Abstract: Well-designed and properly implemented Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) can contribute to a reduction of the energy consumption in buildings, while increasing comfort and convenience for the occupants. For design and planning purposes, there is a need to quantify the potential impacts of implementing BACS, especially related to their capability for reducing the operational energy demand of a building. The simplified BAC factor method defined in standard EN 15232 aims to provide a generic estimation of expected energy savings. Alternatively, dynamic energy performance simulations can provide more detailed insights on a particular building design.
