v Introduction The radiant heating and cooling system consists of heat emitting/absorbing, heat supply, distribution, and control systems. The ISO 11855 series deals with the embedded surface heating and cooling system that directly controls heat exchange within the space. It does not include the system equipment itself, such as heat source, distribution system and controller.
The ISO 11855 series addresses an embedded system that is integrated with the building structure. Therefore, the panel system with open air gap, which is not integrated with the building structure, is not covered by this series.
The ISO 11855 series shall be applied to systems using not only water but also other fluids or electricity as a heating or cooling medium.
The object of the ISO 11855 series is to provide criteria to effectively design embedded systems. To do this, it presents comfort criteria for the space served by embedded systems, heat output calculation, dimensioning, dynamic analysis, installation, operation, and control method of embedded systems. SIST EN ISO 11855-2:2015

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11855-2:2012(E) © ISO 2012 – All rights reserved 1 Building environment design — Design, dimensioning, installation and control of embedded radiant heating and cooling systems — Part 2: Determination of the design heating and cooling capacity 1 Scope This part of ISO 11855 specifies procedures and conditions to enable the heat flow in water based surface heating and cooling systems to be determined relative to the medium differential temperature for systems. The determination of thermal performance of water based surface heating and cooling systems and their conformity to this part of ISO 11855 is carried out by calculation in accordance with design documents and a model. This should enable a uniform assessment and calculation of water based surface heating and cooling systems. The surface temperature and the temperature uniformity of the heated/cooled surface, nominal heat flow density between water and space, the associated nominal medium differential temperature, and the field of characteristic curves for the relationship between heat flow density and the determining variables are given as the result. This part of ISO 11855 includes a general method based on Finite Difference or Finite Element Methods and simplified calculation methods depending on position of pipes and type of building structure. The ISO 11855 series is applicable to water based embedded surface heating and cooling systems in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The methods apply to systems integrated into the wall, floor or ceiling construction without any open air gaps. It does not apply to panel systems with open air gaps which are not integrated into the building structure.
The ISO 11855 series also applies, as appropriate, to the use of fluids other than water as a heating or cooling medium. The ISO 11855 series is not applicable for testing of systems. The methods do not apply to heated or chilled ceiling panels or beams. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

5 Concept of the method to determine the heating and cooling capacity A given type of surface (floor, wall, ceiling) delivers, at a given average surface temperature and indoor temperature (operative temperature i), the same heat flux in any space independent of the type of embedded system. It is therefore possible to establish a basic formula or characteristic curve for cooling and a basic formula or characteristic curve for heating, for each of the type of surfaces (floor, wall, ceiling), independent of the type of embedded system, which is applicable to all heating and cooling surfaces (see Clause 6). Two methods are included in this part of ISO 11855:  simplified calculation methods depending on the type of system (see Clause 7);  Finite Element Method and Finite Difference Method (see Clause 8). SIST EN ISO 11855-2:2015

Figure 1 — Basic characteristic curve for floor heating and ceiling cooling SIST EN ISO 11855-2:2015

