Load shedding (C) is the primary function of a BAS that supports energy management by reducing electrical demand during peak periods.

How does it work?

BAS automatically adjusts or turns off non-essential loads to avoid high peak charges.

Reduces strain on the grid and lowers operating costs.

Why not other options?

(A) Thermal coupling deals with heat transfer, not peak demand control.

(B) Capacity management optimizes energy use but does not actively reduce peak loads.

(D) Cycle management refers to operational sequences, not energy reduction.

Life-cycle costing (LCC) accounts for all costs associated with a building throughout its lifespan, including:

Initial costs (planning, design, construction).

Operational costs (utilities, maintenance, repairs).

End-of-life costs (renovation, decommissioning, disposal).

LCC enables informed decision-making by comparing long-term cost implications of different design and material choices, supporting sustainable and cost-effective facility management​.

ISO 14001 is the internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems (EMS)​.

ISO 14001 (A) provides a framework for organizations to monitor, measure, and improve their environmental impact.

ISO 14021 (B) deals with self-declared environmental claims, not full EMS.

ISO 14025 (C) pertains to environmental labeling and declarations.

ISO 14024 (D) addresses environmental labeling programs.

ISO 14001 helps organizations establish a structured approach to sustainability and regulatory compliance​.
