eu.bac Certification - The European Certification System for Energy Efficiency
in the range of Home and Building Automation and Services.
Background
Different EU-Directives and National Regulations regarding energy saving and energy performance of buildings require proof of energy efficiency.
These requirements and rising energy costs are encouraging owners and occupiers of buildings to reduce their energy consumption. The cost for energy will be a critical factor in property rental in the future.
Building Automation Controls and Services (BACS) are strongly involved. BACS technologies cover products and systems for Building engineering. BAC Systems monitor, optimise, interlock and control heating systems, air conditioning systems, cooling systems, lighting systems, blinds, fire and security systems, elevators etc..
BACS technology is a pre-condition for energy efficiency and safety in buildings, particularly for apartment blocks, offices, education buildings, hospitals, hotels etc. to significantly and permanently reduce energy consumption and also carbon dioxide emissions.
Experience in installation and managing building automation systems shows a typical energy saving of up to 20%.
In response to these requirements, eu.bac – the European Building Automation and Controls Association - set up the European Certification Scheme for Building Automation.
The eu.bac Certification Mark assures users the conformity of products and systems defined in European Directives and European Standards. The registered eu.bac Cert Mark is a symbol that expresses Energy Efficiency and Quality. eu.bac Cert Mark is the European Quality Label for products and systems in the area Building Automation and Controls.
The Mark is granted for a 5-year period. The Certification Procedure requires periodic tests and factory inspection by third parties.
To achieve this, eu.bac cooperate with the leading European Certification Bodies ASTA BEAB Certification Services (UK), Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment - CSTB (F) and WSPCert (D). The eu.bac empowered Certification Bodies operates in accordance with EN 45011 and they are accredited by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF).
eu.bac authorised Test Laboratories are BSRIA (UK), C.S.T.B Lab (F) and WSPLab (D).
