1 Scope
This document 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, new buildings 'as built', and existing buildings in the use phase as well as renovation.
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 this document.
