It provides a vendor-independent networking solution to enable interoperability among equipment and control devices for a wide range of building automation applications. BACnet enables interoperability by defining communications messages, formats and rules for exchanging data, commands, and status information. BACnet provides the data communications infrastructure for intelligent buildings and is implemented in hundreds of thousands of buildings around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bacnetinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/BACnet-Activity-Map22-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1301\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bacnetinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/BACnet-Activity-Map22-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bacnetinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/BACnet-Activity-Map22-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bacnetinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/BACnet-Activity-Map22-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bacnetinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/BACnet-Activity-Map22.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Building automation designers use BACnet for connecting multiple devices and systems to implement sophisticated energy management, occupant comfort, and building security applications. They also use BACnet to integrate information and control for multiple building systems into a single graphical user interface. The use of BACnet in building automation simplifies operations, reduces training, streamlines maintenance, offers flexibility, and allows for backward compatible extensions and cross-functional add-ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The BACnet standard was developed and is continuously maintained by the BACnet Committee, more formally known as SSPC 135 (a Standing Standards Project Committee) of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashrae.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ASHRAE<\/a>). BACnet is an ISO standard (EN ISO 16484-5), a European standard (DIN EN ISO 16484-5:2017-12) and a national standard in many countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key BACnet Benefits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Worldwide standardized data communication for building automation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Independent of specific technologies and suppliers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comprehensive solution for building control and automation networks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compatibility with IT infrastructure and highly scalable solutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Validation at independent testing laboratories and product certification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continuously being maintained and upgraded while preserving current investments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Typical BACnet Applications<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lighting control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Elevator monitoring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security and fire alarm systems monitoring and integration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Energy management and energy services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operations data (XML)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For an overview of BACnet, see the free, two-hour online course called \u201cBACnet Basics\u201d in <a href=\"https:\/\/thebacnetinstitute.org\/courses-overview\/\">The BACnet Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BACnet Organizations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The BACnet global community is supported by a network of not-for-profit organizations providing technical information, education and product certification services.
