CEN / TC 247
CEN / TC 247 develops European and international standards for building automation, controls and
building management (BACS), for instance:
· Product standards for electronic control equipment in the field of HVAC applications (e.g. EN
15500)
à Basis for product certification related to EPBD
· Standardization of BACS functions (EN ISO 16484-3)
à Basis for the impact of BACS on energy efficiency
· Open data communication protocols for BACS (e.g. EN ISO 16484-5)
à Prerequisite for integrated functions with BACS impact on energy efficiency
· Project specification and implementation (EN ISO 16484-1)
à Prerequisite for project design and implementation and for the integration of other
systems into the BACS
· Energy performance of BAC functions (EN 15232)
Title: Energy performance of buildings – Impact of Building Automation, Controls and Building
Management
à Basis for the impact of BACS on the energy efficiency of buildings
Note:
BACS = Building Automation and Control System
Procedure
The EU mandated European CEN to standardize calculation methods to improve energy savings.
CEN - TC 247 prepared and approved
