This document provides a general framework for improving the quality and comparability of methods for assessing the environmental, social and economic performance of construction works, and their combination as a basis for the sustainability assessment of buildings.

It identifies and describes issues to be taken into account in the development and use of methods of assessment of the environmental, social and economic characteristics, aspects and impacts of new or existing buildings. These relate to the building’s design, production of construction products, materials and components, construction, operation, maintenance and refurbishment and end-of-life processes.

This document is applicable to the assessment of the building (or part thereof) and the external works within its site (curtilage).

NOTE     The assessment of environmental, social and economic aspects related to the location of the building, such as those resulting from transportation of the users, can extend beyond the area of the building site.

This document does not set benchmarks or levels of performance relative to environmental, social and economic impacts and aspects.

This document specifies requirements for indoor environmental parameters for thermal environment, indoor air quality, lighting and acoustics and specifies how to establish these parameters for building system design and energy performance calculations. It includes design criteria for the local thermal discomfort factors, draught, radiant temperature asymmetry, vertical air temperature differences and floor surface temperature. This document is applicable where the criteria for indoor environment are set by human occupancy and where the production or process does not have a major impact on indoor environment. It also specifies occupancy schedules to be used in standard energy calculations and how different categories of criteria for the indoor environment can be used. The criteria in this document can also be used in national calculation methods. This document sets criteria for the indoor environment based on existing standards and reports (listed in Clause 2 and the Bibliography). The document does not specify design methods, but gives input parameters to the design of building envelope, heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting.

This document deals with the indoor environmental parameters for thermal environment, indoor air quality, lighting and acoustic. It explains how to use ISO 17772-1 for specifying indoor environmental input parameters for building system design and energy performance calculations. This document: — specifies methods for long-term evaluation of the indoor environment obtained as a result of calculations or measurements; — specifies criteria for measurements which can be used if required to measure compliance by inspection; — identifies parameters to be used by monitoring and displaying the indoor environment in existing buildings. This document is applicable where the criteria for indoor environment are set by human occupancy and where the production or process does not have a major impact on indoor environment. It explains how different categories of criteria for the indoor environment can be used.

This document provides specifications for the production of unreinforced, reinforced and prestressed precast concrete products protected from adverse weather conditions during production, and made of compact light-, normal- and heavyweight concrete according to EN 206 with no appreciable amount of entrapped air other than entrained air. Concrete containing fibres for other than mechanical properties (steel, polymer or other fibres) is also covered. This document also covers clay, EPS, and lightweight formwork blocks for beam-and-blocks floor systems. It does not cover precast reinforced components of lightweight aggregate concrete with open structure nor glassfibre reinforced concrete. It can also be used to specify products for which there is no standard.

This calculation module applies to instantaneous domestic hot water heat recovery using a counter-flow heat exchanger between the drain water and the incoming domestic cold water. This module calculates the recovered heat, to be taken into account in the overall calculation procedure of the energy performance of the building. The scope of this document is to standardize the: - required inputs; - calculation methods; - required outputs; of the instantaneous heat recovery from domestic hot water drains. This document provides a calculation method for one calculation interval. This calculation is intended to be connected to the whole building calculation model and takes into account the external conditions and system controls that may influence the instantaneous heat recovery from domestic hot water drains. This document does not apply to storage heat recovery or the use of drain water as a source for heat pumps. This document does not apply to sizing or inspection of domestic hot water heat recovery devices. Table 1 shows the relative position of this document within the set of EPB standards in the context of the modular structure as set out in EN ISO 52000-1. NOTE 1 The same Table is found in CEN ISO/TR 52000-2, with, for each module, the numbers of the relevant EPB standards and accompanying technical reports that are published or in preparation. NOTE 2 The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard might cover more than one module and one module might be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance a simplified and a detailed method respectively. See also Clause 2 and Table A.1 and Table B.1.

This document specifies the test method of moisture-adsorption/desorption efficiency (or capacity) of building materials, when there are changes in temperature in sealed boxes containing building materials.

This document describes methods for diagnosing and assessing conditions that can result in moisture damage impacting the building’s energy and durability performance. For the purpose of classifying moisture damage, methods in this document range from basic observation techniques to more complex methods using equipment to more accurately or precisely render a condition assessment and provide data. This document does not ensure that the methods identified will result in the full disclosure of all moisture damage conditions.

This document defines moisture damage and it specifies the moisture sources and the moisture transport mechanisms in buildings.

It includes a method for classification of moisture damage based on the relation of:

— materials and constituent materials,

— phenomena, and

— functionalities that can be affected.

This document deals with:

1) building damage that is induced by (gaseous/liquid/solid) water, and

2) damage to building components, human health, and property contained in the enclosure. This document makes no mention of warranties for building damage.

This document specifies test methods for the determination of the technical characteristics of underlays under laminate floor coverings. It includes minimum performance requirements for the underlay-flooring system to give satisfactory service and to encourage the consumer to make an informed choice. It also specifies requirements for marking and packaging. Underlays pre-attached to the laminate flooring coverings are not covered by this document. Underlays for laminate floor coverings intended for use in electrostatically sensitive areas such as computer rooms, etc., are not covered by this document.

This document specifies the logistical and technical equipment requirements for the working environments of conference signed language interpreters. This document builds upon the existing standards on interpreters’ working environment, interpreting equipment, simultaneous interpreting delivery platforms and conference equipment ISO 17651-1, ISO 17651-2, ISO 17651-3, ISO 20109, ISO 24019 and ISO 22259.
