guidance from the original chairman of the BACnet committee
BACnet:
The Global Standard
for Building Automation
and Control Networks
This new reference by H. Michael Newman explains how
the BACnet protocol manages all basic building functions
in a seamless, integrated way.
The book explains how BACnet works with all major control
systems - including those of Honeywell, Siemens and
Johnson Controls - to manage everything from heating
to ventilation to lighting to fi re control and alarm systems.
Contractors, architects, building systems engineers and
facilities managers must all be cognizant of BACnet and
its applications.
ABOUT BACNET:
BACnet is a data communication protocol for building
automation and control systems, developed within ASHRAE
in cooperation with ANSI, CEN, and the ISO.
