CEN/TC 371 - Project Committee - Energy Performance of Building project group
CEN/TC 371 ‘Energy performance of buildings’ is concerned with standardization related to the energy performance of buildings (EPB). The TC ensures the development, alignment and maintenance of a coherent set of standards for the determination of the EPB. It does so by (I) developing standards at overarching EPB level and by (II) coordinating the activities of related and specialized TCs that are responsible for the development of EPB standards within their scope, thereby ensuring harmonisation. CEN/TC 371 produced and maintains documents providing guidance and requirements to be met by EPB standards. 1. Developing standards at overarching EPB level The scope of EPB consists of the interrelated energy effects of indoor environmental quality, outdoor climate, thermal properties, heating and cooling systems, domestic hot water, ventilation, lighting, (de)humidification, building automation and control, energy sources and connected energy grid, and related environmental and economic impacts, and not of these topics themselves. CEN/TC 371 focusses on systems’ standards limited to buildings and the direct environment of the building if it effects the energy performance of that building. Product standards and non-EPB parameters are not part of its scope. 2. Coordinating the activities of related and specialized TCs The following specialised TCs are responsible for the development of the specialized standards that together, using a holistic or systematic approach, make up the set of EPB standards. These TCs have the responsibility for subjects on technical issues that belong exclusively to them even if it is an EPB standard. Requirements for indoor environmental quality (IEQ) parameters are fully within the responsibility of the related and specialized CEN/TCs and are not within the scope of this committee. CEN/TC 371 and the TC’s listed below shall refer to each other’s documents to prevent overlap: - CEN/TC 089 ‘Thermal performance of buildings and building com

General Information
ISO 52000-1:2017 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, n...view more

ISO/TR 52000-2:2017 refers to the overarching EPB-standard, ISO 52000‑1[1].
It contains information to support the correct understanding, use and national implementation of ISO 52000‑1. This includes:
- explanation on the procedures and background information and justification of the choices that have been made;
- reporting on validation of calculation procedures given in the standard;
- explanation for the user and for national standards writers involved with implementation of the set of EP...view more

This Technical Specification provides guidance in the form of detailed technical rules based on the basic principles, both for the overarching standard and for each standard within the set of EPB-standards.
These detailed technical rules give practical rules on the following subjects for EPB-standards:
- the standardisation process, including collaborations and consultations;
- the application range of the standards;
- common general organisation of each standard and the national implementat...view more

This Technical Specification describes the basic principles to be followed in the development of standards intended to support the assessment of the energy performance of buildings using a holistic approach. The main goal is to obtain a set of EPB-standards that are a systematic, clear and comprehensive package for the benefit of professionals and government entities.
This Technical Specification gives general, qualitative guidance on the required quality, accuracy, usability and consistency o...view more

This document provides a transparent framework for reporting on the choices related to the procedure to determine primary energy factors (PEFs) and CO2 emission coefficients for energy delivered to and exported from the buildings as described in EN ISO 52000-1.
This document specifies the choices to be made to calculate the PEF(s) and CO2 emission coefficients related to different energy carriers. PEFs and CO2 emission coefficients for exported energy can be different from those chosen for del...view more

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 calc...view more
