BACnet: Manufacturer-Independent Building Control

“Building Automation and Control Networks” (BACnet) is a data transfer protocol for building automation and control. BACnet simplifies communication between products from different manufacturers within building automation.

BACnet in Brief:

  • Standardized data exchange for building automation
  • Uniform communication on the management, automation and field level
  • Cross-system integration of devices of different building control systems, e.g., elevator surveillance, access control, power supply or radio applications

BACnet Simply Explained

BACnet was developed by the “American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers Inc.” – in short, ASHRAE. Published as an American standard in 1995, BACnet has been the ISO standard 16484-5 since 2003. BACnet provides open, interoperable building automation. As a result, extensions and changes in the building can be implemented independently of manufacturer and across systems. This is made possible by using common data points and coordinated functions.
