Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 16484-1 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 247, Building automation, controls and building management, in collaboration with ISO Technical
Committee ISO/TC 205, Building environment design, in accordance with the Agreement on technical
cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).

ISO 16484-1:2010(E)
Introduction
ISO 16484 (all parts) is aimed at the design of new buildings and the retrofitting of existing buildings for an
acceptable indoor environment, practical energy conservation, and efficiency.
ISO 16484 (all parts) is applicable to building automation and control systems (BACS), as follows:
⎯ The environmental design for all building types requires complex methods of automation and control. The
functional integration of services other than heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) is a general
task for all parties employed to develop an integrated multi-application system. The integration comprises,
for example, lighting and electric power distribution control, security control, transportation, maintenance
management or facilities management. This system integration allows the user to take advantage of
synergies between the different applications. ISO 16484 (all parts) gives guidance to architects,
consultants and contractors as well as guidance to users on how to share such resources.
⎯ The innovation cycles between devices, systems and networks vary. In order 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 ISO 16484 along with the necessary communications protocol and conformance test
required to support the interworking of devices.
⎯ A manufacturer, a systems house, or an electrical or mechanical contractor can assemble the
implementation of a building automation and control system.
⎯ The application of ISO 16484 (all parts) 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 the
functionality and the quality of the solution are clearly defined.
ISO 16484 (all parts) 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 ISO 16484 (all parts);
⎯ in product development, to avoid unnecessary duplication of function or terminology, but not necessarily
placing 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 procurement;
⎯ as a code of practice for expert commissioning;
⎯ by educational establishments wishing to train people in the field of BACS.

5 Requirements and recommendations
5.1 Overview
5.1.1 General
The BACS project normally commences after the client appoints a BACS consultant or supplier.
The quality of the implementation of a BACS is dependent on the design of building systems and the
specification of the commissioning process. The scope of commissioning referred to in this part of ISO 16484
is as defined in ISO 16484-2:2004, 3.42. In order to produce and maintain the required quality of building
performance after the implementation has been completed, application of a commissioning process for review
and improvement of commissioned values is recommended. Retro or continuous commissioning, including a
commissioning authority, is not within the scope of this International Standard.
5.1.2 Phases of the BACS project
This clause specifies the main actions and decisions necessary in order to implement a project in the different
phases (see Figure 1). It serves for all the parties involved in the different phases of a project. The phases of a
project associated with the implementation of a BACS are as follows.
5.1.2.1 Design phase
The design phase consists of:
a) the determination of project requirements;
b) the project planning and organization;
c) the technical specification;
d) the establishment of a contract.
5.1.2.2 Engineering phase
The engineering phase consists of:
a) project planning and coordination;
b) detailed function and hardware specification design;
c) engineering design approval;
d) hardware configuration;

ISO 16484-1:2010(E)
e) control strategy and processing functions configuration;
f) management and operator functions configuration;
g) system testing.
5.1.2.3 Installation phase
The installation phase consists of:
a) installing;
b) BACS commissioning.
5.1.2.4 Completion phase
The completion phase consists of:
a) system demonstration;
b) operator training;
c) handover;
d) acceptance;
e) finalization;
f) completion decision.
5.1.3 Documentation
Work done during the engineering, installation and completion phases will serve as a basis for providing
as-built documentation, see 5.6.
5.1.4 Training
Work done during the engineering, installation and completion phases will serve as a basis for providing
training, see 5.7.
5.1.5 Reviewing and improving building performance
This phase has been included for completeness. It does not form part of a BACS project but, after completion,
improved building performance (according to the actual use) can be achieved by the BACS if the
commissioned values are reviewed and amended periodically, providing improved energy performance and
reduced operating costs. This can be achieved through the commissioning process, which is not covered in
this International Standard.
5.1.6 Graphical overview
A possible sequence of the important decisions and activities in each phase is shown in Figure 1. It is not
prescriptive; some activities can be carried out earlier or later, depending on the project requirements, e.g.
documentation and training.

5.2 Design phase
5.2.1 General
This section specifies tasks to be carried out in the design process of the various parts of a BACS. It is
assumed that at the start of the design process, the information necessary in order to accommodate a BACS
is available. The tasks to perform are project and system-specific.
The design phase covers the following areas:
a) determination of project requirements;
b) project planning and organization;
c) design documents and technical specification;
d) the contract.
Owners and users of buildings can benefit from the integration of various technical building systems. In cases
of system integration, it is important that parties agree on the particular meaning of system integration with
respect to the specific project requirements. Project management consideration shall be given to the
functional operation responsibility for attached subsystems.
5.2.2 Determination of project requirements
5.2.2.1 Overview
In order to meet the client's requirements, the general project requirements for the BACS should take into
account the following:
a) general considerations;
b) integration requirements;
c) physical requirements;
d) occupational requirements;
e) system requirements;
f) site and client-specific requirements.
Attention should also be given to energy performance.
The description of project requirements shall be approved by the client.
5.2.2.2 General considerations
When considering the determination of system requirements, the following factors should be taken into
account:
a) building structure, e.g. metal frame, concrete, size, thermally active building components, historical
construction (listed objects);
b) type of building(s), e.g. high rise, one storey, open campus, tunnel;
c) building usage type and profile, e.g. hospital, single/multi tenant, industrial, commercial, residential;
