, BACNET AND LON - CORRECT ANSWER - BACnet is a communications protocol for
Building Automation and Control (BAC) networks that leverage the ASHRAE(135-2016), ANSI,
and ISO 16484-5 standard[1] protocol.
BACnet was designed to allow communication of building automation and control systems for
applications such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning control (HVAC), lighting control,
access control, and fire detection systems and their associated equipment. The BACnet protocol
provides mechanisms for computerized building automation devices to exchange information,
regardless of the particular building service they perform.

LON - CORRECT ANSWER - LonWorks (local operating network) is a networking
platform specifically created to address the needs of control applications. The platform is built on
a protocol created by Echelon Corporation for networking devices over media such as twisted
pair, powerlines, fiber optics, and RF. It is used for the automation of various functions within
buildings such as lighting and HVAC; see building automation.
Digital data control (DDC) - CORRECT ANSWER - Digital data control (DDC) is the
automated control of a condition or process by a digital device (computer).
DDC takes a centralized network-oriented approach. All instrumentation is gathered by various
analog and digital converters which use the network to transport these signals to the central
