So, you’ve been enlightened by the BACnet flame? The allure of interoperability and the promise of a future-proof facility were all the reasons you needed to insist on a BACnet specification? But now, the project seems plagued by finger-pointing and so-called interoperable systems that just don’t work. What happened?
