Energy performance of buildings - Contribution of building automation, controls and building management - Part 1: General framework and procedures (ISO 52120-1:2021, Corrected version 2022-09)

This European Standard specifies:
-   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 so called 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 buildings types and use profiles;
-   detailed methods to assess the effect of these functions on a given building.
Table 1 shows the relative position of this standard within the set of EPB standards in the context of the modular structure as set out in EN ISO 52000 1.
NOTE 1   In CEN ISO/TR 52000 2 the same table can be found, with, for each module, the numbers of the relevant EPB standards and accompanying technical reports that are published or in preparation.
NOTE 2   The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard may cover more than one module and one module may be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance a simplified and a detailed method respectively.

Ta evropski standard določa:
–   strukturiran seznam funkcij za nadzor, avtomatizacijo in tehnično upravljanje stavb, ki prispevajo k energijski učinkovitosti stavb. Funkcije so bile razvrščene v kategorije in strukturirane glede na discipline stavbeništva in t. i. sistem za avtomatizacijo in nadzor stavb (BAC);
–   metodo za opredelitev minimalnih zahtev oziroma specifikacije v zvezi s funkcijami za nadzor, avtomatizacijo in tehnično upravljanje stavb, ki prispevajo k energijski učinkovitosti stavb in jih je treba uvesti v različno kompleksnih stavbah;
–   metodo, ki temelji na faktorju, za prvo oceno učinka teh funkcij na običajne vrste stavb in profile uporabe;
–   natančne metode za oceno učinka teh funkcij na določeno stavbo.
Preglednica 1 prikazuje relativno mesto tega standarda znotraj skupine standardov EPB v kontekstu modularne strukture, kot je opredeljeno v standardu EN ISO 52000-1.
OPOMBA 1:   V standardu CEN ISO/TR 52000-2 je za vsak modul mogoče najti enako preglednico s številkami ustreznih standardov EPB in spremnimi tehničnimi poročili, ki so objavljeni ali v pripravi.
OPOMBA 2:   Moduli predstavljajo standarde EPB, čeprav lahko en standard EPB zajema več kot en modul, en modul pa je lahko zajet v več kot enem standardu EPB (na primer poenostavljena metoda in podrobna metoda).

Introduction
This document 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”.
All EPB standards follow specific rules to ensure overall consistency, unambiguity and transparency.
This document is clearly identified in the modular structure developed to ensure a transparent and
coherent set of EPB standards, as set out in ISO 52000-1, the overarching EPB standard. BAC (building
automation and control) is identified in the modular structure as technical building system M10.
However, other International Standards issued by ISO TC 205 deal with control accuracy, control
functions and control strategies using standards communications protocol (these last standards do not
belong to the set of EPB standards).
To avoid a duplication of calculation due to the BAC (avoid double impact), no calculation is done in a
BAC EPB standard set, but in each underlying standard of the set of EPB standards (from M1 to M9 in
the modular structure), an identifier developed and present in the M10 covered by this document is
used where appropriate. This way of interaction is described in detail in ISO/TR 52000-2, the Technical
Report accompanying ISO 52000-1. As consequence, the concept of a normative template for specific
(national) choices in Annex A, and Annex B with informative default choices, as commonly used in the
set of EPB standards is not applicable for this document.
The main target groups of this document are all the users of the set of EPB set of standards (e.g.
architects, engineers, regulators).
Further target groups are parties wanting to motivate their assumptions by classifying the building
energy performance for a dedicated building stock.

More information is provided in the Technical Report accompanying this document (ISO/TR 52120-2 ).
NOTE 1 Table 1 shows the relative position of this document within the set of EPB standards in the context of
the modular structure as set out in ISO 52000-1.
NOTE 2 In ISO/TR 52000-2 the same table can be found, with, for each module, the numbers of the relevant
EPB standards and accompanying technical reports that are published or in preparation.
NOTE 3 The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard can cover more than one module
and one module can be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance a simplified and a detailed method
respectively. See also Clause 2 and Tables A.1 and B.1.

