Many large projects place an importance on Integrating lighting to a Building Management System (BMS) using BACnet. However, for so many lighting professional’s integration may not have been a pleasant experience. Lighting is a subsystem to the BMS and are not in charge so when integration goes awry what do you do? Having personally been involved with hundreds of BACnet projects I realized issues could be avoided by following 7 basic rules. This course is not a technical presentation about BACnet like I have presented in the past but how we can set BACnet integration projects for success.
