It also describes the automation of hospitals, clean rooms, universities, high rise buildings, government buildings, water treatment facilities, etc.

Building automation is a generic term. It describes the automation of an industrial building (block of offices, shop floor, parking garage, etc.) or an apartment complex. It is usually in reference to a commercial operation. Home automation describes the automation of a single apartment or house only. Home automation technology is usually somewhat different. This is in part due to the difference in the type of equipment being operated as well as the voltage of electric current being supplied to the two differing types of structures. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.105.155.197 (talk • contribs).

Good point. While building automation and home automation may share some technologies, home automation has concerns that are largely unique from building automation (e.g. home theater setup, window-blind automation, mood-lighting, etc). I will remove the merge request from Home automation <--> Building automation. (I will still keep a merge request for other articles such as Intelligent building, since they can be split amongst the two main articles. -- Eptin 08:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Building automation and intelligent buildings should be merged into one article. Room automation, Home automation, and Domotics should be merged into a separate article under the heading Home automation. Takeitupalevel 03:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
