This document provides a transparent framework for reporting on the choices related to the procedure to determine primary energy factors (PEFs) and CO2 emission coefficients for energy delivered to and exported from the buildings as described in EN ISO 52000-1. It does not include considerations on other problems like nuclear waste, atmospheric particulate matter, deforestation, food and bioenergy competition, depletion of raw material resources, depletion of the soil, etc. This document specifies the choices to be made to calculate the PEF(s) and CO2 emission coefficients related to different energy carriers. PEFs and CO2 emission coefficients for exported energy can be different from those chosen for delivered energy. This document is primarily intended for supporting and complementing EN ISO 52000-1 as the latter requires values for the PEFs and CO2 emission coefficients to complete the EPB calculation. But it can also be used for other applications.

This standard specifies the test method to evaluate the inter-storey displacement resistance of curtain walling to three-directional seismic or wind actions when curtain walling is subjected to repeated movement. The test method can be used to evaluate the inter-storey displacement either when it is a design requirement or to assess the relative displacement accommodated by the curtain walling assembly. This test can be addressed manually or automatically depending on the size and/or the shape of the specimen.

This test method specifies methods for determining the fire resistance of cavity barriers and is to be used in conjunction with EN 1363-1.This document is applicable to non-loadbearing vertically or horizontally oriented closed and open cavity barriers, which are used to provide fire separation to uncompartmented or ventilated spaces. Cavity barriers are designed to provide fire separating performance and the test method is therefore based on the standard room fire exposure in EN 1363-1. Open cavity barrier specimens are installed for test in one of two ways to simulate either normal or sudden exposure to fire in use.Ventilating cavity barriers in facades, where the fire exposure comes as a result of a breaking window and allowing a developed fire to come into contact with the façade, shall be tested as prescribed in Annex D.This document is not applicable to cavity barriers containing penetration seals, which shall be tested to EN 1366-3.

Procedures enabling to take into account the effect of adaptive building envelope elements in the calculation of the energy needs for heating, cooling, internal temperatures and sensible and latent heat loads for buildings.ISO 52016-1:2017 contains a normative Annex G that provides already a framework for such calculation procedures. The aim of this new proposed standard is to work out calculation procedures instead of only a framework for the calculation.Adaptive building envelope elements are (usually: transparent) elements in the building envelope with thermal and/or solar and/or visual properties that vary in time, either passively or due to an active control.The aim of adaptive building envelope elements is to improve the energy performance and/or comfort in the building under varying outdoor conditions (weather, season), indoor conditions (e.g. internal heat gains) and user needs.Examples of adaptive building envelopes are products or assemblies with one or more of the following features:• movable blinds,• controllable vents,• switchable glazing,• movable thermally insulating shutters,• PV integrated glazing (leading to variable total (thermal) solar energy transmittance),• double skin facades.The input data for the calculation are the thermal, solar and visual properties of the building element for the different states (e.g. from open to closed, from dark to light and combinations of these); and in case of gradually varying properties: for a number of representative discrete states.In order to be able to use these properties for energy and internal temperature calculations, the details of the (passive or active) control protocol are needed as input as well.The thermal, solar and visual properties of the building element are the thermal transmittance (Uvalue), air permeability (L-value) and solar transmittance (g-value). Or, where needed, the properties per component: e.g. thermal resistances and air permeability per component, solar absorptance and solar and visual transmittance per component. It is assumed that the existing standards on glazing(ISO/TC 160/SC 2, CEN/TC 129) and on building elements (especially the EPB standards recently revised under ISO/TC 163/SC 2 and CEN/TC 89) enable to obtain these input data in most cases.No ready-to-use international standards exist for the assumptions on the control protocol. EN 15232-1 (and ISO 52120-1 in preparation) provides some guidance.The output of this standard should also be usable to compare products and assemblies. Due to the interactive nature of adaptive building envelope elements, this may require the use of specific reference buildings and occupant patterns (similar as for current international standards on energy performance rating of glazings and windows).
