25.11 The Smart Building's Secret Language

A whole set of ISSO publications offer a comprehensive overview of sustainable management and maintenance, with a focus on HVAC systems in buildings. They describe how performance can be measured and monitored using performance indicators, with specific attention to energy consumption, indoor climate, and technical functionality. The texts also address the design requirements for building management systems (BMS), emphasizing how these contribute to efficiency and comfort. Furthermore, they discuss measurement points and measurement methods for reliable data collection, as well as the process engineering required for the design and control of HVAC systems, including control parameters and hydraulic circuits. The documents emphasize the importance of an integrated approach for optimal performance and cost savings in building management.
