Via the LonMark standard, building owners will be able to integrate all building control systems using one control network standard, thereby reducing integration costs, eliminating redundant components and improving operational efficiency. Whole building integration is one of the key benefits of specifying LonMark for a job. The LonMark functional profiles provide a universal shorthand for equipment specifiers to select the functionality they need for a system while ensuring interoperability between products from different vendors. There is no pre-determination on how LonMark profiles are packaged into products, the specifier and designer have that choice. LonMark profiles are developed through a rigorous review and approval process that includes a cross functional review to ensure that profiles not only interoperate within an individual subsystem but also provide interoperability to other subsystems within the building.
