Just before the COVID pandemic arrived, at the AHR Expo 2020 in Orlando, Cimetrics launched a Consensus Building initiative to define the requirements for making BACnet more secure. This initiative included participation from all of the leading BACnet vendors in the industry.

Through the pandemic, the group met via Zoom twice weekly to gather requirements, use cases, and recommendations to the industry on how to significantly improve the cybersecurity of BACnet, building on the BACnet/SC addendum that was released in 2019.

Now after two and half years of work, the work product of the group is starting to see the light of day.

As the convener of this initiative, Cimetrics is happy to be publishing much of this work as the group engages with ASHRAE and BACnet International for the broad distribution and adoption of this framework. The first two papers published are:

These documents are only the starting point of published material in support of this initiative. Look out for additional papers, webinars, and announcements over the coming months from Cimetrics, BACnet International, and ASHRAE.
