Interoperability and adaptability at every level
The APOGEE Automation System offers the functionality of a BACnet Web-based system.
The BACnet protocol performs across multiple systems, providing the necessary
foundation for future expansion. BACnet is the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) industry standard protocol, according to its founding and sponsoring
organizations, American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), International Standards Organization (ISO), and American National Standards
Institute (ANSI). Its reputation and growing use make it the best choice for a standard
protocol across a system, or to use as an interoperability tool to help knit together a
cohesive, tightly integrated system despite disparate technologies or vendor systems.
