1 Scope
The set of EPB assessment standards produces a great number of overall and partial
EPB indicators as outputs, which can be used for different purposes. This document deals with the
use as requirement of partial EPB indicators related to the fabric and related to the thermal balance of the building . Thermal balance aspects concern both the heating and cooling needs and the free
floating temperatures, especially with respect to overheating or too cold indoor temperatures.
This document can support both private parties and public regulators (and all stakeholders
involved in the regulatory process) with the “post-processing” of these outputs.
This document provides standardized tables for reporting, in a structured and transparent
manner, the choices that are to be made with respect to the partial EPB requirements
covered by this document. The tables are non-restrictive, thus allowing for full regulatory
flexibility.
NOTE
Table 1 in the Introduction shows the relative position of this document within the set of
EPB standards in the context of the modular structure as set out in ISO 52000-1.
