Smart buildings rely on more than just accurate energy measurement. They also need seamless communication between systems. From lighting and HVAC to security and access control, building automation depends on devices that can talk to each other. A BACnet supporting meter makes this possible by allowing energy data to integrate directly with your building management system.
At SATEC, we design metering solutions that speak BACnet natively. Our meters deliver precise energy readings and power quality insights while connecting effortlessly with BACnet-based infrastructures. This means your building becomes more efficient, more responsive, and easier to manage.
What a BACnet Meter Does
A BACnet supporting meter is an energy measurement device that uses the BACnet protocol. This protocol is a widely adopted open standard in building automation. It allows systems from different manufacturers to share data easily, without the need for extra software or hardware layers.
When an energy meter supports BACnet, it becomes part of the building’s automation network. Facility managers and automation software can then monitor real-time energy usage, voltage, current, and more with no additional effort. The data is available instantly and can be used to improve performance across all systems.
Why BACnet Integration Makes a Difference
In commercial buildings, energy is one of the largest operating expenses. By feeding metering data directly into your building management system, you gain insight and control over where and how energy is used.
With a BACnet-compatible meter, you can:
- Monitor usage by zone, tenant, or system
- Automate demand response based on real-time data
- Detect abnormal usage patterns or inefficiencies
- Coordinate HVAC and lighting control using live energy data
- Track building-wide energy performance metrics
This level of integration allows building teams to shift from reactive maintenance to proactive energy strategy.
SATEC Meters That Support BACnet
SATEC offers several metering solutions with built-in BACnet support. These devices make it easy to plug into your existing automation platform, whether you are upgrading or starting fresh.
BFM136
This multi-circuit meter (36 single-phase or 12 three-phase circuits) is ideal for large buildings or multi-tenant sites. It measures energy consumption, demand in real time and sends data directly to BACnet-compatible systems.
BFM-II
The next-gen version of the BFM136, the BFM-II branch feeder monitor measures up to 56 single-phase circuits at once. With built-in BACnet support, it provides centralized monitoring for entire buildings or distribution panels.
All of our BACnet-enabled meters are built for fast setup, easy configuration, and reliable performance. They work well in both retrofitted properties and new construction.
Key Advantages of Using a BACnet Meter
- Smooth integration with your building automation system
- Real-time monitoring of energy usage and system behavior
- Greater efficiency through data-driven automation
- Centralized visibility across all building systems
- Scalability for adding meters as your needs grow
Smarter Energy Management Begins with Better Connections
Running an efficient building is about having the right information at the right time. A BACnet meter connects your energy data directly to your automation system. This allows your team to make smarter decisions, reduce waste, and reach sustainability goals.
With SATEC’s BACnet-compatible meters, you get more than just numbers. You get insight, visibility, and control across your entire building.
