This document (CEN ISO/TR 52010-2:2017) 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.
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, [EF2]), to support the first
edition of the EPBD [EF1] resulted in the successful publication of all EPBD related CEN standards in
2007-2008.
The 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 provide 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 & building
tradition, 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 art.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.

Introduction
The set of EPB standards, technical reports and supporting tools
In order to facilitate the necessary overall consistency and coherence, in terminology, approach,
input/output relations and formats, for the whole set of EPB-standards, the following documents and
tools are available:
a) a document with basic principles to be followed in drafting EPB-standards: CEN/TS 16628:2014,
[1]
Energy Performance of Buildings - Basic Principles for the set of EPB standards ;
b) a document with detailed technical rules to be followed in drafting EPB-standards:
CEN/TS 16629:2014, Energy Performance of Buildings - Detailed Technical Rules for the set of EPB-
[2]
standards ;
The detailed technical rules are the basis for the following tools:
1) a common template for each EPB standard, including specific drafting instructions for the relevant
clauses;
2) a common template for each technical report that accompanies an EPB standard or a cluster of EPB
standards, including specific drafting instructions for the relevant clauses;
3) a common template for the spreadsheet that accompanies each EPB (calculation) standard, to
demonstrate the correctness of the EPB calculation procedures.
Each EPB standard follows the basic principles and the detailed technical rules and relates to the
[3]
overarching EPB standard, ISO 52000-1 .
One of the main purposes of the revision of the EPB standards has been to enable that laws and
regulations directly refer to the EPB standards and make compliance with them compulsory. This
requires that the set of EPB standards consists of a systematic, clear, comprehensive and unambiguous
set of energy performance procedures. The number of options provided is kept as low as possible,
taking into account national and regional differences in climate, culture and building tradition, policy
and legal frameworks (subsidiarity principle). For each option, an informative default option is provided
(Annex B).
Rationale behind the EPB technical reports
There is a risk that the purpose and limitations of the EPB standards will be misunderstood, unless
the background and context to their contents – and the thinking behind them – is explained in some
detail to readers of the standards. Consequently, various types of informative contents are recorded
and made available for users to properly understand, apply and nationally or regionally implement the
EPB standards.
If this explanation would have been attempted in the standards themselves, the result is likely to be
confusing and cumbersome, especially if the standards are implemented or referenced in national or
regional building codes.
Therefore each EPB standard is accompanied by an informative technical report, like this one, where
all informative content is collected, to ensure a clear separation between normative and informative
[2]
contents (see CEN/TS 16629 ):
— to avoid flooding and confusing the actual normative part with informative content,
— to reduce the page count of the actual standard, and
— to facilitate understanding of the set of EPB standards.
[10]
This was also one of the main recommendations from the European CENSE project that laid the
foundation for the preparation of the set of EPB standards.
ISO/TR 52010-2:2017(E)
This document
This document accompanies ISO 52010-1, which forms part of the set of EPB standards.
The role and the positioning of the accompanied standard in the set of EPB standards is defined in the
Introduction to ISO 52010-1.
[27] [28]
Brief articles on the subject can be found in and .
ISO 52010-1 provides the common standard climatic data to be used as input by all EPB standards. It
builds on ISO 15927-1, ISO 15927-2 and ISO 15927-4 and completes a missing link: the calculation of the
distribution of solar irradiation and illuminance on a non-horizontal plane based on measured hourly
solar radiation data on a horizontal surface; with or without taking into account solar shading.
Typical inputs for ISO 52010-1 are the hourly values for diffuse horizontal and direct beam solar irradiation.
However, these quantities are not necessarily directly measured. In many cases, only the global horizontal
irradiation is available as measured parameter, and the two components need to be calculated with a
model. There are alternative models provided, open for choice at national or regional level.
For ground reflectivity often a constant value of, e.g., 0,2 is used. However, the value depends greatly
on the surface conditions, and the influence on the irradiation is not negligible. Therefore, the option of
providing hourly values is included. This may be especially of importance for mountain regions or for
high latitudes.
For the solar shading calculation, the height and distance of each shading object are given per sector of
the horizon (360 degrees). The subdivision into sectors (small or large) is open for national or regional
[5]
choice. The same solar shading calculation procedure is adopted in ISO 52016-1 for the calculation of
the building energy needs and loads. This is especially important because if there are different shading
objects in the same sector, it will not be correct to calculate the effects separately in different standards.
It is up to national or regional choice to decide about the details of the solar shading calculations.
Accompanying spreadsheet
In line with the common template for all EPB standards, a spreadsheet has been prepared for
demonstration and validation. This spreadsheet shows an overview of all input variables, the (step by
step) hourly calculation procedures and an overview of all output variables.
This accompanying calculation spreadsheet (July 2016) provides:
— full year of hourly calculations of solar irradiance (split in components) on plane with any azimuth
and tilt angle;
— validated against BESTEST cases;
— hourly calculations of solar shading by multiple shading objects along the skyline. These calculations
[5]
also cover the calculation procedures for overhangs from ISO 52016-1 .
This spreadsheet (including possible updated version) is available at www .epb .center.

5 Description of the methods
5.1 Output of the method
Beside solar radiation data, ISO 52010-1 also contains data regarding
— air temperature;
— atmospheric humidity;
ISO/TR 52010-2:2017(E)
— wind speed;
— wind direction;
— longwave radiation.
The definitions and data are obtained from the ISO 15927 series regarding hygrothermal performance
[7] [8]
of buildings ( , ).
The reason for passing these data via this standard is to have one single and consistent source for all
EPB standards and to enable any treatment if needed for specific application. The above mentioned
climatic data are not processed in this standard.
5.2 General description of the method
5.2.1 Calculation of the distribution of solar irradiance on a non-horizontal plane
[20]
It is (Torres 2006 ,) of paramount importance for HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning)
and photovoltaic systems designers to have suitable models requiring usually available data in order to
calculate the irradiance on the plane where conversion systems are located.
From all the models developed to fulfil this objective, the one of conversion or translation proposed
by Perez et al. (1986) has been widely used, as it considers all sky conditions ranging from completely
[17]
covered to clear sky (Pohlen et al., 1996 ).
Essentially, the model is compos
