Introduction
There is a strong need to improve the environment to make the evaluation of energy performance of
buildings more reliable and practical, so that energy efficiency of buildings is improved by referring to
the evaluation results. To realize such environment, one important standard on how to prescribe the
ways of using buildings has been missed, even though many assumptions on the building usage have
appeared in standards relevant to the energy calculation.
This document prescribes the indispensable information on the formats to express the usage of
building, zone and space in energy calculation for non‐residential buildings.

Energy performance of buildings — Schedule and condition of
building, zone and space usage for energy calculation —
Part 1:
Non-residential buildings
1 Scope
This document specifies the formats to present schedule and condition of building, zone and space
usage, which is to be referred to as input data of energy calculations for non‐residential buildings.
The schedule and condition include schedules of occupancy, operation of technical building systems,
ventilation rate, hot water usage and internal heat gains due to occupancy, lighting and equipment.
This document also gives categories of building, zone and space according to differentiating schedule
and condition.
Depending on necessary minuteness of the energy calculation, different levels of schedule and condition
from the view point of time and space averaging are specified.
The values and categories for the schedule and condition are given in annexes for more information for
the application when the users of this document do not have detailed information on the values and
categories for the schedule and condition.
The schedule and condition in this document is basically different from assumptions in order to
determine the size of technical building systems in the process of design, where possible largest values
are to be assumed. Instead, most usual and average values, which are assumed for the building energy
calculation, are dealt with in this document.

4 Framework of the schedule and condition for building energy calculation
4.1 Indispensable schedules
The building energy calculations are characterized by the division number of the year, the calculation
period or the calculation interval. Each calculation method has its appropriate calculation interval
according to characteristics of the target physical phenomenon (for example, unsteadiness) and
minuteness of the calculation responding to changes of climatic condition, occupants’ behaviour,
behaviour of service systems and so on.
Due to the variety of calculation method, there is a variety of form of the schedule and condition of
building, zone and space usage. Nevertheless, there is a fundamental unit of form, daily schedule, which
shall be included in forms for the schedule and condition. The daily schedule corresponds to the
minimum cycle of building, zone and space usage, and also of climatic and solar condition.
Some nations adopt so called “monthly calculation” for space heating and cooling energy needs and
uses, taking monthly variation of outdoor temperature and solar irradiance into consideration. One
daily schedule for business day and the number of the business days is given to each month for each
type of building, zone and space. Monthly means of outdoor air condition (for example, temperature)
© ISO 2016 – All rights reserved 7
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
ISO 18523-1:2016(E)
and solar irradiance for different orientations and inclinations are given for the calculation. The
expression of the daily schedule varies from detailed expression with hourly values to simplified
expression such as daily mean values and the like. Additional schedule for closing day can be given in a
simplified way such as only with daily mean values.
Similarly, in so called “seasonal calculation”, one daily schedule for business day and the number of the
business days for each season are given to each season for each type of building, zone and space, and
the calculation is done with seasonal mean values for climatic condition.
For the calculation of more steady phenomena, so called “annual calculation” can work if seasonal
change of solar condition is integrated throughout the year and condensed in specific coefficients.
Nevertheless, one daily schedule for business day and the number of annual business days are
necessary. Additional daily schedule for closing day can be given.
For the calculation of lighting, monthly or yearly calculation is mainly used, but unsteady aspects of
lighting still can be dealt with. In the calculation for lighting, when input parameters such as operating
hours with and without daylight are prescribed, daily schedule as described in the column (2) of Table 1
and annual schedule by monthly allocation of daily schedules (Table 5) or annual schedule without
division of the year (Table 7) should be explicitly given, so that the operating hours for light is well
harmonized with those for other technical systems.
Therefore, for each category of building, zone and space, necessary number of daily schedules (e.g. two
daily schedules for business day and closing day), and one of annual, seasonal, monthly and weekly
schedules shall be given in order that the daily schedules are allocated for the year.
4.2 Daily schedule
The daily schedule shall contain hourly values of condition for one day or shall contain condensed or
simplified information on conditions for the day. With some assumptions, the hourly detailed values can
be generated from condensed or simplified information and used even for detailed calculation. If
necessary, multiple daily schedules representing different daily patterns of usage should be given such
as for weekdays, weekends and holidays. The number of daily schedules depends on minuteness of the
schedule and condition, as well as on the category of building, zone and space under consideration.
The conditions described in the daily schedule are grouped into the following three categories:
a) general information on occupancy and usage of building, zone and space;
b) operation of technical building systems and requirement for their services;
c) internal heat gains.
The basic structure of daily schedule is shown in Table 1.

