Building Automation Systems Engineers

Demand will be strong for building automation systems engineers during the next decade. The value of the worldwide building automation system market is expected to grow from $77.1 billion in 2021 to $207.5 billion by 2030, according to P&S Intelligence (a market research and consulting services firm). This translates into a compound annual growth rate of 11.6 percent during this time span. P&S Intelligence says that “the market is being propelled by the rapid construction of energy-efficient buildings, cheaper operations and maintenance, improved indoor air quality, and managed home automation, as well as the advances in sensor, communication, touchscreen, and analytics technologies. Furthermore, the market is driven by the rising security and access control demand, as well as the increasing use of predictive analytics for improving the management of HVAC systems in buildings.” Engineers with considerable experience, certification, and expertise in the Industrial Internet of Things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (including machine learning), and data and predictive analytics will have the best job prospects.
