Building automation and control systems -- Part 7: The contribution of BACS to energy performance of buildings prEN ISO 16484-7

Scope

This international Standard specifiecs:
- a structured list of control, building automation and technical building management functions which contribute to the energy
performance of buildings;
- a method to define minimum requirements regarding the control, building automation and technical building management functions to be implemented in buildings of different complexities;
- factor based method to get a first estimation of the effect of these functions on typical buildings types and use profiles
- Factors and use profiles as informative annex
- Detailed method as informative annex
- Detailed methods to assess the effect of these functions on a given building. These methods enable to introduce the contribution of these functions to the calculations of energy performance ratings and indicators calculated by the relevant standards;
This international Standard is defined for:
- building owners, architects or engineers, defining the functions to be implemented for a given new building or for the
renovation of an existing building;
- public authorities, defining minimum requirements for BACS and TBM functions for new buildings as well as for renovation as
defined in the relevant standard;
- public authorities, defining inspection procedures of technical systems as well as inspectors applying these procedures to
check if the level of BACS and TBM functions implemented is appropriate;
- public authorities, defining calculation methods which take into account the effect of BAC and TBM functions on the energy
performance of buildings as well as software developers implementing these calculation methods and designers using
them;
- designers, checking that the effect of all BACS and TBM functions are taken into account when assessing the energy
performance of a building.
NOTE: The terms BAC (Building Automation and Control) and BACS (Building Automation and Control System) are equivalent in view of
energy calculation and energy performance. In this case BACS will be used in the English version and BAC (German term:
