We got a vendor ID
January 21, 2010 – 11:10 amOver the holidays, I decided to “stake my claim” in the BACnet world by obtaining a BACnet vendor identifier from ASHRAE. For those who are unfamiliar with this process, please check bacnet.org. The process is pretty easy, all things considered. There was more paperwork involved with joining the BACnet committee!
The only problem I encountered was that they required my title at JANDAsoft. JANDAsoft (aka JANDA Software Company, LLC) is a sole proprietorship LLC, which is a really just a fancy way of saying it’s a company with one employee – me. So, technically, I’m “Founder and President”, but those titles are entirely too formal for my liking. But, ASHRAE requires a title, so I listed myself as “President”, which is why it’s listed as such on the list of vendor identifiers. It could just as easily say “Coleman Brumley, Grand Poobah“.
Anyway, I’m now officially listed as a BACnet vendor.
If you’re considering building a BACnet product, please obtain a vendor identifier. Oh, and buy your stack from PolarSoft!
