Overview

EN ISO 52000-1:2017 - "Energy performance of buildings - Overarching EPB assessment - Part 1: General framework and procedures" (CEN adoption of ISO 52000-1:2017) defines a systematic, modular framework for assessing the overall energy performance of new and existing buildings. It is applicable to both calculation and measurement approaches and supports assessment in terms of primary energy and other energy-related metrics. The standard is designed to be holistic, covering building design, “as built” verification, in‑use performance and renovation contexts.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Modular, overarching framework for EPB (Energy Performance of Buildings) assessments that integrates multiple EPB standards and methods.
• Assessment methods: procedures for both measured energy performance and calculated performance, and routes to compare the two.
• Output and normalization: definition of output data, normalization to building size (reference floor area), and categorization by building/space types.
• Input data categories: product data, system design data, operating conditions, constants and physical data, and other required inputs.
• Time handling: specification of calculation and measurement intervals and the overall calculation/measurement period.
• Assessment boundary and perimeters: principles for defining what building elements, systems and external supplies are included in the EPB boundary (including multi‑building scenarios).
• Overall energy performance metrics: weighted overall energy balance, use of primary energy factors, greenhouse gas emission factors, and optional additional weighting or cost factors.
• Reporting and comparison: procedures for measured energy reporting and for comparing measured vs. calculated energy performance.
• Terminology and symbols: comprehensive terms, definitions, symbols and abbreviations to ensure consistent EPB assessments.

Applications and users

EN ISO 52000-1:2017 is intended for stakeholders who need consistent, repeatable assessment of building energy performance:

• Energy assessors and certifiers performing compliance checks and EPCs
• Designers and architects using EPB metrics during building design and specification
• Mechanical/HVAC engineers and system integrators defining system boundaries and efficiencies
• Facility managers and building owners monitoring in‑use performance and renovations
• Policy makers and regulators developing energy performance requirements and reference methods
• Researchers conducting building energy studies and benchmarking

Related standards

• Part of the ISO/CEN EPB modular set (see Table 1 in the standard’s Introduction for position within the series).
• EN ISO 52000-1:2017 supersedes EN 15603:2008; it aligns EPB assessment procedures across the broader ISO 52000 family.

Keywords: EN ISO 52000-1:2017, energy performance of buildings, EPB assessment, primary energy, building energy calculation, measured energy performance, building design, renovation, energy certification.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

ISO 52000-1:2017(E)
Introduction
This document is part of a series aimed at the international harmonization of the methodology for
assessing the energy performance of buildings. Throughout, this series is referred to as a “set of EPB
standards”.
All EPB standards follow specific rules to ensure overall consistency, unambiguity and transparency.
All EPB standards provide a certain flexibility with regard to the methods, the required input data and
references to other EPB standards, by the introduction of a normative template in Annex A and Annex B
with informative default choices.
For the correct use of this document, a normative template is given in Annex A to specify these choices.
Informative default choices are provided in Annex B.
The main target groups for this document are architects, engineers and regulators.
Use by or for regulators: In case the document is used in the context of national or regional legal
requirements, mandatory choices may be given at national or regional level for such specific
applications. These choices (either the informative default choices from Annex B or choices adapted to
national/regional needs, but in any case following the template of Annex A) can be made available as
national annex or as separate (e.g. legal) document (national data sheet).
NOTE 1 So in this case:
— the regulators will specify the choices;
— the individual user will apply the document to assess the energy performance of a building, and thereby use
the choices made by the regulators.
Topics addressed in this document can be subject to public regulation. Public regulation on the same
topics can override the default values in Annex B. Public regulation on the same topics can even, for
certain applications, override the use of this document. Legal requirements and choices are in general
not published in standards but in legal documents. In order to avoid double publications and difficult
updating of double documents, a national annex may refer to the legal texts where national choices
have been made by public authorities. Different national annexes or national data sheets are possible,
for different applications.
It is expected, if the default values, choices and references to other EPB standards in Annex B are not
followed due to national regulations, policy or traditions, that:
— national or regional authorities prepare data sheets containing the choices and national or regional
values, according to the model in Annex A. In this case a national annex (e.g. NA) is recommended,
containing a reference to these data sheets;
— or, by default, the national standards body will consider the possibility to add or include a national
annex in agreement with the template of Annex A, in accordance to the legal documents that give
national or regional values and choices.
Further target groups are parties wanting to motivate their assumptions by classifying the building
energy performance for a dedicated building stock.

More information is provided in the Technical Report accompanying this document ISO/TR 52000-2 .
The framework for overall EPB includes:
a) common terms, definitions and symbols;
b) building and assessment boundaries;
c) building partitioning into space categories;
ISO 52000-1:2017(E)
d) methodology for calculating the EPB (formulae on energy used, delivered, produced and/or
exported at the building site and nearby);
e) a set of overall formulae and input-output relations, linking the various elements relevant for the
assessment of the overall EPB;
f) general requirements for EPB dealing with partial calculations;
g) rules for the combination of different spaces into zones;
h) performance indicators;
i) methodology for measured energy performance assessment.
Table 1 shows the relative position of this document within the set of EPB standards in the context of
the modular structure as set out in ISO 52000-1.

