This European Standard specifies performance requirements and design methods for temporary roofs and encapsulations.
It is possible to form the constructions in several ways:
-   roof which is supported by an existing permanent construction (Figure 1);
-   roof which is supported by a scaffold (Figure 2 and 3);
-   roof which is supported by another temporary construction (e.g. steel frame);
-   wall which is supported by a separate construction (Figure 4);
-   encapsulation which is a complete temporary construction including roof, walls and corresponding temporary supports (Figure 5).
This European Standard sets out general requirements. These are substantially independent of the materials of which the construction is made. This standard is intended to be used as the basis for enquiry and design.

This Standard gives simplified procedures for the thermal design of building foundations so as to avoid the occurence of frost heave. It applies to foundations on frost-susceptible ground, and includes buildings with both slab-on-ground floors and suspended floors. It covers heated and unheated buildings, but other situations requiring frost protection (for example roads, water pipes in the ground) are not included. The Standard is not applicable to cold stores and ice rinks.

This standard specifies the equations to be used in a simulation method for calculating the non steady transfer of heat and moisture through building structures.  
It also provides a benchmark example intended to be used for validating a simulation method claiming conformity with this standard, together with the allowed tolerances.
The equations in this standard take account of the following storage and one-dimensional transport phenomena:
-   heat storage in dry building materials and absorbed water;
-   heat transport by moisture-dependent thermal conduction;
-   latent heat transfer by vapour diffusion;
-   moisture storage by vapour sorption and capillary forces;
-   moisture transport by vapour diffusion;
-   moisture transport by liquid transport (surface diffusion and capillary flow).
The equations described in this standard account for the following climatic variables:
-   internal and external temperature;
-   internal and external humidity;
-   solar and longwave radiation;
-   precipitation (normal and driving rain);
-   wind speed and direction.
The hygrothermal equations described in this standard shall not be applied in cases where:
-   convection takes place through holes and cracks;
-   two-dimensional effects play an important part (e.g. rising damp, conditions around thermal bridges, effect of gravitational forces);
•   hydraulic, osmotic, electrophoretic forces are present;
daily mean temperatures in the component exceed 50 °C.

This European Standard specifies:
a)   overall indicators to express the energy performance of whole buildings, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, domestic hot water and lighting systems. This includes different possible indicators;
b)   ways to express energy requirements for the design of new buildings or renovation of existing buildings;
c)   procedures to define reference values;
d)   ways to design a procedure for building energy certification.
The standard can be applied to a group of buildings, if they are on the same lot, if they are serviced by the same technical building systems and if no more than one of them has a conditioned area of more than
1 000 m2.
This European Standard provides different options at different levels. When this European Standard is used to set up national or regional methods for expressing energy performance and/or for energy certification of buildings, the choices between the options is not made by the individual user, but by authorized national or regional bodies.
