Scope

This document gives an explanation of the term “smart building” from the perspective of the CEN TC247 Technical Committee.

Purpose

The use of a building changes over its lifespan and adapts to changing usage and functional expectations of the users regarding desired comfortable shelter, living and/or working space.

This can relate to:

• Building structure

• Building operation

• Energy efficiency

• Maintenance and fault prediction

• Comfort

• Convenience

• Health and wellbeing

• Information to occupants

• Energy flexibility and storage

The goal of integrating building automation control systems is to ensure maximum cost-neutrality and environmental compatibility for the owner over the entire service life of a building. If this goal is fulfilled for a specific building, then this building would be regarded as “smart”
