Today, most problems with building systems are detected as a result of occupant complaints or alarms provided by building automation systems. Building operators often respond by checking space temperatures or adjusting setpoints (or thermostat settings). The root causes of operation problems not diagnosed, so problems reoccur and the operator responds by making another adjustment. The BACnet TM standard will contribute to easier implementation by providing a standard mechanism for communication between diagnostic software and devices.
