This standard BS EN ISO 15927-1:2003 Hygrothermal performance of buildings. Calculation and presentation of climatic data. is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.120.30 Waterproofing
• 91.120.10 Thermal insulation of buildings

This European Standard specifies procedures for calculating and presenting the monthly means of those parameters of climatic data needed to assess some aspects of the thermal and moisture performance of buildings. Numerical values should be obtained from the meteorological service in the relevant country.

This European Standard covers the following single climate variables:

• air temperature;

• atmospheric humidity;

• wind speed;

• precipitation;

• solar radiation;

• longwave radiation.
