This document specifies the definition and calculation of surface area and volume indicators.
In defining area measurement, this document uses three measurement concepts:
a) the intra-muros and extra-muros concept used in many parts of the world;
b) the wall centre method of measurement used in many parts of the world;
c) variations on these methods to comply with certain national laws or for particular types of
buildings.
The surface area and volume indicators defined in this document are intended for practical use, as a
basis for measuring various aspects of the performance of buildings or as a planning aid. In other words,
they should enable judgement to be made on functional, technical and economic aspects of buildings.
This document is intended to be used when establishing
— specifications for the geometric performance of a building and its spaces (e.g. in design, purchasing
procedures, etc., or in building regulations where appropriate),
— technical documentation relating to the performance of whole buildings prepared by designers,
contractors and manufacturers,
— the amount of floor area that will not be effectively available for the placement of an individual’s
workplace, furniture, equipment, or for circulation, and
— evaluation, comparison or control of the properties of a building which are connected to its geometric
performance.
NOTE Although there are a variety of methods of area measurement around the world depending on the
country and/or types of buildings, all measuring methods are not necessarily of practical use because of inability
to identify real area (e.g. the wall centre method of measurement). Thus, this document specializes in the
measurement solely for practical use.

ISO 13370:2017 provides methods of calculation of heat transfer coefficients and heat flow rates for building elements in thermal contact with the ground, including slab‐on‐ground floors, suspended floors and basements. It applies to building elements, or parts of them, below a horizontal plane in the bounding walls of the building situated
- at the level of the inside floor surface, for slab‐on‐ground floors, suspended floors and unheated basements;
NOTE 1 In some cases, external dimension systems define the boundary at the lower surface of the floor slab.
- at the level of the external ground surface, for heated basements.
ISO 13370:2017 includes calculation of the steady‐state part of the heat transfer (the annual average rate of heat flow) and the part due to annual periodic variations in temperature (the seasonal variations of the heat flow rate about the annual average). These seasonal variations are obtained on a monthly basis and, except for the application to dynamic simulation programmes in Annex D, ISO 13370:2017 does not apply to shorter periods of time.

ISO 13786:2017 specifies the characteristics related to the dynamic thermal behaviour of a complete building component and provides methods for their calculation. It also specifies the information on building materials required for the use of the building component. Since the characteristics depend on the way materials are combined to form building components, ISO 13786:2017 is not applicable to building materials or to unfinished building components.
The definitions given in ISO 13786:2017 are applicable to any building component. A simplified calculation method is provided for plane components consisting of plane layers of substantially homogeneous building materials.
Annex C provides simpler methods for the estimation of the heat capacities in some limited cases. These methods are suitable for the determination of dynamic thermal properties required for the estimation of energy consumption. These approximations are not appropriate, however, for product characterization.

This International Standard gives simplified calculation methods for: a) The internal surface temperature of a building component or building element below which mould growth is likely, given the internal temperature and relative humidity. The method can also be used to assess the risk of other internal surface condensation problems. b) The assessment of the risk of interstitial condensation due to water vapour diffusion. The method used does not take account of a number of important physical phenomena including: - the variation of material properties with moisture content; - capillary suction and liquid moisture transfer within materials; - air movement from within the building into the component through gaps or within air spaces; - the hygroscopic moisture capacity of materials. Consequently, the method is applicable only where the effects of these phenomena can be considered to be negligible. c) The time taken for water, from any source, in a layer between two high vapour resistance layers to dry out and the risk of interstitial condensation occurring elsewhere in the component during the drying process.

Specifies a test method for determining the equilibrium concentration of formaldehyde from formaldehyde-emitting coatings and melamine foams in a small test chamber. It describes the determination of the equilibrium concentration of formaldehyde that is established in air at 23 ¦C and 50 % relative humidity. The test closely simulates practical conditions and can be performed on a laboratory scale. Good correlation is obtained with values obtained on samples of the same material in a 40 m¦ test chamber. The method, which is simple to perform, is therefore suitable for the preliminary determination of limits that have to be adhered to.

