The standard floor space coverage area for each building automation system (BAS), is a BAS outlet or device for every_______ of floor space.

9.3 m2 (100 ft2) per device is too dense relative to the standard, representing over-provisioning that would significantly increase hardware and installation costs beyond what the standard requires.

The standard for Building Automation System coverage specifies one BAS outlet or device for every 23 m2 (250 ft2) of floor space, as defined in structured building infrastructure and BAS design guidelines. This density ensures adequate distribution of sensors, actuators, and control points to monitor and manage environmental conditions throughout a facility without over- or under-provisioning devices.

31 m2 (330 ft2) does not correspond to the defined standard coverage area per BAS outlet and would result in slightly under-provisioned coverage relative to the specification.

56 m2 (600 ft2) is more than double the standard coverage area per device, which would leave large zones without adequate BAS monitoring or control capability.

84 m2 (904 ft2) greatly exceeds the standard per-device coverage area and would result in severely insufficient BAS point density to meet operational requirements.
