本欧洲标准为可持续改善历史建筑的能源性能提供了指导，例如在历史上，建筑或文化上有价值的建筑物，同时尊重其遗产意义。本标准的使用并不限于具有法定遗产名称的建筑物，适用于各类历史建筑。 根据对建筑物的调查，分析和记录，包括其遗产意义，本欧洲标准提出了选择措施来提高能源绩效的规范工作程序。该程序评估了这些措施对保护建筑物的特征要素的影响

This European Standard provides guidelines for sustainably improving the energy performance of historic buildings, e.g. historically, architecturally or culturally valuable buildings, while respecting their heritage significance. The use of this standard is not limited to buildings with statutory heritage designation, it applies to historic buildings of all types and ages. This European Standard presents a normative working procedure for selecting measures to improve energy performance, based on an investigation, analysis and documentation of the building including its heritage significance. The procedure assesses the impact of those measures in relation to preserving the character-defining elements of the building.
