BACnet (Building Automation and Control Network)

BACnet (Building Automation and Control Network) is a communication protocol used to enable different building systems—like lighting, heating, ventilation, and security—to work together seamlessly. It allows these systems from various manufacturers to share information and coordinate control efficiently over a common network. This interconnected approach helps building managers monitor and manage infrastructure more effectively, improving comfort, energy efficiency, and safety. In essence, BACnet acts as a universal language that facilitates integration and automation of building systems, making modern buildings smarter and more responsive.
