Final voting on prEN 16798-1: narrow disapproval
As we all can read from the new issue of REHVA Journal (1/2017), 29 EPB EN-standards of the total 31 have been approved. These standards passed the Formal Vote last week of January 2017 and will soon be published. FprEN 16798-3 is still on voting until early April 2017, and the Committee Vote on Technical Reports prCEN/TR 16798-2 and -4 will close in early March. Formal Vote on FprEN 16798-1 Energy performance of buildings. Part 1: Indoor environmental input parameters for design and assessment of energy performance of buildings addressing indoor air quality, thermal environment, lighting and acoustics closed on 9 February. In the weighted vote, 69% of the cast votes were positive, but 71% would have been needed to have the standard approved.
The CEN regulations give several options to proceed after a negative result. The Technical Committee in charge, in this case CEN/TC 156, will decide (by taking a decision) on one of several options, including:
- To submit a modified version of the FprEN to a second Formal Vote;
- To submit a modified version of the FprEN to a UAP (Unique Acceptance Procedure);
- To transfer the work to ISO within the framework of the Vienna Agreement, if appropriate.
In this case, the ISO option is interesting, because the technically nearly identical ISO 17772-1 has been approved in ISO voting, giving a possibility to adopt it as an EN ISO standard, with or without modifications. However, in any case the decision is now up to CEN/TC 156, who will have the next scheduled meeting in early May.
