That includes, in addition to thermal characteristics, other factors that play an increasingly important role such as heating and air-conditioning installations, application of energy from renewable sources, passive heating and cooling elements, shading, indoor air-quality, adequate natural light and design of the building.

(10) The energy performance of buildings should be calculated on the basis of a common methodology, with objective variables that take into account regional climatic differences , and that includes, in addition to thermal characteristics, other factors that play an increasingly important role such as heating, cooling and ventilation systems, heat recovery, zone control, application of renewable energy sources, passive heating and cooling elements, shading, indoor air-quality, adequate natural ...[+++] light measurements , insulation and lighting systems, monitoring and control systems and design of the building.

(9) The energy performance of buildings should be calculated on the basis of a methodology, which may be differentiated at national and regional level, and that includes, in addition to thermal characteristics, other factors that play an increasingly important role such as heating and air-conditioning installations, application of renewable energy sources, passive heating and cooling elements, shading, indoor air-quality, adequate natural light and design of the building.

The most recent ICRP recommendations were issued early in 1991, and the provisions of the Directive have been reexamined accordingly. 1 COM(93) 349 The main amendments contained in the proposal are: - use of the definitions, quantities, units and weighting factors for radiation and tissues set out in the latest ICRP recommendations, - setting of stricter dose limits (taken from the latest ICRP recommendations) taking account of more recent estimates of the carcinogenicity of exposure to ionizing radiation, and the concept of detriment to health, - new provisions on radiological protection in certain cases of exposure to natural radiation sources at work, ...[+++] - banning of certain unjustified uses of radioactivity, - extension of the protective measures to be taken in the event of a radiological accident, - introduction of the concept of "dose constraint" in connection with a given source, - adjustment of the radioactivity levels relating to the authorisation/declaration conditions provided for in the Directive.

From what we can see, most of the legislation remains based on the Ontario Court of Appeal ruling that legitimizes the concept of party government trumping individual rights.
