IP-Building and Lighting Standards

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki




IP-Building and Lighting Standards (IP-BLiS) is an initiative[1][2][3] that envisions to make commercial buildings more responsive to the needs of users by promoting a secure, multi-standard, IP-based[4] harmonized Internet of things (IoT) solution. The market group was launched[5][6] and introduced by BACnet International, DALI Alliance, KNX Association, Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF), Thread Group and Zigbee Alliance in 2020. IP-BLiS is a collaboration of standards organizations[7][8] to educate the market on the benefits of IP. Each participating organization will take back inputs to their respective organisations for technical work. Its purpose[9][10] is to educate and influence the market regarding application framework standards over IP for commercial building connectivity through marketing and communications.

Background[edit]

There is currently no technology that fulfils all use cases needed to automate a commercial building. With the siloed technologies, the industry can't create the synergy that is needed.

An approach to remove these barriers and provide truly smart buildings is to converge lighting control and building management systems with IT networks into a secure all-IP-based configuration. With this convergence comes true IP networking making data of the various building automation application protocols accessible via an IP address (instead of an application protocol-specific address). The move to IP eliminates the need for hardware-based gateways and enables gateways between the systems to be pure software solutions since all devices communicate over a secure IP connection. This convergence also means that different physical IP layers can be used leading to seamless integration of wired and wireless connectivity options to reduce installation costs.