ISO 11855-2:2012(E) © ISO 2012 – All rights reserved 5 For floor heating and ceiling cooling in Figure 1, the heat flow density q is given by: q = 8,92 (S,m i)1,1 (W/m2) (1) where S,m is the average surface temperature in°C; i is the nominal indoor operative temperature in °C. For other types of surface heating and cooling systems, the heat flux q is given by: Wall heating and wall cooling: q = 8 (|s,m i |) (W/m2)
(2) Ceiling heating: q = 6 (|s,m i |) (W/m2)
(3) Floor cooling: q = 7 (|s,m i |) (W/m2)
(4) The heat transfer coefficient is combined convection and radiation. NOTE In many building system simulations using dynamic computer models, the heat transfer is often split up in a convective part (between heated/cooled surface and space air) and a radiant part (between heated/cooled surface and the surrounding surfaces or sources). The radiant heat transfer coefficient may in the normal temperature range 15-30 °C be fixed to 5,5 W/m2K. The convective heat transfer coefficient depends on type of surface, heating or cooling, air velocity (forced convection) or temperature difference between surface and air (natural convection). For using the simplified calculation method in Annex A the characteristic curves present the heat flux as a function of the difference between the heating/cooling medium temperature and the indoor temperature. For the user of Annex A, this means not to do any calculations by directly using values of heat exchange coefficients. Consequently, Annex A does not include values for such an application or special details or equations concerning heat exchange coefficients on heating or cooling surfaces. Thus, the values . of Table A.12 of Annex A are not intended to calculate the heat flux directly. In fact, they are provided exclusively for the conversion of characteristic curves in accordance with Equation (A.32) in Clause A.3. For simplifications these calculations are based on the same heat exchange coefficient for floor cooling and ceiling heating, 6,5 W/m2K. For every surface heating and cooling system, there is a maximum allowable heat flux, the limit heat flux qG. This is determined for a selected design indoor room temperature of i (for heating, often 20 °C and for cooling, often 26 °C) at the maximum or minimum surface temperature F,max and a temperature drop  = 0 K. For the calculations, the centre of the heating or cooling surface area, regardless of the type of system, is used as a reference point for S,max. The average surface temperature, S,m, which determines the heat flow density (refer to the basic characteristic curve) is linked with the maximum or minimum surface temperature: S,m  S,max and. S,m  S,min always applies. The attainable value, S,m, depends not only on the type of system, but also on the operating conditions (temperature drop  = V R, outward heat flow qu and heat resistance of the covering R,B). The following assumptions form the basis for calculation of the heat flux:  heat transfer between the heated or cooled surface and the space occurs in accordance with the basic characteristic curve; SIST EN ISO 11855-2:2015

This depends on the type of system; ()imiia is the power product, which links the parameters of the structure (surface covering, pipe spacing, pipe diameter and pipe covering).

The concept is shown in Figure 3. An equivalent resistance, RHC, between the heating or cooling medium to a fictive core (or heat conduction layer) at the position of the pipes is determined. This resistance includes the influence of type of pipe, pipe distance and method of pipe installation (in concrete, wooden construction, etc.). In this way a fictive core temperature is calculated. The heat transfer between this fictive layer and the surfaces, Ri and Re (or space and neighbour space) is calculated using linear resistances (adding of resistance of the layers above and below the heat conductive layer). The equivalent resistance of the heat conductive layer is calculated in different ways depending on the type of system. This calculation method, using the general resistance concept, is given in Annex B for the following two types of systems:  Type E with pipes embedded in massive concrete slabs (see Figure 4 and B.1);  Type F with capillary pipes embedded in a layer at the inside surface (see Figure 5 and B.2).

Calculation of the heat flux A.1 General The basic calculation is done for reference heating systems (see A.2). For floor heating systems these results apply directly. The method described in A.3 enables the conversion of these results into results for other surfaces in the room (ceiling and wall heating). The method is also applicable for all the cooling surfaces (floor, ceiling, wall cooling). This calculation method [1] is based on the results obtained in A.2.2/A.2.3 and A.2.4. The change in the surface thermal resistance R=(1/) influences the temperature field within the system in the same way as a change in the thermal resistance of the surface covering RB[1]. A.2 Reference heating systems A.2.1 General The heat flux q at a surface is determined by the following parameters:  pipe spacing W;  thickness su and thermal conductivity E of the layer above the pipe;  thermal conduction resistance R,B of covering;  pipe external diameter D = da, including sheathing (D = dM) if necessary and the thermal conductivity of the pipe R and/or the sheathing M. In the case of non-circular pipes, the equivalent diameter of circular pipes having the same circumference is to be calculated (the screed covering shall be used unchanged). The thickness and the thermal conduction resistance of firmly deposited barrier layers up to a thickness of 0,3 mm shall not be taken into consideration. In this case, D = da shall be used;  heat conducting devices, characterized by the value KWL in accordance with A.3;  contact between the pipes and the heat conducting devices or screed, characterized by the factor aK;  the heat-conducting layer of the heating system is thermally decoupled by the thermal insulation from the structural base of the building.
