Advanced building automation systems require real-time monitoring and control of building facilities. In order to manage building systems efficiently, a wide variety of building-related information needs to be collected, stored, and analyzed. As the demands on building facilities and services have increased, the use of distributed, microprocessor-based control systems has become widespread (Newman 1994).
