# Why K-12 Building Automation Systems Lose Performance Within 3 Years  and How to Stop It

#### [Most school BAS installations begin drifting within 12–18 months. By year three, wasted energy, comfort complaints, and overrides quietly erode performance. This free white paper explains why and what districts can do to prevent it.](https://www.smartbuildingsacademy.com/the-3-year-bas-decay-curve-in-schools#sign-up)

## Stop the BAS decay cycle before it becomes expensive and disruptive.

School districts invest heavily in building automation systems with the expectation that performance will remain stable for years. But in reality, BAS performance in K-12 environments declines rapidly after commissioning. 

Common symptoms include: 

- Persistent hot and cold classrooms 
- Rising utility costs despite “efficient” systems 
- Overrides that never get cleared 
- Schedules that no longer match real occupancy 

Without structured oversight, BAS drift becomes inevitable.
