Uniform method for calculating the CO2 footprint for powered building automation devices cen:proj:80862

Scope

The scope is focused on all building automation devices that need to be supplied with energy to fulfil their task. This also explicitly includes battery power and energy harvesting. This standard is about the CO2 footprint “Cradle-to-Cradle”.
The devices in building automation differ in a few types. There are types of devices such as sensors that have a linear energy consumption as soon as they are in operation. But there are also devices such as drives for valves, fans, or dampers whose own consumption depends very much on the weather conditions and the quality of the control.
