ISO 17743:2016 establishes a methodological framework that applies to the calculation and reporting of energy savings from existing (implemented) and prospective measures and actions which intend to save energy. This framework standard will be applicable to other standards in the field of energy saving determination.

- terminology;

- definition of the system boundaries;

- principles for the determination of a baseline;

- principles for statistical indicator-based methods;

- data used;
