Proposal of the scope:

This document specifies methods for the determination of the thermal transmittance of rooflights and roof hatches intended for the use on upstand in flat and slightly inclined roofs, with and without an upstand.

- different types of opaque elements
- different constructions of upstands
This document excludes:
- thermal bridge effects at the rebate or joint between the rooflight and the rest of the building envelope
- effects of solar radiation,
- heat transfer caused by air leakage,
- Calculation of condensation.
