Thermal bridges in building construction - Heat flows and surface temperatures - Detailed calculations (ISO 10211:2017)

This document sets out the specifications for a three-dimensional and a two-dimensional geometrical
model of a thermal bridge for the numerical calculation of
— heat flows, in order to assess the overall heat loss from a building or part of it, and
— minimum surface temperatures, in order to assess the risk of surface condensation.
These specifications include the geometrical boundaries and subdivisions of the model, the thermal
boundary conditions, and the thermal values and relationships to be used.
This document is based upon the following assumptions:
— all physical properties are independent of temperature;
— there are no heat sources within the building element.
This document can also be used for the derivation of linear and point thermal transmittances and of
surface temperature factors.
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 ISO 52000-1.

Wärmebrücken im Hochbau - Wärmeströme und Oberflächentemperaturen - Detaillierte Berechnungen (ISO 10211:2017)

Dieses Dokument legt die Spezifikationen für geometrische dreidimensionale und zweidimensionale Modelle von Wärmebrücken zur numerischen Berechnung
- von Wärmeströmen zur Abschätzung der Gesamtwärmeverluste eines Gebäudes oder Gebäudeteils und
- der niedrigsten Oberflächentemperaturen zur Abschätzung des Risikos einer Tauwasserbildung fest. Diese Spezifikationen enthalten die geometrischen Grenzen, die Unterteilungen des Modells, die wärmetechnischen Randbedingungen und die zu verwendenden wärmetechnischen Kennwerte und Beziehungen.
Dieses Dokument beruht auf folgenden Annahmen:
- alle physikalischen Eigenschaften sind temperaturunabhängig;
- es gibt keine Wärmequellen im Bauteil.
Dieses Dokument kann auch für die Herleitung von längenbezogenen und punktbezogenen Wärme-durchgangskoeffizienten und von Temperaturfaktoren der Oberflächen angewendet werden.
ANMERKUNG Tabelle 1 in der Einleitung zeigt die relative Einordnung dieses Dokuments innerhalb des EPB-Normenpakets im Kontext der in ISO 52000-1 dargelegten modularen Struktur.

Ponts thermiques dans les bâtiments - Flux thermiques et températures superficielles - Calculs détaillés (ISO 10211:2017)

L'ISO 10211:2017 établit les spécifications sur les modèles géométriques tridimensionnels et bidimensionnels d'un pont thermique, pour le calcul numérique:
-      des flux thermiques, afin d'évaluer la déperdition thermique globale d'un bâtiment ou d'une partie de bâtiment; et
-      des températures superficielles minimales, afin d'évaluer le risque de condensation superficielle.
Ces spécifications incluent les limites du modèle géométrique et ses subdivisions, les conditions aux limites et les valeurs thermiques qui lui sont liées à utiliser.
L'ISO 10211:2017 est basé sur les suppositions suivantes:
-      toutes les propriétés physiques sont indépendantes de la température;
-      absence de source de chaleur à l'intérieur de l'élément de construction.
L'ISO 10211:2017 peut aussi être utilisé pour la détermination des coefficients linéiques ou ponctuels de transmission thermique, ainsi que pour les facteurs de température superficielle.

European foreword
This document (EN ISO 10211:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 163 "Thermal
performance and energy use in the built environment" in collaboration with Technical Committee
CEN/TC 89 “Thermal performance of buildings and building components” the secretariat of which is
held by SIS.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2018 and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by January 2018.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
This document is part of the set of standards and accompanying technical reports on the energy
performance of buildings and has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association (Mandate M/480, see reference [EF3] below).
Directive 2010/31/EU recasting the Directive 2002/91/EC on energy performance of buildings (EPBD,
[EF4]) promotes the improvement of the energy performance of buildings within the European Union,
taking into account all types of energy uses (heating, lighting, cooling, air conditioning, ventilation) and
outdoor climatic and local conditions, as well as indoor climate requirements and cost effectiveness
(Article 1).
The directive requires Member States to adopt measures and tools to achieve the prudent and rational
use of energy resources. In order to achieve those goals, the EPBD requires increasing energy efficiency
and the enhanced use of renewable energies in both new and existing buildings. One tool for this is the
application by Member States of minimum requirements on the energy performance of new buildings
and for existing buildings that are subject to major renovation, as well as for minimum performance
requirements for the building envelope if energy-relevant parts are replaced or retrofitted. Other tools
are energy certification of buildings, inspection of boilers and air-conditioning systems.
The use of European standards increases the accessibility, transparency and objectivity of the energy
performance assessment in the Member States facilitating the comparison of best practices and
supporting the internal market for construction products. The use of EPB standards for calculating
energy performance, as well as for energy performance certification and the inspection of heating
systems and boilers, ventilation and air-conditioning systems will reduce costs compared to developing
different standards at national level.
The first mandate to CEN to develop a set of CEN EPBD standards (M/343, [EF1]), to support the first
edition of the EPBD ([EF2]) resulted in the successful publication of all EPBD related CEN standards in
2007-2008.
Mandate M/480 was issued to review the mandate M/343 as the recast of the EPBD raised the need to
revisit the standards and reformulate and add standards so that they become on the one hand
unambiguous and compatible, and on the other hand a clear and explicit overview of the choices,
3

SIST EN ISO 10211:2017
EN ISO 10211:2017 (E)
boundary conditions and input data that need to be defined at national or regional level. Such national
or regional choices remain necessary, due to differences in climate, culture and building tradition,
policy and legal frameworks. Consequently, the set of CEN EPBD standards published in 2007-2008 had
to be improved and expanded on the basis of the recast of the EPBD.
The EPB standards are flexible enough to allow for necessary national and regional differentiation and
facilitate Member States implementation and the setting of requirements by the Member States.
Further target groups are users of the voluntary common European Union certification scheme for the
energy performance of non-residential buildings (EPBD article 11.9) and any other regional (e.g. pan
European) parties wanting to motivate their assumptions by classifying the building energy
performance for a dedicated building stock.
This document supersedes EN ISO 10211:2007.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands,
Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and
the United Kingdom.

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 doc
