BAM 104: What are control sequences

The Smart Buildings Academy Podcast | Teaching You Building Automation, Systems Integration, and Information Technology

Have you ever stopped and thought about why we control systems the way we do?

Folks often ask me, "Phil, what is the number one thing a BAS professional needs to know".

Without any hesitation, my answer is Control Sequences. At the time I'm writing this I've had the honor of helping dozens of managers and owners of BAS companies create effective training programs for their employees. Without question, the number one course that these managers and owners are looking for is a training program that discusses control sequences.

Why is this?

This is because understanding control sequences is core to every other BAS function, bar none. That's why I'm starting a multi-week series where I will be discussing control sequences. This is the first episode of the series and in this episode, you will learn:

► What control sequences are and where they reside ► The three-step process for working through control sequences ► Why focusing on sequence flow is critical to success ► How to understand a sequence no matter how complex it is
