European foreword
This document (CEN ISO/TR 52019-2:2017) 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.
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,
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.

Introduction
The set of EPB standards, technical reports and supporting tools
In order to facilitate the necessary overall consistency and coherence, in terminology, approach,
input/output relations and formats, for the whole set of EPB-standards, the following documents and
tools are available:
a) a document with basic principles to be followed in drafting EPB-standards:
[8]
CEN/TS 16628:2014, Energy Performance of Buildings - Basic Principles for the set of EPB standards ;
b) a document with detailed technical rules to be followed in drafting EPB-standards;
CEN/TS 16629:2014, Energy Performance of Buildings - Detailed Technical Rules for the set of EPB-
[9]
standards .
The detailed technical rules are the basis for the following tools:
1) a common template for each EPB-standard, including specific drafting instructions for the relevant
clauses;
2) a common template for each technical report that accompanies an EPB standard or a cluster of EPB
standards, including specific drafting instructions for the relevant clauses;
3) a common template for the spreadsheet that accompanies each EPB standard, to demonstrate the
correctness of the EPB calculation procedures.
Each EPB-standards follows the basic principles and the detailed technical rules and relates to the
[5]
overarching EPB-standard, ISO 52000-1 .
One of the main purposes of the revision of the EPB-standards is to enable that laws and regulations
directly refer to the EPB-standards and make compliance with them compulsory. This requires that
the set of EPB-standards consists of a systematic, clear, comprehensive and unambiguous set of energy
performance procedures. The number of options provided is kept as low as possible, taking into account
national and regional differences in climate, culture and building tradition, policy and legal frameworks
(subsidiarity principle). For each option, an informative default option is provided (Annex B).
Rationale behind the EPB technical reports
There is a risk that the purpose and limitations of the EPB standards will be misunderstood, unless
the background and context to their contents – and the thinking behind them – is explained in some
detail to readers of the standards. Consequently, various types of informative contents are recorded
and made available for users to properly understand, apply and nationally or regionally implement the
EPB standards.
If this explanation would have been attempted in the standards themselves, the result is likely to be
confusing and cumbersome, especially if the standards are implemented or referenced in national or
regional building codes.
Therefore each EPB standard is accompanied by an informative technical report, like this one, where
all informative content is collected, to ensure a clear separation between normative and informative
[9]
contents (see CEN/TS 16629 ):
— to avoid flooding and confusing the actual normative part with informative content,
— to reduce the page count of the actual standard, and
— to facilitate understanding of the set of EPB standards.
[5]
This was also one of the main recommendations from the European CENSE project that laid the
foundation for the preparation of the set of EPB standards.

This document
This technical report accompanies the suite of EPB standards on thermal transmission properties
of building elements. It relates to ISO 6946, ISO 10211, ISO 13370, ISO 13786, ISO 13789 and
ISO 14683, which form part of a set of standards related to the evaluation of the energy performance
of buildings (EPB).
The role and the positioning of the accompanied standards in the set of EPB standards is defined in the
introductions to ISO 6946, ISO 10211, ISO 13370, ISO 13786 and ISO 14683.
Accompanying spreadsheets
Concerning ISO 6946, ISO 10211, ISO 13370, ISO 13786 and ISO 14683, spreadsheets were produced for:
— ISO 6946;
— ISO 13370;
— ISO 13789.
These spreadsheets are available at www .epb .center.
In this document, examples of each of these calculation sheets are included in Annex M.
No accompanying calculation spreadsheets were prepared on:
— ISO 10211: this document does not provide a calculation procedure; it provides test cases and
performance criteria for calculation procedures.
— ISO 13786: this document provides complex matrix calculation procedures. Instead of a spreadsheet,
Annex I contains examples of calculation results obtained by a computer program.
— ISO 14683: this document does not provide a calculation procedure; it provides choices between
procedures provided elsewhere and default tabulated values. Instead, Annex L contains examples
of the use of default values.
The first series of standards on thermal and hygrothermal properties of building components and
elements were prepared by ISO Technical Committee TC 163 in the 1980s, as a result of growing global
concern on future fuel shortages and inadequate health and comfort levels in buildings. During the
following decades these first standards were revised and new standards were added, to cope with
new developments and additional needs. From the 1990s on, these standards were developed in close
collaboration with CEN.

