control outputs. Simple and effective graphic presentation very neat.

Thanks for your video series, Matt. I'm new to building automation, but as I design/build my new semi-passive heating house, plus pool and pool house, and farm outbuildings (some of which will be heated), I want to incorporate as much automation and internet-based control as possible. I'll spend winters where there are palm trees, and want to be able to have full monitoring and control using the internet. Your videos are a great introduction.

Man... you're nothing short of Amazing

Thanks for such series. I am a first year HVAC student. I am planing to make my career in HVAC controls. These videos are really helpful.

Tysm really helpful! And showing us the real thing really helped!

Thank u very much for showing actual site

Very useful information.. Thanks for sharing

Really useful, much appreciated

Keep up the good work!

This is helpful. I am new to the hvacr industry and am trying to learn more about building automation systems and controls and this is helpful so that I have a frame of reference for what other people are talking about

Hi Matt, thanks for making this video and the actual controls. I would like to see how the whole system works (drawing/animation) and the actual to fully understand for both mechanical and controls.

good job! thank you! that is so much better than sitting in the classroom! ^^b

Well explained ✌️🏽

Thanks a lot.. I gained a lot from this video

Great Presentation

Your awesome keep it up bro I appreciate your knowledgeable content

that was helpful, thanks very much.

Great video 👏👏👏

Very helpful ..thnks and keep going..

Great video.... definitely helpful... I would like to see problems you run into and how you diagnose...

thank you so much Matt

Thank you, very well done. I'd like to see, a replacement of a valve, or processor that's bad. How to shut down water flow, kill power to system, that kind of stuff! Again, Very well done.

Matt, this is a great lesson, helps to relate paper symbols to real world applications. Very useful to have visuals, for the new guys just coming into the field.

Thank you so much for your help

Hi! I just got out of the military and I got accepted for a job at Siemens working with BAS.I did nuclear / electrical work inside the navy. I'm following these videos along with videos from Engineering mindset and wanted to let you know that these videos are great. If there's other references you would recommend I would appreciate it!

This was great.

Great Video. Need more videos showing the field devices to jace termination from start to finish. Am new to BAS. Want to pursue a career on this.

Thank you for great videos! I would like to ask if it is possible to show how to start chillers, boilers, pump and etc... basically, all the major equipment if possible.

Hello it was awesome 👏 . need more about how to solve problems , thanks a loot dobson .... I'm Saud from Saudi Arabia

This was very helpful , Project Manager

Im now 1year into my role now Lead Automation Engineer, BMS / Insight/ Desigo - PLC/BMS /Apogee integration. Completed Siemens PPCL /Desigo Courses - And this is still my favorite video . I watched it again and now understand so much more. I decided in the last year to get hands on training with my company's amazing facilities crew and have learned so much about systematically approaching the troubleshooting scenarios together we solved many issues . As I have learned from them I have shared techniques from BMS systems with them to troubleshoot. Your video really has helped me gain confidence as well in the way you explained an actual site . Do you have trouble shooting scenarios videos, or some you recommend?

good video,it was helpful

Your video was very helpful. You was able to tie the HVAC equipment on site with the design and show how the BAS can be setup to monitor the facility. Your video makes sense of our field. I will ask if you can do this with a bigger facility showing the PLC control panel with a Siemens, Schneider or Rockwell. Thank you

Great video-thanks for going through this stuff. Can you please go through the commissioning process for the LONworks protocol? Maybe talk about LONworks vs. BACnet?

Awesome video explained it well maybe you can make another one with Johnson and what signals it sends is it 1-10vdc etc. also if you could do a video of sequence of operations. Thanks bud I greatly appreciate your hard work and dedication!

Pretty cool thinking of applying for a BAS position in NC

this is a great... thanks man ..it would really help if you explain more about controller signals and what is the controllers points means . In futre maybe you can teach as about programming of controller logic gates

Very informative video, puts the BAS into real World perspective. Do you also have projects with chillers or rooftop units? Keep up the excellent work

Thanks for the practical videos make more videos
