Abstract:
This guide is intended for use by General Services
Administration staff or design consultants when
preparing specifications for interoperable building
control systems using BACnet technology. It explains
the issues that need to be considered when specifying
the communication details and makes some recommendations
for the choices involved. It is not a sample
specification and it does not address all issues
important for a good control system specification. The
focus is on specific issues related to the
interconnection and interoperation of building
automation systems and devices using BACnet. It is
intended to complement more general guidelines for
direct digital control systems for building automation
applications.
