BACnet standard expanded
Dortmund 26.02.2009. - The worldwide growing BACnet community has an expanded standard. Published at the turn of the year 2008/2009, "BACnet 2008" replaces the old standard version of 2004. The new version supports the cross-linking between buildings and energy providers. It enhances the manufacturer-independent cross-linking of building automation with new possibilities.
The internationally assigned BACnet standards committee "SSPC 135" of the American ASHRAE presents the new BACnet standard in Chicago at the AHR Expo. The BACnet Interest Group Europe (BIG-EU) was engaged in the development as well.
BACnet is the only open standard in building automation that is cooperatively developed by the American, Asian and European building automation industry. The Protocol for "Building Automation and Control Networks (BACnet)" enables devices and systems of different manufacturers to work together. This creates high-performance building systems that meet the new economic and ecological requirements.
The BACnet standard was expanded by seven points - including new ways to use the internet, as well as new ways of access control and implementation of BACnet Devices.
One of the key factors for cross linking the buildings with the energy providers is the integration of load control. It enables one to manage the energy supply by demand. Therewith peak loads in the supply net can be absorbed.
At first the new standard was published as ANSI/ASHRAE standard 135-2008.
That the improvements will be integrated into the DIN EN ISO standard 6484-5
as well is considered certain in circles of experts.
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135-2008, BACnet® - A Data Communication Protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks. ISSN 1041-2