Introduction
There is a strong need to improve the environment to make the evaluation of energy performance of
buildings more reliable and practical, so that energy efficiency of buildings is improved by referring to
the evaluation results. To realize such environment, one important standard on how to prescribe the
ways of using buildings has been missed, even though many assumptions on the building usage have
appeared in standards relevant to the energy calculation.
This document prescribes the indispensable information on the formats to express the usage of
building, zone and space in energy calculation for non‐residential buildings.

Energy performance of buildings — Schedule and condition of
building, zone and space usage for energy calculation —
Part 1:
Non-residential buildings
1 Scope
This document specifies the formats to present schedule and condition of building, zone and space
usage, which is to be referred to as input data of energy calculations for non‐residential buildings.
The schedule and condition include schedules of occupancy, operation of technical building systems,
ventilation rate, hot water usage and internal heat gains due to occupancy, lighting and equipment.
This document also gives categories of building, zone and space according to differentiating schedule
and condition.
Depending on necessary minuteness of the energy calculation, different levels of schedule and condition
from the view point of time and space averaging are specified.
The values and categories for the schedule and condition are given in annexes for more information for
the application when the users of this document do not have detailed information on the values and
categories for the schedule and condition.
The schedule and condition in this document is basically different from assumptions in order to
determine the size of technical building systems in the process of design, where possible largest values
are to be assumed. Instead, most usual and average values, which are assumed for the building energy
calculation, are dealt with in this document.

4 Framework of the schedule and condition for building energy calculation
4.1 Indispensable schedules
The building energy calculations are characterized by the division number of the year, the calculation
period or the calculation interval. Each calculation method has its appropriate calculation interval
according to characteristics of the target physical phenomenon (for example, unsteadiness) and
minuteness of the calculation responding to changes of climatic condition, occupants’ behaviour,
behaviour of service systems and so on.
Due to the variety of calculation method, there is a variety of form of the schedule and condition of
building, zone and space usage. Nevertheless, there is a fundamental unit of form, daily schedule, which
shall be included in forms for the schedule and condition. The daily schedule corresponds to the
minimum cycle of building, zone and space usage, and also of climatic and solar condition.
Some nations adopt so called “monthly calculation” for space heating and cooling energy needs and
uses, taking monthly variation of outdoor temperature and solar irradiance into consideration. One
daily schedule for business day and the number of the business days is given to each month for each
type of building, zone and space. Monthly means of outdoor air condition (for example, temperature)
© ISO 2016 – All rights reserved 7
---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
SIST ISO 18523-1:2020
ISO 18523-1:2016(E)
and solar irradiance for different orientations and inclinations are given for the calculation. The
expression of the daily schedule varies from detailed expression with hourly values to simplified
expression such as daily mean values and the like. Additional schedule for closing day can be given in a
simplified way such as only with daily mean values.
Similarly, in so called “seasonal calculation”, one daily schedule for business day and the number of the
business days for each season are given to each season for each type of building, zone and space, and
the calculation is done with seasonal mean values for climatic condition.
For the calculation of more steady phenomena, so called “annual calculation” can work if seasonal
change of solar condition is integrated throughout the year and condensed in specific coefficients.
Nevertheless, one daily schedule for business day and the number of annual business days are
necessary. Additional daily schedule for closing day can be given.
For the calculation of lighting, monthly or yearly calculation is mainly used, but unsteady aspects of
lighting still can be dealt with. In the calculation for lighting, when input parameters such as operating
hours with and without daylight are prescribed, daily schedule as described in the column (2) of Table 1
and annual schedule by monthly allocation of daily schedules (Table 5) or annual schedule without
division of the year (Table 7) should be explicitly given, so that the operating hours for light is well
harmonized with those for other technical systems.
Therefore, for each category of building, zone and space, necessary number of daily schedules (e.g. two
daily schedules for business day and closing day), and one of annual, seasonal, monthly and weekly
schedules shall be given in order that the daily schedules are allocated for the year.
4.2 Daily schedule
The daily schedule shall contain hourly values of condition for one day or shall contain condensed or
simplified information on conditions for the day. With some assumptions, the hourly detailed values can
be generated from condensed or simplified information and used even for detailed calculation. If
necessary, multiple daily schedules representing different daily patterns of usage should be given such
as for weekdays, weekends and holidays. The number of daily schedules depends on minuteness of the
schedule and condition, as well as on the category of building, zone and space under consideration.
The conditions described in the daily schedule are grouped into the following three categories:
a) general information on occupancy and usage of building, zone and space;
b) operation of technical building systems and requirement for their services;
c) internal heat gains.
The basic structure of daily schedule is shown in Table 1.

