Energy Performance of Buildings. Basic Principles for the set of EPB standards
This document describes the basic principles to be followed in the development and maintenance of standards intended to support the assessment of the overall energy performance of a building (EPB) using a holistic approach.
This document supports the development and maintenance of a set of EPB standards that provides a systematic, clear, consistent and comprehensive methodology for the benefit of professionals and government entities.
The main application is the assessment of the overall energy performance of a building in the context of building regulations, e.g. to specify EP requirements, EP rating and EP certificates.
The principles cover general and common aspects on the required quality, accuracy, usability, consistency and interoperability of the EPB standards as a set and individually.
For that purpose, this document provides guidance on the process, structure and layout of these EPB standards and accompanying publications, complementary to the CEN and ISO internal regulations.
This document forms the basis for detailed technical rules given in CEN/TS 16629, in the overarching EPB standard, EN ISO 52000-1:2017, and in supporting documents.
