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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity assessment,
as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the
Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 205, Building environment design.

Introduction
The world’s energy resources are being consumed at a significant rate that will result in the depletion
of known fossil fuel resources within the next century. Combustion of fossil fuels has contributed to the
build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere resulting in discernible climate change. The ill effects
of climate change have been documented. It is imperative that energy be conserved. The building
industry, through its use of energy, accounts for 30 % to 35 % of all fossil fuel usage. Conservation of
energy in buildings can result in a slowing down of fossil fuel usage and consequently the build-up of
greenhouse gases.
The energy efficiencies of components in HVAC systems are critical factors when determining building
overall energy performance. Therefore, it is necessary to define common test methods that are to be
used to determine efficiency for space heating, space cooling, and water heating equipment, in order to
improve energy conservation. Space heating, space cooling, and water heating equipment are typically
regulated by specifying both a measure of efficiency that the equipment must meet and a test method
that must be used to determine that measure of efficiency. A technical report containing test procedures
and globally relevant standards for the energy-efficiency of products is needed for the proper assessment
of building energy performance. This Technical Report will be a useful reference for standards developed
by ISO/TC 205 and ISO/TC 163-ISO/TC 205. The ultimate goal of this effort is to develop a set of globally
adopted HVAC equipment testing and rating standards under the auspices of ISO.
This Technical Report lists existing HVAC equipment testing and rating procedures from around
the world. Standards are listed in two ways, by the standards writing organization and by the type
of equipment addressed in the standard. In Clause 2, procedures are listed by the organization that
developed the procedure. In Clause 4, procedures are listed by the types of equipment that are covered
by the procedure. Procedures are listed to aid in the development of new ISO procedures that may be
globally adopted.
