Mandatory and specific BAC energy efficiency
class (according to EN 15232) for
implementation and compliance.
Deploy energy-efficient and certified products
only as BACS components.
Use BACS as a tool for EMS and the
documentation and information system
supporting the organization.
BACS operational processes (e.g. like default
