By Thomas Trang“Who do you think you are?”This question, once directed at me during a professional exchange, was meant to challenge my voice as a frontline technician. But it became a defining moment—one that led me to embrace not only my role but my identity, vision, and voice in the evolving landscape of Facilities Management (FM), Building Automation Systems (BAS), and Building Knowledge Management/Hub (BKH). My Vietnamese name, Tuấn, carries the history of my origin and early life.

In facility management, especially within HVAC and Building Automation Systems (BAS), the difference between a well-functioning system and one plagued by false alarms often comes down to how well we understand and configure two core parameters: Deadband and Time Delay. These features are not just settings buried in software — they are decision-making rules. They tell the system when to speak up and when to stay quiet.

Building Automation Systems (BAS) are the cornerstone of facility management in the modern era of smart buildings and energy efficiency. Control points, the critical nodes of these systems, act as the sensory and operational interfaces that facilitate the seamless interplay between technology and human expertise. Grasping the complexities of these control points is not merely a technical necessity; it is a strategic advantage that can redefine how workplaces function.
