    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies the European standards (ENs) that are intended to support the EPBD by providing the calculation methods and associated material to obtain the overall energy performance of a building.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This document provides an outline of the calculation procedure for assessing the energy performance of buildings. It includes a list of the European standards, both existing and those that are being written, which together form the calculation methodology.
