Energy performance of buildings. Energy needs for heating and cooling, internal temperatures and sensible and latent heat loads. Explanation and justification of ISO 52016-1 and ISO 52017-1 | Status: Current

1 Scope This document contains information to support the correct understanding and use of ISO 52016-1 and ISO 52017-1. These documents give calculation methods for the assessment of:

• — the (sensible and latent) energy load and need for heating and cooling, based on hourly calculations;
• — the (sensible and latent) energy need for heating and cooling, based on monthly calculations (ISO 52016-1);
• — the internal temperature, based on hourly calculations; and
• — the design (sensible and latent) heating and cooling load, based on hourly calculations.

This document does not contain any normative provisions.

NOTE A description of the rationale behind the reorganization of the cluster of strongly related and partly overlapping ISO and CEN standards is given in Annex H.