-   This European Standard specifies the indoor environmental parameters which have an impact on the energy performance of buildings.
-   The standard specifies how to establish indoor environmental input parameters for building system design and energy performance calculations.
-   The standard specifies methods for long term evaluation of the indoor environment obtained as a result of calculations or measurements.
-   The standard specifies criteria for measurements which can be used if required to measure compliance by inspection.
-   The standard identifies parameters to be used by monitoring and displaying the indoor environment in existing buildings.
   This standard is applicable mainly in non-industrial buildings where the criteria for indoor environment are set by human occupancy and where the production or process does not have a major impact on indoor environment. The standard is thus applicable to the following building types: single family houses, apartment buildings, offices, educational buildings, hospitals, hotels and restaurants, sports facilities, wholesale and retail trade service buildings.
-   The standard specifies how different categories of criteria for the indoor environment can be used. But does not require certain criteria to be used. This is up to national regulations or individual project specifications.
-   The recommended criteria in this standard can also be used in national calculation methods, which may be different to the methods referred to here.
-   The standard does not prescribe design methods, but give input parameters to the design of buildings, heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting systems
-   The standard does not include criteria for local discomfort factors like draught, radiant temperature asymmetry, vertical air temperature differences and floor surface temperatures.

This European standard describe the method to calculate the ventilation air flow rates for buildings to be used for applications such as energy calculations, heat and cooling load calculation, summer comfort and indoor air quality evaluation.
The ventilation and air tightness requirements (as IAQ, heating and cooling, safety, fire protection…) are not part of the standard.
For these different applications, the same iterative method is used but the input parameter has to be selected according to the field of application. For specific applications a direct calculation is also defined in this standard. A simplified approach is also allowed at national level following prescribed rules of implementation.
The method is meant to be applied to :
-   Mechanically ventilated building (mechanical exhaust, mechanical supply or balanced system).
-   Passive ducts.
-   Hybrid system switching between mechanical and natural modes.
-   Windows opening by manual operation for airing or summer comfort issues.
Automatic windows (or openings) are not directly considered here.
Industry process ventilation is out of the scope.
Kitchen where cooking is for immediate use are part of the standards (including restaurants..)
Other Kitchens are not part of the standard
The standard is not directly applicable for buildings higher than 100m and rooms where vertical air temperature difference is higher than 15K
The results provided by the standard are the building envelope flows either through leakages or purpose provided openings and the air flows due to the ventilation system, taking into account the product and system characteristics.

The scope of this European Standard is
-   To define the procedure how the calculation methods to determine the temperatures, sensible loads and energy demands for the rooms shall be used in the design process.
-   To describe the calculation methods to determine the latent room cooling and heating load, the building heating, cooling, humidification and dehumidification loads and the system heating, cooling, humidification and dehumidification loads.
-   To define the general approach for the calculation of the overall energy performance of buildings with room conditioning systems
-   To describe one or more simplified calculation methods for the system energy requirements of specific system types, based on the building energy demand result from prEN ISO 13790, and to define their field of application.
A general framework standard is given which imposes an hourly calculation for all cases which cannot be covered by simplified methods, and gives requirements on what has to be taken into account. Input and output data are defined.
The target audience of this standard is twofold:
-   Designers of HVAC systems, which are given an overview of the design process with the relevant references to the different involved standards (Clauses 5 to 12)
-   Developers of regulations and tools, which find requirements for calculation procedures to be used for the energy requirements according to the EPBD (Clauses 13 and 14).
The idea followed by this standard is, that for the detailed approach one single calculation method is used for the different room related purposes such as room temperature calculation, room cooling and heating load calculation, and room energy calculation. This means, for the building type envisaged (buildings with room conditioning systems) it is an alternative to simplified calculation methods such as heating load according to EN 12831 and heating energy according to prEN ISO 13790.

The purpose of the standard is to:
a)   collate results from other standards that calculate energy use for specific services within a building;
b)   account for energy generated in the building, some of which may be exported for use elsewhere;
c)   present a summary of the overall energy use of the building in tabular form;
d)   provide energy ratings based on primary energy, carbon dioxide emission or other parameters defined by national energy policy;
e)   establish general principles for the calculation of primary energy factors and carbon emission coefficients.
This standard defines the energy services to be taken into account for setting energy performance ratings for planned and existing buildings, and provides for this:
f)   method to compute the standard calculated energy rating, a standard energy use that does not depend on occupant behaviour, actual weather and other actual (environment or indoor) conditions;
g)   method to assess the measured energy rating, based on the delivered and exported energy;
h)   methodology to improve confidence in the building calculation model by comparison with actual energy use;
i)   method to assess the energy effectiveness of possible improvements.
This European standard is applicable to a part of a building (e.g. flat), a whole building, or several buildings.
It is up to national bodies to define under which conditions, for which purposes and for which types of buildings the various ratings apply.
This standard handles the energy performance of a building as a whole. The assessment of the energy performance of specific technical building systems is handled in the appropriate part of EN 15241, prEN 15243 and prEN 15316 series.
