The Part 3 requirements specify the following functions:
1) prevention of active inbound attacks and unsafe commands,
2) discovery and classification of outbound traffic,
3) interoperability of premises internal network traffic,
4) management of privacy and security mechanisms, and
5) provision for a management and reporting dashboard for use by the non-technical end-user.
This standard describes the inter-relationships between privacy, security, and safety.

It provides guidance on new cabling installations and renovations. The customer premises may encompass one of more buildings or may be within a building that contains more than one organization. The cabling may be installed prior to the seelction of remote powering equipment or powered terminal equipment.

ISO/IEC 15045-3-2:2024 specifies cybersecurity requirements for protecting the privacy of premises and personally identifiable information through the use of the HES gateway and related HES standards. This document applies a set of principles including those specified in ISO/IEC 29100 that are applicable to the HES gateway such as consent, purpose legitimacy, collection limitation, data minimization, retention, accuracy, openness, and individual access.

ISO/IEC 15067-3:2024 focuses on a model of a system in homes and buildings that can manage energy consumption and generation of electricity by devices on premises dynamically in response to electricity availability from:
– sources within the home or building such as solar panels, wind turbines, or storage (stationary or mobile),
– neighbourhood microgrids,
– transactive energy,
– energy aggregators, and
– public utilities.
This document specifies a model including a framework and methods for energy management consisting of interconnected elements that can be configured to support various methods for a Home Electronic System (HES) energy management system. The methods specified are intended to be generic and representative of a wide range of situations. This document applies to the customer grid-edge portion of the electricity grid (within a home or building) and applies even if the consumer has sufficient local power generation to operate without connecting to a public utility.
This document includes an energy management model that balances power supplied from internal and external sources with demand from appliances and electric vehicle chargers. The model offers flexibility for locating the energy management equipment in a stand-alone product, embedded in consumer electronics, or hosted in a gateway. This gateway can be a generic communications interface between a home network and an external network, an energy management gateway designed for handling energy-related data, or the HES gateway specified in the ISO/IEC 15045 series.
This model specifies a local controller that achieves the allocation of power in accordance with available supplies, consumer preferences for appliance operation, and power requirements of these appliances within constraints set by the consumer. Such constraints are typically financial (a budget for electricity) but can also include goals such as using green sources and minimizing their impact on climate change. This controller is called the energy management agent (EMA) since it acts as an agent for the consumer. This model accommodates an EMA with technology of artificial intelligence to facilitate energy management.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) This edition revises ISO/IEC 15067-3:2012 by expanding beyond demand response to include a balance between multiple sources of power and appliance demands for this power.

This common user interface provides input and output methods for user information exchange to access, monitor, control and coordinate applications running on home cluster systems.
This document specifies the application object, service and interface modules from the interoperability standard (ISO/IEC 18012 series) necessary for interworking and incorporation of these modules in the HES gateway (ISO/IEC 15045 series).

ISO/IEC 15067-3-51:2024 specifies a Narrow AI Engine Framework including requirements for the Energy Management Agent (EMA) specified in ISO/IEC 15067-3. This standard includes specifications for an AI infrastructure to be embedded in an EMA serving a single structure (home or building) or community housing such as an apartment complex. The Narrow AI Engine specified in this standard for EMAs enables demand response functionality to be located in each EMA instead of an external energy management system. Thus, energy management can be adapted to local and customer needs. The Narrow AI Engine includes operational principles such as prediction, decision–making, and control.
This standard builds upon the EMA functions of ISO/IEC 15067-3 and ISO/IEC 15067-3-3. The AI functions specified in this standard support complex decisions about energy management for devices attached to home and buildings networks. These AI specifications enable the EMA to allocate power from public sources (including conventional and nonconventional sources) and local sources (wind, solar, and storage) according to price, availability, appliance and electric vehicle demands, customer preferences, and the customer’s budget.

ISO/IEC 15067-3-31:2024 specifies a protocol for energy management agents (EMAs) to facilitate communications among these agents for demand response (DR) energy management applications. The EMA protocol (EMAP) provides a logical connection among EMAs in community housing such as an apartment building or a campus of houses or apartment buildings. This document also specifies interaction procedures and message formats for DR energy management as introduced in ISO/IEC 15067-3-3. The EMAP supports interactions among EMAs at OSI (Open System Interconnection) layer 7 with a message transfer protocol. An EMA can be embedded in devices such as a thermostat, a smart appliance, or other consumer products. The choice of interconnection depends on the system and the network topology, which can be arranged in a mesh or hierarchical tree structure. An intermediate EMA may relay messages sent between EMAs.

ISO/IEC 15067-3-30:2024 specifies functional requirements and reference interfaces for interconnected energy management agents (EMAs) based on the model for an EMA specified in ISO/IEC 15067-3 and the model for multiple interacting EMAs specified in ISO/IEC 15067-3-3. This specification supports energy management by facilitating interactions and information exchange among EMAs and appliances, consumer electronics, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, water heaters, distributed energy resources (DERs), electric vehicle (EV) chargers, and other loads supplied by public and local power sources in a house or an apartment complex. Local power sources can use DER, which can include, but are not limited to, wind turbines, solar panels, and storage (stationary and mobile). EMAs specified with these functions and interfaces can assist the consumer in responding to price-varying public power and buying or selling transactive energy (TE).
This document specifies framework methods for EMAs to co-ordinate the delivery of energy management applications, and the reference interfaces facilitate a communications protocol among interacting EMAs. These linked and interacting EMAs provide energy optimization and conservation within constraints such as a consumer's financial budget and goals for greenhouse gas reduction, while supporting programmes as diverse as TE and demand response (DR).

ISO/IEC 14543-3-10:2020(E) specifies a wireless protocol for low-powered devices such as energy harvesting devices in a home environment. This wireless protocol is specifically designed to keep the energy consumption of such sensors and switches extremely low. The design is characterized by • keeping the communications very short, infrequent and mostly unidirectional, and • using communication frequencies that provide a good range even at low transmit power and avoid collisions from disturbers. This allows the use of small and low-cost energy harvesting devices that can compete with similar battery-powered devices. The messages sent by energy harvesting devices are received and processed mainly by line-powered devices such as relay switch actuators, repeaters or gateways. Together these form part of a home automation system, which, when conforming to ISO/IEC 14543 (all parts), is defined as a home electronic system. This document specifies OSI Layers 1 to 3 of the amplitude modulated wireless short-packet (AMWSP) protocols. The AMWSP protocol system consists of two and optionally three types of components that are specified in this document. These are the transmitter, the receiver and optionally the repeater. Repeaters are needed when the transmitter and the receiver are located in such a way that no good direct communication between them can be established. Protection against malicious attacks is handled in the upper layers and thus not treated in this document.
