The European Building Automation and Controls Association — Building Automation and Control System (BACS) requirements

The European Building Automation and Controls Association (eu.bac) has produced a compliance list for Building Automation and Control System (BACS) requirements, assisting EU member states to effectively implement the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). Stakeholders will be able to use the list as a reference to make certain that requirements in the EPBD are met adequately. In addition, this exhaustive tool will aim to help industry professionals recognize the systems that need to be enforced and differentiate between compliant and non-compliant buildings.