Introduction
This document 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”.
All EPB standards follow specific rules to ensure overall consistency, unambiguity and transparency.
This document is clearly identified in the modular structure developed to ensure a transparent and
coherent set of EPB standards, as set out in ISO 52000-1, the overarching EPB standard. BAC (building
automation and control) is identified in the modular structure as technical building system M10.
However, other International Standards issued by ISO TC 205 deal with control accuracy, control
functions and control strategies using standards communications protocol (these last standards do not
belong to the set of EPB standards).
To avoid a duplication of calculation due to the BAC (avoid double impact), no calculation is done in a
BAC EPB standard set, but in each underlying standard of the set of EPB standards (from M1 to M9 in
the modular structure), an identifier developed and present in the M10 covered by this document is
used where appropriate. This way of interaction is described in detail in ISO/TR 52000-2, the Technical
Report accompanying ISO 52000-1. As consequence, the concept of a normative template for specific
(national) choices in Annex A, and Annex B with informative default choices, as commonly used in the
set of EPB standards is not applicable for this document.
The main target groups of this document are all the users of the set of EPB set of standards (e.g.
architects, engineers, regulators).
Further target groups are parties wanting to motivate their assumptions by classifying the building
energy performance for a dedicated building stock.

More information is provided in the Technical Report accompanying this document (ISO/TR 52120-2 ).
NOTE 1 Table 1 shows the relative position of this document within the set of EPB standards in the context of
the modular structure as set out in ISO 52000-1.
NOTE 2 In ISO/TR 52000-2 the same table can be found, with, for each module, the numbers of the relevant
EPB standards and accompanying technical reports that are published or in preparation.
NOTE 3 The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard can cover more than one module
and one module can be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance a simplified and a detailed method
respectively. See also Clause 2 and Tables A.1 and B.1.

Introduction
This International Standard is part of a series of standards aiming at international harmonization of the
methodology for the assessment of the energy performance of buildings, called “EPB set of standards”.
As part of the “EPB set of standards” it complies with the requirements for the set of basic EPB
documents ISO 52000-1 (see Normative references), CEN/TS 16628 and CEN/TS 16629 (see
[2] [3]
Bibliography and ) developed under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association (Mandate M/480).
This standard is clearly identified in the modular structure developed to ensure a transparent and
coherent EPB standard set in ISO 52000-1. BAC (Building Automation and Control) is identified in the
modular structure as Technical Building System M10However, other standards issued by ISO TC 205
deal with control accuracy, control functions and control strategies using standards communications
protocol (these last standards do not belong to the EPB standards set).
To avoid a duplication of calculation due to the BAC (avoid double impact), no calculation are done in
BAC EPB standard set, but in each underlying standard of EPB set of standards (from M1 to M9 in the
Modular Structure), an IDENTIFIER developed and present in the M10 covered by ISO DIS 52120-1
is used where appropriate. These way of interaction is described in detailed in the Technical Report
( ISO/TR 52000-2) accompanying the over-arching standard. As consequence, the Annex A and Annex B
concept as EXCEL sheet with the calculation formulas used in the EPB standards are not applicable for
this standard.
The main target groups of this standard are all the users of the set of EPB standards (e.g. architects,
engineers, regulators).
Further target groups are parties wanting to motivate their assumptions by classifying the building
energy performance for a dedicated building stock.
More information is provided in the Technical Report accompanying this standard (draft
[5]
ISO TR 52120-2 ).

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 52120-1:2020(E)
Energy performance of buildings — Contribution
of building automation and controls and building
management —
Part 1:
Modules M10-4,5,6,7,8,9,10
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies:
— 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 so called 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 buildings
types and use profiles;
— detailed methods to assess the effect of these functions on a given building.
Table 1 shows the relative position of this standard within the set of EPB standards in the context of the
modular structure as set out in ISO 52000-1.
NOTE 1 In ISO/TR 52000-2 the same table can be found, with, for each module, the numbers of the relevant
EPB standards and accompanying technical reports that are published or in preparation.
NOTE 2 The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard may cover more than one module
and one module may be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance a simplified and a detailed method
respectively.
