Energy performance of buildings - Detailed technical rules for the set of EPB-standards; German version CEN/TS 16629:2024
Abstract
This document describes the detailed technical rules 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. The main goal is to obtain and maintain a set of EPB standards that provide 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 guidance covers 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 is based on the basic princiles given in CEN/TS 16628, and is complemented by the overarching EPB standard, EN ISO 52000-1EN ISO 52000-1 and supporting documents.