NOTE 2 In ISO/TR 52000-2 the same table can be found, with, for each module, the numbers of the relevant
EPB standards and accompanying technical reports that are published or in preparation.
NOTE 3 The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard could cover more than one module
and one module could be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance, a simplified and a detailed method
respectively. See also Tables A.1 and B.1.

Energy performance of buildings — Overarching EPB
assessment —
Part 1:
General framework and procedures
1 Scope
This document establishes a systematic, comprehensive and modular structure for assessing the energy
performance of new and existing buildings (EPB) in a holistic way.
It is applicable to the assessment of overall energy use of a building, by measurement or calculation,
and the calculation of energy performance in terms of primary energy or other energy-related metrics.
It takes into account the specific possibilities and limitations for the different applications, such as
building design, new buildings ‘as built’, and existing buildings in the use phase as well as renovation.
NOTE Table 1 in the Introduction shows the relative position of this document within the set of EPB
standards in the context of the modular structure as set out in this document.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 7345:1987, Thermal insulation — Physical quantities and definitions
NOTE Default references to EPB standards other than ISO 52000-1 are identified by the EPB module code
number and given in Annex A (normative template in Table A.1) and Annex B (informative default choice in
Table B.1).
EXAMPLE EPB module code number: M5–5, or M5–5.1 (if module M5–5 is subdivided), or M5–5/1 (if
reference to a specific clause of the documents covering M5–5).
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 7345:1987 and the
following apply.
Clause 3 includes terms that are not used in this document, but that are needed for overall consistency
in the EPB standards.
NOTE 1 An alphabetic list of all terms defined in this document is given in Annex F.

3.1 Building
3.1.1
assessed object
building, part of a building or portfolio of buildings that is the object of the energy performance
assessment
Note 1 to entry: The assessed object comprises all spaces and technical systems which may contribute to or
influence the energy performance assessment.
Note 2 to entry: The assessed object may include one or several building units, if these are not individually object
of the energy performance assessment.
Note 3 to entry: A distinction may be made between e.g. a designed building, new building after construction,
existing building in the use phase and existing building after major renovation.
3.1.2
building
construction as a whole, including the fabric and all technical building systems, where energy may be
used to condition the indoor environment, to provide domestic hot water and illumination and other
services related to the use of the building
Note 1 to entry: The term refers to the physical building as a whole, or to all parts thereof, that at least include the
spaces and technical building systems that are relevant for the energy performance assessment.
Note 2 to entry: Parts of a building can be physically detached, but are on the same building site. For example: a
canteen or a guard house or one or more classrooms of a school in a detached part of a building; or an essential
space in a dwelling (e.g., bedroom).
3.1.3
building category
unit category
classification of buildings and/or building units related to their main use or their special status, for the
purpose of enabling differentiation of the energy performance assessment procedures and/or energy
performance requirements
EXAMPLE Buildings officially protected as part of a designated environment or because of their special
architectural or historical merit, buildings used as places of worship and for religious activities, residential
buildings, (a) single-family houses of different types;(b) apartment blocks;(c) offices;(d) educational buildings;(e)
hospitals;(f) hotels and restaurants;(g) sports facilities;(h) wholesale and retail trade services buildings;(i) data
centres; (j) other types of energy-consuming buildings.
Note 1 to entry: Building regulations often make a distinction between building categories.
Note 2 to entry: The building category, for instance, may determine if energy performance assessment is
mandatory (e.g., not for religious or historic buildings) and which are the minimum energy performance
requirements (e.g., for new buildings); in some countries measured energy performance of a building is
prescribed for specific categories of buildings (e.g., apartment buildings, large public buildings), etc. Another
type of categorization is the distinction between new and existing and renovated buildings.
Note 3 to entry: Many buildings or building units of a given (use) category contain spaces of different (use)
categories; for instance an office building may contain a restaurant; see 3.1.14 definition of space category.
Note 4 to entry: The allocation of a building category may also have a strong impact on other parts of the building
regulations, for instance on safety (e.g., emergency exits, strength of floor) or indoor environmental quality (e.g.,
minimum ventilation rates).
3.1.4
building element
integral component of the technical building systems or of the fabric of a building

ISO 52000-1:2017(E)
3.1.5
building fabric
all physical elements of a building, excluding technical building systems
EXAMPLE Roofs, walls, floors, doors, gates and internal partitions.
Note 1 to entry: It includes elements both inside and outside of the thermal envelope, including the thermal
envelope itself.
Note 2 to entry: The fabric determines the thermal transmission, the thermal envelope airtightness and (nearly
all of) the thermal mass of the building (apart from the thermal mass of furniture and technical building
systems). The fabric also makes the building wind and water tight. The building fabric is sometimes described as
the building as such, i.e., the building without any technical building system.
3.1.6
building portfolio
set of buildings and common technical building systems whose energy performance is determined
taking into account their mutual interactions
Note 1 to entry: An example of common technical systems is an energy generation system (PV panels, wind
turbine, cogeneration unit, boiler, etc.) serving the building portfolio.
