What is BACnet?

BACnet (Building Automation and Control Networks) is a communication protocol designed for building automation and control systems. It defines how different devices, such as HVAC, lighting, access control, and fire detection systems, can communicate and exchange data with each other. This enables centralized monitoring, control, and optimization of building operations, leading to improved energy efficiency, comfort, and security.
