This International Standard provides methods of calculation of heat transfer coefficients and heat flow rates for
building elements in thermal contact with the ground, including slab-on-ground floors, suspended floors and
basements. It applies to building elements, or parts of them, below a horizontal plane in the bounding walls of
the building situated
-- for slab-on-ground floors, suspended floors and unheated basements, at the level of the inside floor
surface;
-- for heated basements, at the level of the external ground surface.
This International Standard includes calculation of the steady-state part of the heat transfer (the annual
average rate of heat flow) and the part due to annual periodic variations in temperature (the seasonal
variations of the heat flow rate about the annual average). These seasonal variations are obtained on a
monthly basis and, except for the application to dynamic simulation programmes in Annex D, this International
Standard does not apply to shorter periods of time.
