Infrared body sensors would be far more effective but the cost is usually not justified in a lighting application. That is unless it can be shared with security, heating, cooling and other systems over BACnet.
Not only are unnecessary sensors eliminated, but the system itself is far more effective and more user-friendly. There are countless other examples of similar examples across the different building systems.
As proof, look no further than how we experience the world each day. Every decision we make is directed by one or more of the above senses. With BACnet we give our applications the similar abilities by sharing sensors and data that is used to make better decisions. BACnet Building Automation and Control Network is a communications protocol that defines the services used to communicate between building automation end-devices and building control systems.
The BACnet protocol specification like all protocol specification defines both how data is represented on the network and the services that are used to move data from one BACnet node to another. The BACnet protocol is a completely non-proprietary open communication software standard.
There are no proprietary chip sets or special electronics required to implement it. The BACnet Committee developed the standard with the intention of creating a technically sound and truly non-proprietary standard. They also kept in mind ease of use and did their best to eliminate many of the barriers to implement. To meet the needs of the widest possible set of applications BACnet was designed to support several different physical and link layers including:.
Today, the majority of users prefer to use Ethernet and the numbers of applications for many of these other physical layers are decreasing. These objects are defined by the BACnet specification and have both required and optional data. BACnet is an unconnected, peer network. Any device can send service requests to any other device. Unlike connected protocols where devices have ongoing data transfers, communication in BACnet is unscheduled without any time critical operations.
BACnet is a certifiable standard though certification is not required. Prices vary with the device complexity but it costs several thousand dollars to certify a BACnet device.

In defining the format for BACnet communications, the Standards Committee chose a flexible, object-oriented approach. Understanding this object-oriented approach and its terms is essential to understanding BACnet. All information in a BACnet system is represented in terms of objects. An object might represent information about a physical input or output, or it may represent a logical grouping of points that perform some function, such as a setpoint.
Where an object differs from a data point is that a data point would typically have a single value associated with it, whereas an object consists of a number of prescribed properties, only one of which is the present value. It is only through its properties that an object is monitored and controlled. To help clarify this difference, compare the room temperature as a data point to an analog input AI object that reports room temperature in a BACnet system.
Both are associated with the temperature read from a physical input. When you reference the data point, the only thing it indicates is the room temperature, 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
The AI object also reports the room temperature as The key difference is that 72 is the Present-value property of the AI-1 object. Other properties of the object convey more information: the Units property tells the system that the value is in Fahrenheit, the Device-type property that the sensor is a 10k ohm thermistor, and the Description property that it is the conference room temperature.
BACnet now has a new secure communication option that is built upon widely used IT standards. Three New Interpretations Published! At the just concluded interim meeting in Atlanta three new interpretations to BACnet were agreed to.
To view them, click here and scroll down to Interpretations 19, 20, and For information on the meeting at Georgia Tech, please click here. Five Addenda and August 26, was a banner day! The newly published addenda are: Addendum br Addendum bs Addendum bt Addendum bu Addendum bw The new version of Just enter "BACnet " to see the current offerings. Three proposed addenda are now undergoing day Publication Public Reviews from June 21 to August 5, Addendum bj is going out for its 3rd review. This proposed addendum is undergoing a day 2nd Publication Public Review from March 29 to April 28, Addendum bw.
There is a need for a simple, universal data exchange format for the transfer of time-series data between various platforms for operations such as analyzing the energy performance of buildings. Here is an excerpt from the press release announcing the seminar. It is one of Europe's largest trade shows with nearly , visitors and more than 2, exhibitors from all over the world.
Here is a summary of the highlights of the SSPC meeting that took place in January in the shadow of Mercedes Benz arena, the site of this year's Superbowl! These new BIBBS are based on the existing or extended common BIBBs, exclude some requirements not relevant for elevator applications, and add specific requirements that are relevant for elevator applications. New elevator device profiles are added in new device profile families for elevator devices.
