A Deep Dive into the BACnet Protocol and How It’s Used in HVAC
BACnet stands for building automation and control networks. This data communication protocol is widely used around the world with HVAC, lighting and even security systems within buildings. BACnet is an open-source protocol form of communication that allows BACnet devices to talk with one another on a building network. BACnet was developed by ASHRAE to promote the use of open protocol as opposed to the proprietary protocols that once dominated in the industry.
