Performance thermique des bâtiments - Coefficients de transfert de chaleur par transmission et par renouvellement d'air - Méthode de calcul (ISO 13789:2017)

L'ISO 13789:2017 établit une méthode et des conventions pour le calcul des coefficients de transfert thermique par transmission et par renouvellement d'air, en régime stationnaire, pour des bâtiments complets ou des parties de bâtiments. Il s'applique aux déperditions thermiques (température intérieure supérieure à la température extérieure) comme aux gains thermiques (température intérieure inférieure à la température extérieure). Pour les besoins de l'ISO 13789:2017, la température de l'espace chauffé ou refroidi est supposée uniforme.
L'Annexe C donne une méthode de calcul de la température, en régime stationnaire, dans des espaces non conditionnés adjacents à des espaces conditionnés.

European foreword
This document (EN ISO 13789:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 163 "Thermal
performance and energy use in the built environment" in collaboration with Technical Committee
CEN/TC 89 “Thermal performance of buildings and building components” the secretariat of which is
held by SIS.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2018 and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by January 2018.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
This document is part of the set of standards and accompanying technical reports on the energy
performance of buildings and has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association (Mandate M/480, see reference [EF3] below).
Directive 2010/31/EU recasting the Directive 2002/91/EC on energy performance of buildings (EPBD,
[EF4]) promotes the improvement of the energy performance of buildings within the European Union,
taking into account all types of energy uses (heating, lighting, cooling, air conditioning, ventilation) and
outdoor climatic and local conditions, as well as indoor climate requirements and cost effectiveness
(Article 1).
The directive requires Member States to adopt measures and tools to achieve the prudent and rational
use of energy resources. In order to achieve those goals, the EPBD requires increasing energy efficiency
and the enhanced use of renewable energies in both new and existing buildings. One tool for this is the
application by Member States of minimum requirements on the energy performance of new buildings
and for existing buildings that are subject to major renovation, as well as for minimum performance
requirements for the building envelope if energy-relevant parts are replaced or retrofitted. Other tools
are energy certification of buildings, inspection of boilers and air-conditioning systems.
The use of European standards increases the accessibility, transparency and objectivity of the energy
performance assessment in the Member States facilitating the comparison of best practices and
supporting the internal market for construction products. The use of EPB standards for calculating
energy performance, as well as for energy performance certification and the inspection of heating
systems and boilers, ventilation and air-conditioning systems will reduce costs compared to developing
different standards at national level.
The first mandate to CEN to develop a set of CEN EPBD standards (M/343, [EF1]), to support the first
edition of the EPBD ([EF2]) resulted in the successful publication of all EPBD related CEN standards in
2007-2008.
Mandate M/480 was issued to review the mandate M/343 as the recast of the EPBD raised the need to
revisit the standards and reformulate and add standards so that they become on the one hand
unambiguous and compatible, and on the other hand a clear and explicit overview of the choices,
boundary conditions and input data that need to be defined at national or regional level. Such national
or regional choices remain necessary, due to differences in climate, culture and building tradition,

EN ISO 13789:2017 (E)
policy and legal frameworks. Consequently, the set of CEN EPBD standards published in 2007-2008 had
to be improved and expanded on the basis of the recast of the EPBD.
The EPB standards are flexible enough to allow for necessary national and regional differentiation and
facilitate Member States implementation and the setting of requirements by the Member States.
Further target groups are users of the voluntary common European Union certification scheme for the
energy performance of non-residential buildings (EPBD article 11.9) and any other regional (e.g. pan
European) parties wanting to motivate their assumptions by classifying the building energy
performance for a dedicated building stock.
This document supersedes EN ISO 13789:2007.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Introduction
This document is part of a series aimed at the international harmonization of the methodology for
assessing the energy performance of buildings. Throughout, this series is referred to as a “set of EPB
standards”.
All EPB standards follow specific rules to ensure overall consistency, unambiguity and transparency.
All EPB standards provide a certain flexibility with regard to the methods, the required input data and
references to other EPB standards, by the introduction of a normative template in Annex A and Annex B
with informative default choices.
For the correct use of this document, a normative template is given in Annex A to specify these choices.
Informative default choices are provided in Annex B.
The main target groups for this document are architects, engineers and regulators.
Use by or for regulators: In case the document is used in the context of national or regional legal
requirements, mandatory choices may be given at national or regional level for such specific
applications. These choices (either the informative default choices from Annex B or choices adapted to
national/regional needs, but in any case following the template of Annex A) can be made available as
national annex or as separate (e.g. legal) document (national data sheet).
NOTE 1 So in this case:
— the regulators will specify the choices;
— the individual user will apply the document to assess the energy performance of a building, and thereby use
the choices made by the regulators.
Topics addressed in this document can be subject to public regulation. Public regulation on the same
topics can override the default values in Annex B. Public regulation on the same topics can even, for
certain applications, override the use of this document. Legal requirements and choices are in general
not published in standards but in legal documents. In order to avoid double publications and difficult
updating of double documents, a national annex may refer to the legal texts where national choices
have been made by public authorities. Different national annexes or national data sheets are possible,
for different applications.
It is expected, if the default values, choices and references to other EPB standards in Annex B are not
followed due to national regulations, policy or traditions, that:
— national or regional authorities prepare data sheets containing the choices and national or regional
values, according to the model in Annex A. In this case a national annex (e.g. NA) is recommended,
containing a reference to these data sheets;
— or, by default, the national standards body will consider the possibility to add or include a national
annex in agreement with the template of Annex A, in accordance to the legal documents that give
national or regional values and choices.
Further target groups are parties wanting to motivate their assumptions by classifying the building
energy performance for a dedicated building stock.
More information is provided in the Technical Report (ISO/TR 52019-2) accompanying this document.
The subset of EPB standards prepared under the responsibility of ISO/TC 163/SC 2 cover inter alia:
— calculation procedures on the overall energy use and energy performance of buildings;
— calculation procedures on the internal temperature in buildings (e.g. in case of no space heating or
cooling);
— indicators for partial EPB requirements related to thermal energy balance and fabric features;

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 13789:2017
ISO 13789:2017(E)

— calculation methods covering the performance and thermal, hygrothermal, solar and visual
characteristics of specific parts of the building and specific building elements and components, such
as opaque envelope elements, ground floor, windows and facades.
ISO/TC 163/SC 2 cooperates with other technical committees for the details on appliances, technical
building systems, indoor environment, etc.
This document provides the means (in part) to assess the contribution that building products and
services make to energy conservation and to the overall energy performance of buildings.
The aims of ISO 13789 are
— to clarify the international market through the harmonized definition of intrinsic characteristics of
buildings;
— to help in judging compliance with regulations;
— to provide input data for calculation of annual energy use for heating or cooling of buildings.
The result of the calculations can be used as input for calculation of annual energy use and heating or
cooling load of buildings, for expressing the thermal transmission and/or ventilation characteristics
of a building or for judging compliance with specifications expressed in terms of transmission and/or
ventilation heat transfer coefficients.
Table 1 shows the relative position of this document within the set of EPB standards in the context of
the modular structure as set out in ISO 52000-1.
NOTE 2 In ISO/TR 52000-2, the same table can be found, with, for each module, the numbers of the relevant
EPB standards and accompanying technical reports that are published or in preparation.
NOTE 3 The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard could cover more than one module
and one module could be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance, a simplified and a detailed method
respectively. See also Tables A.1 and B.1.
