Smart Bidding for BACnet Systems

BACnet has provided owners with new and better methods for managing multiple buildings. Before the advent of BACnetbased direct digital control systems, owners tried to select a few vendors of proprietary products, or they installed the same DDC system in all buildings. Restricting competition to a few systems simplifi ed the work of the maintenance department, but created political problems for public sector owners such as military bases, school boards, universities or other taxpayer-funded organizations, who must maintain open competition.
