The work concerns revision of existing standard EN ISO 13790. The scope will change. This revised international standard will provide calculation methods for assessment of the sensible and latent energy needs for space heating and cooling of a residential or a non-residential building, or a part of it, referred to as "the building". This method calculates, for a thermal zone in a building, the sensible and latent thermal energy needs based on the balance between the heat and moisture transfer by transmission and ventilation and the internal and solar heat gains. The energy needs are calculated by an hourly or monthly method. The hourly calculation method will be described in EN ISO 52017-1 (upgraded version of simple hourly method). The monthly method will be given in this standard including procedures how to derive monthly correlation coefficients from hourly calculations. The following input values and boundary conditions are obtained from other standards in the EPB series: overall routing of the energy performance calculation; occupancy patterns and conditions of use; thermal zoning of the building; environment conditions, thermal, dynamic (mass) and solar characteristics of building elements and their junctions; air infiltration and ventilation and ventilation system characteristics. Moisture absorption and desorption in building elements will not be considered. Because some of the characteristics that are input for the calculation are also dependent on the thermal balance calculation, many interactions will have to be accounted for at the level of each time step. The standard will contain simplified approaches for the energy balance in adjacent spaces that are not heated or cooled, including sunspaces

This document specifies a detailed method, based on the spectral transmission data of the materials, comprising the solar protection devices and the glazing, to determine the total solar energy transmittance and other relevant solar-optical data of the combination. If spectral data are not available the methodology can be adapted to use in-tegrated data.
The method is valid for all types of solar protection devices parallel to the glazing such as louvres, or venetian, or roller blinds. The blind may be located internally, externally, or enclosed between the panes of the glazing. Ventilation of the blind is allowed for in each of these positions in determining the solar energy absorbed by the glazing or blind components, for vertical orientation of the glazing.
The blind component materials may be transparent, translucent or opaque, combined with glazing components with known solar transmittance and reflectance and with known emissivity for thermal radiation.
The method is based on a normal incidence of radiation and does not take into account an angular dependence of transmittance or reflectance of the materials. Diffuse irradiation or radiation diffused by solar protection devices is treated as if it were direct. Louvres or venetian blinds are treated as homogenous materials by equivalent solar optical characteristics, which may depend on the angle of the incidence radiation. For situations outside the scope of this document; ISO 15099 covers a wider range of situations.
The document also gives certain normalised situations, additional assumptions and necessary boundary conditions.

This European Standard specifies a simplified method based on the thermal transmittance and total solar energy transmittance of the glazing and on the light transmittance and reflectance of the solar protection device to estimate the total solar energy transmittance of a solar protection device combined with glazing.
The method applies to all types of solar protection devices parallel to the glazing such as louvre, venetian or roller blinds. The position of the solar protection device can be interior, exterior or between single panes in a dual glazing system. It is applicable when the total solar energy transmittance of the glazing is between 0,15 and 0,85. Venetian or louvre blinds are assumed to be adjusted so that there is no direct solar penetration. It is assumed that for external solar protection devices and for integrated solar protection devices, the space between the solar protection devices and the glazing is unventilated and for internal solar protection devices this space is ventilated.
The resulting g-values of the simplified method given here are approximate and their deviation from the exact values lie within the range between +0,10 and -0,02. The results generally tend to lie on the safe side for cooling load estimations. The results are not intended to be used for calculating beneficial solar gains or thermal comfort criteria. The simplified method is based on the normal incidence of radiation and does not take into account either the angular dependence of transmittance and the reflectance or the differences of spectral distribution.
This standard can be applied when the solar transmittance and solar reflectance of the solar protection devices are within the following ranges:
0 e,B 0,5 and 0,1 e,B 0,8
For reflectance and transmittance values outside these ranges EN 13363-2 [1] applies.
An allowance can be made for this fact when applying the method. For cases not covered by the method given in this standard more exact calculations based on the optical properties (in general the spectral data) of glass and solar protection device can be carried out in accordance with EN 13363-2 [1].
No change to the scope is expected. There will be editorial revision (new structure) in the context of Mandate M/480 and maybe minor technical changes due to inconsistency to other standards under Mandate M/480

