The term BAS stands for Building Automation Systems. Such a system is installed in a high-performance building during construction. A BAS system allows the building to be more energy efficient. The system will also be used to monitor the structure and ensure all components are working properly. Building Automation Systems also provide data which can be used to show how high-performance buildings work. This helps to see financing offered to companies that want to construct such facilities.

The term HVAC stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, a system used to control the temperature in a space as well as humidity and quality of air. In a big building, the system needs to be able to function based on comfort need as well as meet the size of the space. The HVAC system must transfer heat and moisture into and out of the air to control the temperature level, as well as the level of air pollutants. This is done by removing the pollutants directly or by diluting them.