5 Description of the methods
5.1 Outputs
The main outputs of ISO 6946, ISO 7345, ISO 10211, ISO 13370, ISO 13786, ISO 13789 and ISO 14683 are:
— thermal transmission properties of building elements (thermal resistance, thermal transmittance
or dynamic thermal characteristics of a wall, floor or roof);
— heat transfer coefficient for the whole building (or part of a building).
5.2 General description
Together with ISO 10456, ISO 10077-1, ISO 10077-2 and ISO 12631, these documents (ISO 6946,
ISO 7345, ISO 10211, ISO 13370, ISO 13786, ISO 13789 and ISO 14683) provide the methodology to
obtain heat transfer coefficients for a building starting from the properties of materials used for its
construction and the size and geometry of the building.
[7]
The results provide input for calculation of energy needs for heating and cooling by ISO 52016-1
when one of the simplified (monthly or hourly) calculation methods is being used in ISO 52016-1. In the
case of detailed dynamic simulations, the component (or subcomponent) properties are used directly
as inputs for the building simulation.
In applications where individual component properties are needed, these documents provide:
— in the case of minimum component requirements, the U-value or R-value of the construction;
— for multi-zone calculations with assumed thermal interaction between the zones, the thermal
transmission properties of the separating construction;
Figure 1 illustrates the linkages between these documents.

6 ISO 6946
ISO 6946 provides a calculation method that is valid for most building components (walls and roofs).
It is based on calculating the upper limit of thermal resistance of the component (which would apply if
the heat flow were unidirectional from warm side to cold side) and the lower limit (in which the plane
separating each layer is isothermal). Except for components consisting entirely of homogeneous layers
(for which the upper and lower limits are equal) the true thermal resistance of a component is between
these two limits. ISO 6946 specifies use of the arithmetic mean of the two limits provided that their
ratio does not exceed 1,5.

7 ISO 10211
ISO 10211 specifies the method for detailed calculation of thermal bridges. It can be applied to a whole
building or part of it, and also to the calculation of linear and point thermal transmittances which are
used in ISO 13789.
8 ISO 13370
8.1 General
ISO 13370 is used for calculation of heat transfer via the ground, taking account of its contribution to
the total thermal resistance in the case of U-value calculations and of its thermal inertia in the case of
time-dependent calculations.
The following sub-clauses provide information in addition to that given in ISO 13370.

Introduction
One of the main purposes of the revision of the EPB standards has been to enable that laws and
regulations directly refer to the EPB standards and make compliance with them compulsory. This
requires that the set of EPB standards consists of a systematic, clear, comprehensive and unambiguous
set of energy performance procedures. The number of options provided is kept as low as possible,
taking into account national and regional differences in climate, culture and building tradition, policy
and legal frameworks (subsidiarity principle). For each option, an informative default option is provided
(Annex B).
Rationale behind the EPB technical reports
There is a risk that the purpose and limitations of the EPB standards will be misunderstood, unless
the background and context to their contents – and the thinking behind them – is explained in some
detail to readers of the standards. Consequently, various types of informative contents are recorded
and made available for users to properly understand, apply and nationally or regionally implement the
EPB standards.
If this explanation would have been attempted in the standards themselves, the result is likely to be
confusing and cumbersome, especially if the standards are implemented or referenced in national or
regional building codes.
Therefore each EPB standard is accompanied by an informative technical report, like this one, where
all informative content is collected, to ensure a clear separation between normative and informative
[15]
contents (see CEN/TS 16629 ):
— to avoid flooding and confusing the actual normative part with informative content,
— to reduce the page count of the actual standard, and
— to facilitate understanding of the set of EPB standards.
[[16]][[17]]
This was also one of the main recommendations from the European CENSE project that laid
the foundation for the preparation of the set of EPB standards.
This technical report
This technical report accompanies the suite of EPB standards on thermal transmission properties of
1)
[1] 1)[3] 1)[8] 1)[9] 1)
building elements. It relates to ISO 6946 , ISO 10211 , ISO 13370 , ISO 13786 , ISO 13789
[10] 1)[11]
and ISO 14683 , which form part of a set of standards related to the evaluation of the energy
performance of buildings (EPB).
The role and the positioning of the accompanied standards in the set of EPB standards is defined in the
introductions to ISO 6946, ISO 10211, ISO 13370, ISO 13786 and ISO 14683.
Accompanying spreadsheet(s)
Concerning ISO 6946, ISO 10211, ISO 13370, ISO 13786 and ISO 14683, spreadsheets were produced for:
— ISO 6946;
— ISO 13370;
— ISO 13789.
In this document, examples of each of these calculation sheets are included in Annex M.

No accompanying calculation spreadsheets were prepared on:
— ISO 10211: this document does not provide a calculation procedure; it provides test cases and
performance criteria for calculation procedures.
— ISO 13786: this document provides complex matrix calculation procedures. Instead of a spreadsheet,
Annex I contains examples of calculation results obtained by a computer program.
— ISO 14683: this document does not provide a calculation procedure; it provides choices between
procedures provided elsewhere and default tabulated values. Instead, Annex L contains examples
of the use of default values.
The first series of standards on thermal and hygrothermal properties of building components and
elements were prepared by ISO Technical Committee TC 163 in the 1980s, as a result of growing global
concern on future fuel shortages and inadequate health and comfort levels in buildings. During the
following decades these first standards were revised and new standards were added, to cope with
new developments and additional needs. From the 1990s on, these standards were developed in close
collaboration with CEN.

