Abstract
This article deals with the considerations of installing and operating a Facilities Automation System on a major university campus. It addresses a variety of issues, from the basic questions of what the system requirements are, to examples of what was actually done on one campus. This system is used more than a building automation system-it is becoming a Utilities Management system. This article is written from the perspective of the building owner, the facilities management team faced with the challenges of putting an appropriate system in place and then using it to deliver results. It also addresses the reality that technology is advancing, and addresses the transition from a 1970's vintage system to a system that can carry us into the 21st century. It poses issues to consider, and then it uses the actual course of events to illustrate one real world example.
