Second, we describe the BACnet interface, a link which has been implemented to couple BACnet devices to the BCVTB. We present a case study where the interface was used to couple a whole building simulation program to a building control system to assess in real-time the performance of a real building. Third, we present the ADInterfaceMCC, an analog/digital interface that allows a USB-based analog/digital converter to be linked to the BCVTB. In a case study, we show how the link was used to couple the analog/digital converter to a building simulation model for local loop control.</p>1 aHaves, Philip1 aBhattacharya, Prajesh1 aNouidui, Thierry, Stephane1 aWetter, Michael1 aLi, Zhengwei1 aPang, Xiufeng  uhttps://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/publications/bacnet-and-analogdigital-interfaces
