Introduction
The series of international standards for building energy efficiency assessment is also known as the "EPB series of standards." EPB series standards follow the same rules to ensure
Consistency, continuity and openness among the standards in the series.
ISO 6946.2017 is one of the EPB series of international standards. The standardization goal is to achieve building energy efficiency through building energy efficiency assessment
Rating, the position in the series of standards is shown in Table 1.The main target audiences of the standards are architects, engineers and regulatory agencies.
