The experiences of users and implementers of BACnet have led to many constructive suggestions for improving the original standard, ANSI/ASHRAE 135-1995 and, more recently, its successors, ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2001, 135-2004, 135-2008 and 135-2010. The same can also be said about ANSI/ASHRAE 135.1-2003, the companion standard for BACnet conformance testing, and its subsequent updates in 2007, 2009 and 2011. The files available below are in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Anyone wishing to comment on public review drafts during the listed comment period can get the necessary forms and instructions on the ASHRAE Website.

Note: Many of the addenda to BACnet-2012 were begun during the "lifetime" of BACnet-2010 but their development and final public reviews were not completed in time to be incorporated into BACnet-2012. Therefore, some of the files for earlier drafts contain the string "2010" in their titles even though they pertain to revisions to BACnet that will eventually be applied to BACnet-2012 or, possibly, subsequent consolidated versions of the standard.

A new standard way of representing building data will give BACnet new capabilities for standardized communications between a wide range of applications. A definition for an XML syntax which can be used to represent building data in a consistent, flexible and extensible manner is defined by this addenda in the form of a new annex to the standard.

  The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a popular technology in the data processing and communications worlds due to its ability to model a wide range of data and its ability to be transformed and extended. With this new IT-friendly way of representing building data, BACnet will open up a range of possible new ways to share data. XML can be used for exchanging files between systems, integrating buildings with energy utilities, and expanding enterprise integration with richer Web services. Some of these new applications will be standardized in future addenda to the standard based on the syntax defined here.

The need to define a set of procedures for the testing of BACnet implementations has led to the drafting of a companion standard, ANSI/ASHRAE 135.1, Method of Test for Conformance to BACnet. The companion standard to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135 (BACnet) contains detailed tests for every feature of the BACnet protocol and provides the basis for testing and listing programs that have been established by BACnet International, the successor organization to the BACnet Manufacturers Association.
