This Standard defines and prescribes processes and requirements for ongoing energy
consumption management of the audiovisual (AV) system. It identifies requirements for the control
and continuous monitoring of electrical power for AV systems, whereby energy is conserved
whenever possible, and components operate at the lowest energy-consuming state possible
without compromising the system’s performance for user needs. AV systems that conform to this
Standard will meet the defined requirements for automation, monitoring, reporting, and
documentation.