6 ISO 6946
ISO 6946 provides a calculation method that is valid for most building components (walls and roofs).
It is based on calculating the upper limit of thermal resistance of the component (which would apply if
the heat flow were unidirectional from warm side to cold side) and the lower limit (in which the plane
separating each layer is isothermal). Except for components consisting entirely of homogeneous layers
(for which the upper and lower limits are equal) the true thermal resistance of a component is between
these two limits. ISO 6946 specifies use of the arithmetic mean of the two limits provided that their
ratio does not exceed 1,5.

7 ISO 10211
ISO 10211 specifies the method for detailed calculation of thermal bridges. It can be applied to a whole
building or part of it, and also to the calculation of linear and point thermal transmittances which are
used in ISO 13789.
8 ISO 13370
8.1 General
ISO 13370 is used for calculation of heat transfer via the ground, taking account of its contribution to
the total thermal resistance in the case of U-value calculations and of its thermal inertia in the case of
time-dependent calculations.
The following sub-clauses provide information in addition to that given in ISO 13370.

ISO 13370 specifies thermal properties for three representative types of ground. Particular values can
be provided in ISO 13370:—, Annex A.
Annex A provides background information on the properties of the ground.
8.3 The influence of flowing ground water
In most cases it is not necessary to take account of ground water since its flow rate is usually sufficiently
small that it has a negligible effect on heat transfer rates. Further information and a method of allowing
for the effect of ground water when its flow rate is known are given in Annex B.
8.4 Application to dynamic simulation programmes
ISO 13370:—, Annex F contains a procedure for the application to dynamic simulation programmes.
Annex C provides background information and validation of this procedure.
8.5 Embedded heating or cooling systems
Annex D describes a modification of the methodology in ISO 13370 for floors with an embedded heating
or cooling system.

Annex E provides a method to calculate the heat gain to a cold store from heating elements in the
ground (included to avoid frost heave).
9 ISO 13786
ISO 13786 defines a method of calculation of the dynamic thermal characteristics of a building
component. Annex G gives background to the matrix method given in ISO 13786.
Annex H provides information on computer programming for complex numbers and Annex I gives the
results of some sample calculations.

ISO 13789 defines the calculation of the transmission heat transfer coefficient of a building, using the
heat transmission properties of the building elements and thermal bridge used in its construction.
A decision is needed on the system of dimensions to be used – internal, overall internal or external.
Annex J illustrates the three systems and the effect of the systems on the linear thermal transmittance
of junctions between elements. Annex J is relevant also to ISO 10211 and ISO 14683.
For the ventilation heat transfer coefficient the air flow rate through conditioned spaces is needed.
Annex K provides a possible method, with associated data.
11 ISO 14683
ISO 14683 defines the methodology for determination of linear thermal transmittances and provides
default values for when specific information is not available. Annex L provides examples of the influence

Annex A
(informative)

ISO 13370: Thermal properties of the ground
The thermal properties of the ground depend on several factors, including density, degree of water
saturation, particle size, type of mineral constituting the particles, and whether frozen or unfrozen. As
a result, the thermal properties vary considerably from one location to another, and at different depths
at a given location, and also may vary with time due to changes in moisture content or due to freezing
and thawing.
Values of the properties of the ground used for heat transfer calculations, including measured values,
should be representative of the ground in the vicinity of the building and over the period of time to
which the calculation refers (e.g., the heating season).
Table A.1 indicates the range of thermal conductivity for various types of unfrozen ground, and shows
the representative values specified in ISO 13370.

of ground water flow. For slab-on-ground floors and basements, G multiplies the steady-state ground

ISO 13370: Application to dynamic simulation programmes
C.1 General
ISO 13370:—, Annex F provides a method of treating heat transfers via the ground in connection with
transient methods for the calculation of heat flows or temperatures in buildings, using a time step of
one hour or less.
The method involves modelling the floor construction together with the ground as a single component,
consisting of each layer in the floor construction plus 0,5 m depth of ground plus a virtual layer.
The virtual layer has a thermal resistance R and has negligible thermal capacity. R is calculated
ve ve
from Formula (C.1).

R = −−RR −R (C.1)
ve si fg
U
The boundary condition at the bottom of the virtual layer is a virtual temperature, θ , which is

where Φ is calculated at time t, using the numerical model.
t
Using this method, the virtual layer represents the ground in the numerical model, simplifying the
model by avoiding the need to include large volumes of ground. The value of R is set so as to give the
v
correct annual average heat flow and the effect of transient heat flow in the ground is accounted for by
the time-varying virtual temperature.
C.2 Validation
The method has been validated by comparing its results with those of a dynamic numerical model that
3)
included explicit modelling of the ground with dimensions as given in ISO 10211 .
C.2.1 Geometrical model and thermal transmittance
The geometric model consisted of one-quarter of a square building with the length of each side being
5 m (see Figure C.1).
3) The method was proposed and validated by Physibel, Belgium.
