Unit Conversion

A necessary Unit Conversion is the process of translating sensor measurements into standardized units that are recognized and correctly interpreted by BACnet-based building automation systems, such as converting temperature, humidity, or energy data into appropriate BACnet unit definitions.

Accurate unit conversion ensures consistency across systems, supports meaningful visualization and trending, and enables reliable automation logic.

MultiTech handles unit conversion as part of its edge-based BACnet integration, ensuring that data from LoRaWAN® sensors is presented with correct units and scaling when exposed as BACnet objects.

By managing this conversion within the gateway, MultiTech reduces integration complexity for partners and ensures that wireless IoT data behaves consistently with native BACnet points throughout the BMS environment.step when translating IoT data (°C, %RH, kWh) into BACnet units.
