BACnet

BACnet is a communication protocol specifically designed for building automation and control systems, commonly used for HVAC, lighting, and access control integration.

Definition

BACnet (Building Automation and Control Networks) is a protocol designed specifically for building automation systems, widely used for HVAC, lighting, and access control integration. It's common in BMS and BEMS platforms as the standard for equipment communication.

Why It Matters

BACnet compatibility is often a requirement for integrating an energy platform with existing building automation infrastructure rather than requiring separate parallel systems.

How ecolyptus Helps

ecolyptus can integrate with BACnet-based building systems where connectivity is required alongside standard meter data.
