Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15927-3 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 89, Thermal performance of buildings and building components, in collaboration with Technical
Committee ISO/TC 163, Thermal performance and energy use in the built environment, Subcommittee SC 2,
Calculation methods, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN
(Vienna Agreement).
ISO 15927 consists of the following parts, under the general title Hygrothermal performance of buildings —
Calculation and presentation of climatic data:
⎯ Part 1: Monthly means of single meteorological elements
⎯ Part 2: Hourly data for design cooling load
⎯ Part 3: Calculation of a driving rain index for vertical surfaces from hourly wind and rain data
⎯ Part 4: Hourly data for assessing the annual energy use for heating and cooling
⎯ Part 5: Data for design heat load for space heating
⎯ Part 6: Accumulated temperature differences (degree-days)

Introduction
This part of ISO 15927 specifies two procedures for analysing data derived from hourly observations of wind
and rainfall so as to provide an estimate in terms of both an annual average and short-term spells of the
quantity of water likely to impact on a wall of any given orientation.
[1]
The first method, which uses hourly observations of wind and rainfall, is based closely on BS 8104 , which
originated from a long series of measurements of driving rain on buildings in a wide range of locations within
the UK. As such, the method applies to climates similar to those in the UK; in other regions, with very different
climates, it is recommended that confirmation of its applicability be obtained by measurements of driving rain
on representative buildings.
Where hourly observations of wind and rain are not available, the second procedure, based on the present
weather code for rain and average wind speeds can be used.
In all cases, especially in mountainous areas, it is important that direct measurements of the rain impacting on
building façades be made wherever possible.
Rain penetration around the edges of doors and windows or similar cracks in building façades depends on
shorter periods of heavy rain and strong winds.

Hygrothermal performance of buildings — Calculation and
presentation of climatic data —
Part 3:
Calculation of a driving rain index for vertical surfaces from
hourly wind and rain data
1 Scope
This part of ISO 15927 specifies two procedures for providing an estimate of the quantity of water likely to
impact on a wall of any given orientation. It takes account of topography, local sheltering and the type of
building and wall.
The first method, given in Clause 3 and based on coincident hourly rainfall and wind data, defines a means of
calculating
⎯ the annual average index, which influences the moisture content of an absorbent surface, such as
masonry, and
⎯ the spell index, which influences the likelihood of rain penetration through masonry and joints in other
walling systems.
The second method, given in Clause 4 and based on average wind data and a qualitative recording of the
presence and intensity of rain (the present weather code for rain), defines a means of calculating the spell
length during which an absorbent material such as masonry is moistened, which has a 10 % probability of
being exceeded in any year (commonly referred to as having a mean return period of 10 years).
A comparison between the two methods is given in informative Annex D.
Procedures are given to correct the results of both methods for topography, local sheltering and the type of
building and wall.
The methods included in this part of ISO 15927 do not apply in
a) mountainous areas with sheer cliffs or deep gorges,
b) areas in which more than 25 % of the annual rainfall comes from severe convective storms,
c) areas and periods when a significant proportion of precipitation is made up of snow or hail.
