A new international standard from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) seeks to help the building sector contribute to energy savings by providing it with specific design guidelines.

ISO 23045:2008 - Building environment design - Guidelines to assess energy efficiency of new buildings provides energy-related requirements for the design process, or to achieve targeted values of energy efficiency for new buildings.


The building sector is recognized as a major contributor to the buildup of greenhouse gases. ISO said these emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere could be reduced significantly through the application of international standards relating to the energy-efficient design of buildings and building mechanical equipment.

The objectives of the standard are to assist designers and practitioners when they collect and provide the data that are required at different stages of the design process and to fulfill building design objectives.

ISO 23045:2008 applies to new buildings and is also applicable to systems for heating, cooling, lighting, domestic hot water, service water heating, ventilation and related controls.

Introducing energy efficiency in the design process leads to a reduction in energy demand through a global approach to the building, including analysis of the building location, definition of the building envelope, energy systems and products, ISO said.

ISO 23045:2008 will assist in:

  • Collecting and providing information regarding the energy efficiency of the building under consideration.
  • Conducting the iterative process aimed at improving energy efficiency of buildings.
  • Obtaining the target values for energy efficiency ratios used in labeling or information to the public or/and consumers.

"Today's worldwide increase in efforts toward rational use of natural resources is increasing the markets for energy-efficient buildings and building equipment," said Stephen Turner, leader of the ISO group that developed the standard.

"The building sector holds great prospects for energy saving through the design of buildings with improved thermal performance and increased efficiency of mechanical equipment, as well of course through the entire range of buildings' lifecycles. ISO 23045:2008 will help the building sector design buildings to a specified level of efficiency," Turner said.
