<strong>BACnet</strong><br />
Bacnet is a data communication<br />
protocol for building automation<br />
and control parts. Developed by<br />
Ashae, <strong>BACnet</strong> is a U.S.A. national<br />
standard, a European standard in<br />
over 30 countries and a worldwide<br />
ISO standard. <strong>BACnet</strong> standardizes<br />
communications between devices<br />
and building automation systems<br />
managed by different protocols.<br />
Energy efficiency<br />
Compared to traditional systems, a good control system reduces lighting<br />
costs by 50%. Adopting simple programmable logic controllers in a<br />
traditional system can guarantee users optimal comfort. Today, thanks to<br />
the KNX / LON systems, highly adaptable solutions can be designed that<br />
cover all applications, from the simplest to the most complicated service<br />
industry system.<br />
User-friendly installation, less cables, and a range of services including<br />
scene lighting, fault indications, and local and remote control<br />
systems, now combine to offer real added value solutions.<br />
The solutions proposed with the KNX and LON systems, (also defined<br />
in the EN 50090 standard), allow an all-round approach to be taken with<br />
regard to the important issue of energy efficiency and the consequent<br />
limitation of CO 2 emissions. From small devices, such as timer and<br />
presence detectors, to highly sophisticated, customised solutions<br />
designed in compliance with UNI EN 15232 standard indications.<br />
