Abstract

Building automation is realised by means of a real time information system for supervision and control of central heating, electrical lighting, acces, and energy consumption. All these elements will provide security and confort to a modern building. The system has been developed as part of a research work carried out at Real Time Systems Laboratory of the Research Institute for Informatics in Bucharest. The system is supported by a real-time architecture RT-ARCH. On implementing the system, an IBM PC 486 running unde Windows NT operating system and a network of PLC-s were used. This application is characterised by an object oriented approach.
