Top answer

BACnet (Building Automation and Control Networks) is a network protocol for building automation. Gateways exist for interoperable and cross-functional communication, which couple BACnet communication participants with other fieldbus systems and protocols (e.g. DALI, KNX or LON).
The scope of BACnet covers all types of buildings, including residential, office, schools, hospitals, industrial and more. The use of BACnet enables efficient control and monitoring of building systems, which can lead to improved energy efficiency, comfort and safety.
