Monday Live is the smart buildings industry’s weekly open conversation—a virtual gathering where practitioners, technologists, and systems thinkers work through the future of smarter buildings
Consulting engineers writing BAS specifications in 2026 are increasingly being asked by IT departments to justify their network design in security terms – TLS, PKI, segmentation, monitoring, audit logging, and Zero Trust architectures. Integrators deploying BACnet/SC are discovering that the protocol solves some problems, but also introduces new operational questions around hubs, certificates, and network architecture.
The new Secured by Cimetrics™ BACnet Network Design Guide v1.0 was written for exactly those conversations.
BACnet/SC is a data communication method for BACnet that makes use of TCP/IP and mainstream network security technology to encrypt messages and to restrict which devices can communicate with each other. All BACnet/SC devices use digital certificates, and the use of those certificates is the subject of this article.
“Understanding BACnet/SC and Its Impact on System Integration” BACnet/SC is no longer “future tech” – it’s showing up on real projects, with real consequences for
