What is ISO 52120-1- Building automation, controls and building management about?
ISO 52120 discusses the energy performance of buildings. ISO 52120-1 is the first part of the ISO 52120 multi-series and discusses the general framework and procedures for contribution to building automation, controls and building management.
ISO 52120-1 provides you with two methods:
Method 1: Detailed calculation procedure of the BAC (building automation and control)contribution to the energy performance of buildings.
Method 2: Factor-based calculation procedure of the BAC impact on the energy performance of buildings
Who is ISO 52120-1- Building automation, controls and building management for?
ISO 52120-1 on the general framework and procedures for contribution to building automation, controls and building management is useful for:
- Architects
- Civil engineers
- Interior and exterior designers
- Builders
Why should you use ISO 52120-1- Building automation, controls and building management?
ISO 52120-1 belongs to the family of standards aimed at international harmonization of the methodology for the assessment of the energy performance of buildings. Throughout, this group of standards is referred to as a set of called “EPB set of standards”.
ISO 52120-1 provides you with the:
- A structured list of control, building automation and technical building management functions which contribute to the energy performance of buildings; functions have been categorized and structured according to building disciplines and building automation and control (BAC)
- A method to define minimum requirements or any specification regarding the control, building
- Automation and technical building management functions contributing to energy efficiency of a
- Building to be implemented in building of different complexities
- A factor-based method to get a first estimation of the effect of these functions on typical building types and use profiles
- Detailed methods to assess the effect of these functions on a given building