Introduction
There is a strong need to improve the environment to make the evaluation of energy performance of
buildings more reliable and practical, so that energy efficiency of buildings is improved by referring to
the evaluation results. To realize such environment, one important standard on how to prescribe the
ways of using buildings has been missed, even though many assumptions on the building usage have
appeared in standards relevant to the energy calculation.
This document prescribes the indispensable information on the formats to express the usage of
building, zone and space in energy calculation for non‐residential buildings.

Energy performance of buildings — Schedule and condition of
building, zone and space usage for energy calculation —
Part 1:
Non-residential buildings
1 Scope
This document specifies the formats to present schedule and condition of building, zone and space
usage, which is to be referred to as input data of energy calculations for non‐residential buildings.
The schedule and condition include schedules of occupancy, operation of technical building systems,
ventilation rate, hot water usage and internal heat gains due to occupancy, lighting and equipment.
This document also gives categories of building, zone and space according to differentiating schedule
and condition.
Depending on necessary minuteness of the energy calculation, different levels of schedule and condition
from the view point of time and space averaging are specified.
The values and categories for the schedule and condition are given in annexes for more information for
the application when the users of this document do not have detailed information on the values and
categories for the schedule and condition.
The schedule and condition in this document is basically different from assumptions in order to
determine the size of technical building systems in the process of design, where possible largest values
are to be assumed. Instead, most usual and average values, which are assumed for the building energy
calculation, are dealt with in this document.

4 Framework of the schedule and condition for building energy calculation
4.1 Indispensable schedules
The building energy calculations are characterized by the division number of the year, the calculation
period or the calculation interval. Each calculation method has its appropriate calculation interval
according to characteristics of the target physical phenomenon (for example, unsteadiness) and
minuteness of the calculation responding to changes of climatic condition, occupants’ behaviour,
behaviour of service systems and so on.
Due to the variety of calculation method, there is a variety of form of the schedule and condition of
building, zone and space usage. Nevertheless, there is a fundamental unit of form, daily schedule, which
shall be included in forms for the schedule and condition. The daily schedule corresponds to the
minimum cycle of building, zone and space usage, and also of climatic and solar condition.
Some nations adopt so called “monthly calculation” for space heating and cooling energy needs and
uses, taking monthly variation of outdoor temperature and solar irradiance into consideration. One
daily schedule for business day and the number of the business days is given to each month for each
type of building, zone and space. Monthly means of outdoor air condition (for example, temperature)

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
oSIST ISO 18523-1:2020
ISO 18523-1:2016(E)
and solar irradiance for different orientations and inclinations are given for the calculation. The
expression of the daily schedule varies from detailed expression with hourly values to simplified
expression such as daily mean values and the like. Additional schedule for closing day can be given in a
simplified way such as only with daily mean values.
Similarly, in so called “seasonal calculation”, one daily schedule for business day and the number of the
business days for each season are given to each season for each type of building, zone and space, and
the calculation is done with seasonal mean values for climatic condition.
For the calculation of more steady phenomena, so called “annual calculation” can work if seasonal
change of solar condition is integrated throughout the year and condensed in specific coefficients.
Nevertheless, one daily schedule for business day and the number of annual business days are
necessary. Additional daily schedule for closing day can be given.
For the calculation of lighting, monthly or yearly calculation is mainly used, but unsteady aspects of
lighting still can be dealt with. In the calculation for lighting, when input parameters such as operating
hours with and without daylight are prescribed, daily schedule as described in the column (2) of Table 1
and annual schedule by monthly allocation of daily schedules (Table 5) or annual schedule without
division of the year (Table 7) should be explicitly given, so that the operating hours for light is well
harmonized with those for other technical systems.
Therefore, for each category of building, zone and space, necessary number of daily schedules (e.g. two
daily schedules for business day and closing day), and one of annual, seasonal, monthly and weekly
schedules shall be given in order that the daily schedules are allocated for the year.
4.2 Daily schedule
The daily schedule shall contain hourly values of condition for one day or shall contain condensed or
simplified information on conditions for the day. With some assumptions, the hourly detailed values can
be generated from condensed or simplified information and used even for detailed calculation. If
necessary, multiple daily schedules representing different daily patterns of usage should be given such
as for weekdays, weekends and holidays. The number of daily schedules depends on minuteness of the
schedule and condition, as well as on the category of building, zone and space under consideration.
The conditions described in the daily schedule are grouped into the following three categories:
a) general information on occupancy and usage of building, zone and space;
b) operation of technical building systems and requirement for their services;
c) internal heat gains.
The basic structure of daily schedule is shown in Table 1.
