Introduction
This European Standard is part of a set of standards developed to support the EPBD implementation,
hereafter called “EPB standards”.
EPB standards deal with energy performance calculation and other related aspects (like system sizing)
to provide the building services considered in the EPBD.
All EPB standards follow specific rules to ensure overall consistency, unambiguity and transparency.
All EPB standards provide a certain flexibility with regard to the methods, the required input data and
references to other EPB standards, by the introduction of a normative template in Annex A and Annex B
with informative default choices.
For the correct use of this standard, a normative template is given in Annex A to specify these choices.
Informative default choices are provided in Annex B.
— Where appropriate, the method(s) in each of the EPB standards may provide simplified procedures
and/or default values as alternative options. Without further specification, these simplified
procedures and/or default values may be used without restricting criteria.
NOTE 1 For instance because these are conservative procedures or values.
The term 'default values' should not be confused with 'informative values'. If the values are given in the
normative part of the standard, they are normative values. See also next options.
— In other cases, these simplified procedures and/or default values may be intended to be used only
for situations where there is limited information. This may be the case in existing buildings with
limited possibilities to acquire all input data. In particular when the EPB set of standards is used in
the context of national or regional building regulations, specific criteria when the simplified method
and/or default data are allowed, may be given at national or regional level, following the template
in Annex A. Annex B provides (informative) default choices.
Use by or for regulators: In case the standard is used in the context of national or regional legal
requirements, mandatory choices may be given at national or regional level for such specific
applications. These choices (either the informative default choices from Annex B or choices adapted to
national / regional needs, but in any case following the template of this Annex A) can be made available
as national annex or as separate (e.g. legal) document (national data sheet).
NOTE 2 So in this case:
— the regulators will specify the choices;
— the individual user will apply the standard to assess the energy performance of a building, and
thereby use the choices made by the regulators.
Topics addressed in this standard can be subject to public regulation. Public regulation on the same
topics can override the default values in Annex B of this standard. Public regulation on the same topics
can even, for certain applications, override the use of this standard. Legal requirements and choices are
in general not published in standards but in legal documents. In order to avoid double publications and
difficult updating of double documents, a national annex may refer to the legal texts where national
choices have been made by public authorities. Different national annexes or national data sheets are
possible, for different applications.

1 Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings

(recast)
It is expected, if the default values, choices and references to other EPB standards in Annex B are not
followed due to national regulations, policy or traditions, that:
— national or regional authorities prepare data sheets containing the choices and national or regional
values, according to the model in Annex A. In this case, the national annex (e.g. NA) refers to this
text;
— or, by default, the national standards body will consider the possibility to add or include a national
annex in agreement with the template of Annex A, in accordance to the legal documents that give
national or regional values and choices.
Further target groups are parties wanting to motivate their assumptions by classifying the building
energy performance for a dedicated building stock.
More information is provided in the Technical Report accompanying this standard (prCEN/TR 15616-6-
6, under preparation).
The subjects covered by CEN/TC 228 are the following:
— design of heating systems (water based, electrical etc.);
— installation of heating systems;
— commissioning of heating systems;
— instructions for operation, maintenance and use of heating systems;
— methods for calculation of the design heat loss and heat loads;
— methods for calculation of the energy performance of heating systems.
Heating systems also include the effect of attached systems such as hot water production systems.
All these standards are systems standards, i.e. they are based on requirements addressed to the system
as a whole and not dealing with requirements to the products within the system.
Where possible, reference is made to other European or International Standards. However, use of
products complying with relevant product standards is no guarantee of compliance with the system
requirements.
The requirements are mainly expressed as functional requirements, i.e. requirements dealing with the
function of the system and not specifying shape, material, dimensions or the like.
The guidelines describe ways to meet the requirements, but other ways to fulfil the functional
requirements might be used if fulfilment can be proved.
Heating systems differ among the member countries due to climate, traditions and national regulations.
In some cases, requirements are given as classes so national or individual needs may be accommodated.
In cases where the standards contradict with national regulations, the latter should be followed.
This standard (EN 15316-4-3) gives six methods to take into account the energy performance of solar
systems for heating of domestic hot water, space heating and electricity production.
The methods 1 to 3 address solar thermal applications.
— Method 1 is valid for the generation of heat for domestic hot water production, using system
performance data in conformity with product standards.
— Method 2 is valid for the generation of heat for domestic hot water production and/or space
heating with a time step of one month, using component data in conformity with product standards.
— Method 3 is valid for the generation of heat for domestic hot water production and/or space
heating with a time step of one hour, using component data in conformity with product standards.
The methods 4 to 6 address photovoltaic systems.
— Method 4 is valid for calculation of the electricity production of photovoltaic systems, with a time
step of one year, using component data in conformity with product standards.
Only the calculation method and the accompanying input parameters are normative. All values
required to parameter the calculation method should be given in a national annex, containing
appropriate national values corresponding to the tables given in Annex C.
— Method 5 is valid for calculation of the electricity production of photovoltaic systems, with a time
step of one month, using component data in conformity with product standards. It represents the
translation of the yearly method 4 to a monthly base.
— Method 6 is valid for calculation of the electricity production of photovoltaic systems, with a time
step of one hour.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the:
— required inputs;
— calculation method;
— required and resulting outputs,
for heat generation systems, thermal solar systems (for space heating, domestic hot water production
and the combination of both) and for photovoltaic systems applied in buildings.
Within this standard, 6 methods are specified each method has its own range of applicability.
— Method 1,
is applicable for solar domestic hot water systems characterized by the EN 12976 series (factory
made) or EN 12977-2 (custom built).
The main output of the method is the solar heat and back up heat contribution to the requested
heat use.
— Method 2,
is applicable for systems for domestic hot water and / or space heating with components
characterized by EN ISO 9806 and EN 12977-3 or EN 12977-4 with a monthly calculation time step.
The main output of the method is the solar heat and back up heat contribution to the requested
heat use.
— Method 3,
is applicable for systems for domestic hot water and / or space heating with components
characterized by EN ISO 9806 with an hourly calculation time step.
The main output of the method is collector loop heat supplied to the heat storage.
— Method 4,
is applicable for photovoltaic systems with components characterized by standards and with an
annual calculation time step.
The output of the method is the produced electricity.
— Method 5,
is applicable for photovoltaic systems with components characterized by standards and with a
monthly calculation time step.
The output of the method is the produced electricity.
— Method 6,
is applicable for photovoltaic systems with components characterized by standards and with a
calculation time step.
The output of the method is the produced electricity.
These three last calculation methods do not take into account:
— electrical storage;
— PV/thermal photovoltaic systems.
Primary energy savings and CO savings, which can be achieved by photovoltaic systems compared to
other systems, are calculated according to EN ISO 52000-1.
NOTE 1 Standards linked to the methods are listed in Annex E.
Table 1 shows the relative position of this standard within the set of EPB standards in the context of the
modular structure as set out in EN ISO 52000-1.
NOTE 2 In CEN ISO/TR 52000-2 the same table can be found, with, for each module, the numbers of the
relevant EPB standards and accompanying technical reports that are published or in preparation.
NOTE 3 The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard may cover more than one module
and one module may be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance a simplified and a
detailed method respectively. See also Clause 2 and Tables A.1 and B.1.
