Requirements of the GEG for Building Automation
The legislator has recognized that energy savings in non-residential buildings do not occur automatically. Therefore, Section 71a of the German Building Energy Act (GEG) establishes more or less clear requirements for:
a) the technical equipment of buildings, and
b) the personnel responsible for the energy-relevant operational management.
The requirements focus on building automation management, particularly the Energy Management System (EnMS) and the Management and Control System (MCS, commonly referred to as BMS – Building Management System). This includes both system functions and the operating personnel.
