Introduction
This series of standards is intended for design of new buildings and retrofit of existing buildings for an
acceptable indoor environment, practical energy conservation and efficiency.
The application of this series of standards for BACS is envisaged as follows:
— the environmental design for all building types requires complex methods for automation and
control. The functional integration of services other than HVAC e.g. lighting and electric power
distribution control, security control, transportation, maintenance management or facilities
management is a general task for all parties employed to develop an integrated multi-application
system. This integration allows the user to take advantage of synergies between the different
applications. This standard will give guidance to architects, consultants and contractors as well as
to users on how to share such resources,
— the innovation cycles between devices, systems and networks vary. To make it possible to add
and to change existing devices, and extend the building automation and control network, several
interfaces both proprietary and standardized are defined between the BACS network and the other
systems. A manufacturer can design a product, both to meet his specific marketing objectives and
to give the option to integrate that special device into a multi-application BACS. Interfaces are also
defined in appropriate parts of this standard along with the necessary communications protocol
and conformance test required to support the inter-working of devices,
— a manufacturer, a systems house, or an electrical or mechanical contractor can assemble an
implementation of a building automation and control system,
— the application of this standard is not to standardize the hardware and software design or the
architecture of a System, but to define the process for the creation of project specifications, where
functionality and the quality of the solution are clearly defined.
The purpose of this series of standards is intended for use by those involved in the design, manufacture,
engineering, installation, commissioning, operational maintenance and training of BACS when
contracted, i.e.:
— as a guide to the terminology of the building automation and control trade. Unambiguous terminology
is required for a complete and accurate conveyance of the intent and details of this standard;
— in product development, to avoid unnecessary duplication of function or terminology, but should not
place a restraint on the evolution of new products, systems or applications;
— as a basis for interfacing products and systems. In order to interoperate, the elements of a BACS
require a unified data communication protocol and information model;
— as a basis for drawing up a project specification for the procurement of building automation and
control products for systems suppliers and customers;
— as a code of practice for expertly commissioning prior to handover of a system;
— by educational establishments wishing to train people in the field of building automation and control
systems.
This entire series of BACS standards consists of the following contents:
Part 1: Overview and definitions (in preparation)
Part 1 of this standard describes the objectives and interrelationships of all parts of this standard. It
provides an overview and detailed information about the structure of the related series of standards
for the BACS industry.

This part of the standard provides also the vocabulary with terms and definitions for the understanding
of the entire series of this standard and it contains a translation of the main terms in English, French,
Russian, and German in an informative annex.
This ongoing work is coordinated at expert level with standards work from ISO/TC 205/WG 3 and
CEN/TC 247/WG 3, WG 4, WG 5 and WG 6.
Part 2: Hardware (refer to the scope of this part)
Part 3: Functions
Part 3 of this standard specifies the requirements for the overall functionality and engineering
services to achieve building automation and control systems. It defines terms, which shall be used for
specifications and it gives guidelines for the functional documentation of project/application specific
systems. It provides a template for documentation of plant/application specific functions, called BACS
function list in annex A.
The informative function block examples explain a method to display the referenced functions in system
documentation; they do not standardize the method for programming functions and applications.
This Part 3 of the standard covers the following:
Requirements and definitions regarding BACS and application software, generic functions for
plant/project specific applications and engineering functions for building controls and operations. It
provides communication functions for the integration of other dedicated special system processes. The
functional requirements in this part of the standard are subdivided as follows:
— System management and application software:
describes the requirements for plant independent system and human system interface programs
related to a project, including the operating system. This standard does not dedicate the following
system functionality to any particular hardware, e.g.:
— system diagnostics, watchdog, redundancy, time keeping, access control, log lists;
— point identification, event message handling, print control;
— database, statistics, data archiving, remote access;
— system communications.
— Human system interface (HSI), point information presentation, graphics, alarms, time scheduling
— Engineering process and tool software:
describes the requirements for configuring of the hardware and control strategies, the system
management and the commissioning process.
— BACS application processing programs and plant/application specific functions:
describes the requirements for plant, application and / or project specific functions and a method for
the documentation of a project. The functions are subdivided into the following types:
— input and output functions;
— processing functions;
— management functions and required communications;
— operator functions.

Part 3 defines a method for creating the procurement specifications containing all essential elements
required for the operational functioning of a BACS. The successful installation and operation of a BACS
requires that its procurement be based on a complete specification with accurately defined functions.
The standard provides a template called the ‘BACS function list’ that can be found in annex A
(normative). Its purpose is to determine and document the options for plant / application specific
functionality. Further explanations can be given in form of plant/control descriptions, control flow
chart diagrams, and plant/control schematics. Examples are given in annex B (informative). The exact
specifications will be project-specific. Information about the standardized functions is given in the
form of informative examples as function-blocks, textual, and graphical descriptions in 5.5.
It is recognized, that functions can be described and implemented in many different ways, depending on:
— climatic differences;
— cultural and regional differences;
— national regulations.
Part 4: Applications
Part 4 of this standard specifies the requirements for specific communicating applications/devices, e.g.
for general room automation and for sophisticated optimization of controls for heating, fan coil and
induction units, CAV, VAV and radiant cooling.
This work will be coordinated at expert level with standards work from ISO/TC 205/WG 3 and
CEN/TC 247.
Part 5: Data Communication – Protocol
Part 5 of this standard specifies data communication services and objects for computer equipment and
controllers used for monitoring and control of HVAC&R and other systems of building services.
This protocol provides a comprehensive set of objects for conveying encoded binary, analog, and
alphanumeric data between devices including, but not limited to:
— input measuring: analog input object;
— output positioning/set-point: analog output object;
— binary input counting;
— input state: binary input object, multi-state input;
— output switching: binary output object, multi-state output;
— values: analog value, binary value, multi-state value, accumulated value, averaging object, trend
log object;
— text string;
— schedule information;
— alarm and event information;
— files; and
— control programs and parameters respectively.
This protocol models each building automation and control system as a collection of data structures
called objects, the properties of which represent various aspects of the hardware, software, and
operation of the device. These objects provide a means of identifying and accessing information without
requiring knowledge of the details of the device’s internal design or configuration.

An overview of possible integration with other systems in buildings, e.g. fire, security, access control,
maintenance and facilities management, is shown in Figure 1 of Part 2 of this standard.
Part 6: Data Communication – Conformance testing
Part 6 of the standard specifies the technical requirements of the conformance test suite and the
methods for testing the products for the conformance with the protocol. It provides a comprehensive
set of procedures for verifying the correct implementation of each capability claimed on a BACS network
protocol implementation conformance statement (PICS) including:
a) support of each claimed BACS network service, either as an client (initiator), server (executor),
or both;
b) support of each claimed BACS network object-type, including both required properties and each
claimed optional property;
c) support of the BACS network layer protocol;
d) support of each claimed data link option, and
e) support of all claimed special functionality.
Part 7: Project specification and implementation
Part 7 of this standard specifies methods for project specification and implementation of BACS and
for integration of other systems into the BACS. This standard defines terms to be used for project
specifications and gives guidelines for integration of other systems.
a) Project specification and implementation:
This clause of the standard describes the procedures (codes of practice) required for the following:
— project specification;
These procedures also contain an example for a plant/system/customer premises wide unique
structured addressing system for data point identification;
— engineering;
— installation;
— project handover.
b) System integration:
This clause of the standard describes the special requirements/procedures for the integration and
implementation of intersystem communication with foreign systems and the interconnection of other
units/devices with integrated communications interfaces, e.g. chillers, elevators.
