BACnet Integrations

Verdant customers can now import many of the thermostat’s core data-points into a BMS, thereby enhancing the operator’s ability to manage, monitor, and improve the overall operation of the building. Verdant’s energy management system seamlessly connects a network of thermostats using our proprietary 900MHz communication protocol and one networking device – our Online Connection Kit.

The Online Connection Kit leverages BACnet IP to securely transmit operational data points to a BMS, avoiding the need for cabling and additional labor. Once the Online Connection Kit has been discovered by the BACnet server, users may import a range of variables into their BMS.

Setting up Verdant’s BACnet over IP network is simple. Upon receipt of Verdant’s Online Connection Kit, users populate a few simple parameters from their existing network infrastructure. The Online Connection Kit must be connected to a hard-wired ethernet port with outbound internet access through ports 80 or 443.

The Online Connection Kit then automatically propagates Verdant’s proprietary communication protocol across all Verdant devices on property, forming a deep mesh network while simultaneously communicating to a property BMS. In addition to modifying Verdant system settings through a BMS, users may also access Verdant’s cloud-based online management portal through the property IT network to remotely configure system settings, receive customized diagnostic alerts, or view monthly energy savings.
