VDI 3813-1 (Fundamentals of room control) and VDI 3813-2 (Room control functions), published by the German Association of Engineers (VDI), are the worldwide first technical guidelines for electrical and building automation planners with a focus on room control. It complements the established guideline ISO 16484-3 (BACS functions) and allows a function-oriented specification of room control equipment up to Energy Efficiency Class A according to EN 15232. Whereas part 1 provides a common basic understanding of all fundamentals, part 2 defines all specific functions in detail including their impact on energy efficiency. This document also delivers related software tools like automation schemata and function lists.
The guidelines are avaiable at www.beuth.de/en.