This document provides methods of calculation of heat transfer coefficients and heat flow rates for
building elements in thermal contact with the ground, including slab‐on‐ground floors, suspended
floors and basements. It applies to building elements, or parts of them, below a horizontal plane in the
bounding walls of the building situated
— at the level of the inside floor surface, for slab‐on‐ground floors, suspended floors and unheated
basements;
In some cases, external dimension systems define the boundary at the lower surface of the floor slab.
— at the level of the external ground surface, for heated basements.
This document includes calculation of the steady‐state part of the heat transfer (the annual average rate
of heat flow) and the part due to annual periodic variations in temperature (the seasonal variations of
the heat flow rate about the annual average). These seasonal variations are obtained on a monthly basis
and, except for the application to dynamic simulation programmes in Annex D, this document does not
apply to shorter periods of time.

Revision of EN ISO 12631:2012
This International Standard specifies a method for calculating the thermal transmittance of curtain walls consisting of glazed and/or opaque panels fitted in, or connected to, frames.
The calculation includes:
- different types of glazing, e.g. glass or plastic; single or multiple glazing; with or without low emissivity coating; with cavities filled with air or other gases;
- frames (of any material) with or without thermal breaks;
- different types of opaque panels clad with metal, glass, ceramics or any other material.
Thermal bridge effects at the rebate or connection between the glazed area, the frame area and the panel area are included in the calculation.
The calculation does not include:
- effects of solar radiation;
- heat transfer caused by air leakage;
- calculation of condensation;
- effect of shutters;
- additional heat transfer at the corners and edges of the curtain walling;
- connections to the main building structure nor through fixing lugs;
- curtain wall systems with integrated heating.
No change to the scope is expected. There will editorial revision (new structure) in the context of Mandate M/480

This document provides the method of calculation of the thermal resistance and thermal transmittance
of building components and building elements, excluding doors, windows and other glazed units,
curtain walling, components which involve heat transfer to the ground, and components through which
air is designed to permeate.
The calculation method is based on the appropriate design thermal conductivities or design thermal
resistances of the materials and products for the application concerned.
The method applies to components and elements consisting of thermally homogeneous layers (which
can include air layers).
This document also provides an approximate method that can be used for elements containing
inhomogeneous layers, including the effect of metal fasteners, by means of a correction term given in
Annex F. Other cases where insulation is bridged by metal are outside the scope of this document.

This International Standard sets out ways of expressing the overall energy performance of a building. This includes an overall numerical energy performance indicator and classes against benchmarks. It also includes ways of expressing energy performance requirements. Furthermore, methods for energy performance certification of buildings are included.
This standard provides different (alternative) options, including both absolute indicators, such as energy performance per unit of floor area, and relative indicators, such as energy performance compared to the energy performance of a reference building (notional building approach). The rationale for each option, examples and all informative procedures will be provided in the accompanying technical report (EN ISO/TR 52003-2). This International Standard does not include numerical indicators at system or component level (these will be covered by EN ISO 52017-1 (building fabric and building elements) and similar standards on technical building systems.
Voting in paralell with ISO, with ISO lead under Vienna Agreement.

This document refers to ISO 52018-1.
ISO 52018-1 gives a succinct enumeration of possible requirements related to thermal energy balance
features and to fabric features. It also provides tables for regulators to report their choices in a uniform
manner. This document provides many background considerations that can help both private actors
and public authorities, and all stakeholders involved, to take informed decisions.

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.

This document specifies a method and provides conventions for the calculation of the steady‐state
transmission and ventilation heat transfer coefficients of whole buildings and parts of buildings. It is
applicable both to heat loss (internal temperature higher than external temperature) and to heat gain
(internal temperature lower than external temperature). For the purpose of this document, the heated
or cooled space is assumed to be at uniform temperature.
Annex C provides a steady‐state method to calculate the temperature in unconditioned spaces adjacent
to conditioned spaces.
