If one controller fails, the others continue to operate autonomously, preventing the entire building from being affected. <\/li>\n<li>Scalability and Flexibility: It is easier to expand or modify the system. New equipment or sensors can be easily added to the network without redesigning the entire architecture. Thus, the building can evolve over time at lower costs.  <\/li>\n<li>Performance e Resposta R\u00e1pida: Decis\u00f5es locais significam tempos de resposta mais r\u00e1pidos. Por exemplo, um sensor de presen\u00e7a pode comunicar diretamente com o controlador de climatiza\u00e7\u00e3o local para ajustar a temperatura de imediato, sem aguardar instru\u00e7\u00f5es de um servidor central. Essa rea\u00e7\u00e3o pronta melhora o conforto e poupa energia.  <\/li>\n<li>Interoperability and Integration: Distributed architectures use open protocols (BACnet, KNX, Modbus, etc.) so that devices from different manufacturers can communicate with each other. This allows air conditioning, lighting, security and other systems to be integrated transparently into a single platform.

At local levels, sensors and actuators distributed throughout the building connect to controllers that directly manage the equipment in their area (for example, controlling the air conditioning on a floor according to the measured temperature). At a higher level, a central management platform collects data from all distributed controllers and allows for global monitoring and general adjustments. All these elements communicate in a network using open protocols (such as BACnet, KNX, Modbus, etc.), ensuring that devices from different manufacturers operate together. Thus, a fire alert detected by the security system can be immediately transmitted to the air conditioning and lift controllers, which automatically perform the necessary emergency actions \u2013 all without human intervention.    <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0153f7c elementor-widget-divider--view-line flex-horizontal-align-default flex-horizontal-align-tablet-default flex-horizontal-align-mobile-default flex-vertical-align-default flex-vertical-align-tablet-default flex-vertical-align-mobile-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"0153f7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-58315e7 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"58315e7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\"><div class=\"elementor-row\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9e6f929\" data-id=\"9e6f929\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3047058 elementor-widget__width-initial flex-horizontal-align-default flex-horizontal-align-tablet-default flex-horizontal-align-mobile-default flex-vertical-align-default flex-vertical-align-tablet-default flex-vertical-align-mobile-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3047058\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How WiseBuilding Integrates Distributed Control Architecture<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa872b4 elementor-widget__width-initial flex-horizontal-align-default flex-horizontal-align-tablet-default flex-horizontal-align-mobile-default flex-vertical-align-default flex-vertical-align-tablet-default flex-vertical-align-mobile-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa872b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">WiseBuilding, a specialist in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wisebuilding.pt\/en\/building-management-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">building management systems<\/a>,<\/strong> adopts this philosophy of distributed control in the solutions it develops.
