<p>ISO 16346:2013 defines the general procedures to assess the energy performance of buildings, including technical building systems, and defines the different types of ratings, and the building boundaries.</p>
<p>The purpose of ISO 16346:2013 is to</p>
<p>a) collate results from other International Standards that calculate energy use for specific services within a building,</p>
<p>b) account for energy generated in the building, some of which may be exported for use elsewhere,</p>
<p>c) present a summary of the overall energy use of the building in tabular form,</p>
<p>d) provide energy ratings based on primary energy, carbon dioxide emission, or other parameters defined by a national energy policy, and</p>
<p>e) establish general principles for the calculation of primary energy factors and carbon dioxide emission coefficients.</p>
<p>ISO 16346:2013 defines the energy services to be taken into account for setting energy performance ratings for planned and existing buildings and provides for</p>
<p>1) a method to compute the standard calculated energy rating, a standard energy use that does not depend on occupant behaviour, actual weather, and other actual (environment or indoor) conditions,</p>
<p>2) a method to assess the measured energy rating, based on the delivered and exported energy,</p>
<p>3) a method to improve confidence in the building calculation model by comparison with actual energy use, and</p>
<p>4) a method to assess the energy effectiveness of possible improvements.</p>
<p>ISO 16346:2013 is applicable to a part of a building (e.g. flat), a whole building, or several buildings.</p>
