Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) The energy performance of buildings should be calculated on the basis of a methodology, which may be differentiated at national and regional level, and that includcalculation method harmonised at Community level with variable objectives taking into account the climate differences in the various countries, in addition to thermal characteristics, other factors that play an increasingly important role such as heating and air-conditioning installations, application of renewable energy sources, passive heating and cooling elements, shading, indoor air- quality, adequate natural light and design of the building. The methodology for calculating energy performance should not only be based on the season where heating is required, but should cover the annual energy performance of a building.
