Le présent document est applicable à l'installation électrique d'un bâtiment ou d'un système et ne s'applique pas aux produits. L’efficacité énergétique des produits et leurs exigences opérationnelles sont couvertes par les normes de produits concernées.
Lorsqu’une autre norme fournit des exigences spécifiques à un système particulier ou une application d’installation particulière (par exemple, les systèmes de fabrication couverts par l’ISO 20140 (toutes les parties)), ces exigences peuvent remplacer celles du présent document.
Le présent document ne traite pas spécifiquement des systèmes d'automatisation de bâtiments.
La présente publication groupée d’efficacité énergétique est principalement destinée à être utilisée comme une norme d’efficacité énergétique pour les installations électriques à basse tension citées à l’Article 1, mais elle est également destinée à être utilisée par les comités d’études lors de l’élaboration de normes, conformément aux principes fixés dans le Guide IEC 119 et le Guide IEC 118.
Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2014. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) révision de l’Annexe B;
b) révision de 4.2: évaluation de l’efficacité énergétique pour les installations électriques;
c) mise à jour de 8.3: Données d’entrée à partir des charges, des capteurs et des prévisions;

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC
Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
The optimization of electrical energy usage can be facilitated by appropriate design and
installation considerations. An electrical installation can provide the required level of service
and safety for the lowest electrical consumption. This is considered by designers as a general
requirement of their design procedures in order to establish the best use of electrical energy.
In addition to the many parameters taken into account in the design of electrical installations,
more importance is nowadays focused on reducing losses within the system and its use. The
design of the whole installation has therefore to take into account inputs from users, suppliers
and utilities.
It is important that this document covers existing electrical installations in buildings, in
addition to new installations. It is in the refurbishment of existing buildings that significant
overall improvements in energy efficiency can be achieved.
The optimization of the use of electricity is based on energy efficiency management which is
based on the price of electricity, electrical consumption and real-time adaptation. Efficiency is
checked by measurement during the whole life of the electrical installation. This helps identify
opportunities for any improvements and corrections. Improvements and corrections may be
implemented by redesign or equipment replacement. The aim is to provide a design for an
efficient electrical installation which allows an energy management process to suit the user's
needs, and in accordance with an acceptable investment. This document f

INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION
____________

LOW-VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS –

Part 8-1: Functional aspects – Energy efficiency

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC
Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60364-8-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 64:
Electrical installations and protection against electric shock.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2014. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) revision of Annex B;
b) revision of 4.2: Energy efficiency assessment for electrical installations;
c) update of 8.3: Input from loads, sensors and forecasts;
d) introduction of new definitions.
