ISO 15392 Sustainability in Building Construction Energy Testing Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 15392 is a global standard that governs the testing of sustainability in building construction energy. The standard is developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which is a non-profit organization that brings together experts from around the world to develop and promote international standards.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 15392 Sustainability in Building Construction Energy Testing testing is complex and multifaceted. In many countries, there are laws and regulations that require buildings to meet certain energy efficiency standards. For example, the European Unions (EU) Energy Performance of Buildings Directive sets minimum energy performance requirements for new and existing buildings.

International and National Standards

ISO 15392 is a global standard that applies to building construction energy testing in many countries around the world. In addition to ISO 15392, there are several national standards that apply to specific industries or regions. For example:

  • EN 15217 (European Standard) for the sustainability of buildings

  • ASTM E2844 (American Society for Testing and Materials) for the measurement of energy efficiency in building construction

  • TSE 6351 (Turkish Standards Institution) for the energy efficiency of buildings
