Energy performance and sustainability
• ISO/TC 163, Thermal performance and energy use in the built environment,
has more than 130 standards providing guidelines and methods for the
calculation of energy consumption in buildings, covering areas such as
heating, lighting, ventilation and so forth.
Fires cause destruction and devastation, costing the lives and livelihoods
of people. With the increased density of housing, protecting against fires
and detecting fire risks have never been more important.
Examples include :
• ISO 16757-1, Data structures for electronic
product catalogues for building services –
Part 1 : Concepts, architecture and model
• ISO/TS 12911, Framework for building
information modelling (BIM) guidance

Lifts and escalators
Rising urbanization and denser populations mean buildings across the world
are getting taller. Efficient lifts and escalators are thus essential to cope with
the increased loads and access needs and must be operable in times of
disaster, such as fire, to evacuate high-rise structures.
14
Design life, durability and service life planning
An example is :
• ISO 15686-5, Buildings and constructed assets – Service life planning –
Part 5 : Life-cycle costing,
which helps track the cost performance over an asset’s lifespan.
