The achievable energy efficiency of buildings is determined during the planning and construction phases by the building design and the selection of component qualities. Subsequent consumption is also significantly influenced by actual usage. In non-residential buildings, this involves control parameters (e.g., operating times, flow temperatures, air volumes) to a relevant extent. Building automation offers the opportunity to optimize energy consumption during operation. The working group aims to identify the potential and provide concrete assistance in exploiting it. The working group will develop suitable control variables and strategies for typical passive non-residential buildings that ensure energy-efficient and planned operation of the building and help to identify malfunctions and inappropriate operating parameters on the basis of consumption controls. Target parameters, algorithms, and field devices with low standby consumption will then be derived and published.
