PROJECT PROFILES
Managed BACnet
The Managed BACnet project concentrates on technology and implementation challenges in deploying BACnet into cloud-native buildings. The work focuses on leveraging the use of BACnet/SC (Secure Connect), which is inherently cloud-native, with existing BACnet installations and products that utilize transport layers that do not perform well in cloud-native environments.
Purpose and Scope
To define specifications and guidelines to encourage the broad adoption of BACnet in Could-Native environments.
Create, gather, and catalog open-source resources in support of the stated purpose.
Promote the widespread adoption of best practices for utilizing BACnet technology in cloud-native environments.
Goals and Deliverables
Short term (6-12 months)
Create a roadmap for the adoption of BACnet in cloud environments.
Establish working relationships with other organizations working on BACnet.
Long-term vision
Identify and create ways to overcome market barriers to the adoption of BACnet in cloud environments.
