Heating systems in buildings - Method for calculation of system energy requirements and system efficiencies - Part 1: General

This European Standard specifies the structure for calculation of energy use for space heating systems and domestic hot water systems in buildings. It standardises the required inputs and outputs for the calculations, in order to achieve a common European calculation method.
The calculation method facilitates the energy analysis of the different sub-systems of the heating system, including control (emission, distribution, storage, generation), through determination of the system energy losses and the system performance factors. This performance analysis permits the comparison between sub-systems and makes it possible to monitor the impact of each sub-system on the energy performance of the building.
Calculations of the system energy losses of each sub-system of the heating system are defined in subsequent standards (prEN 15316, parts 2-x, 3-x and 4-x). The system thermal losses, the recoverable system thermal losses and the auxiliary energy of the sub-systems of the heating system are summed up. The system thermal losses of the heating system contribute to the overall energy use in buildings (prEN 15603).
Ventilation systems are not included in this European Standard (e.g. balanced systems with heat recovery), but if the air is preheated or an air heating system is installed, system energy losses of these systems are covered by this European Standard.

Heizanlagen in Gebäuden - Verfahren zur Berechnung des Energiebedarfs und Nutzungsgrade der Anlagen - Teil 1: Allgemeines

Der Anwendungsbereich dieses allgemeinen Teils umfasst die Normung der erforderlichen Eingangsgrößen, der Ausgangsgrößen und der Verbindungen (Struktur) des Berechnungsverfahrens mit dem Ziel, ein einheitliches europäisches Berechnungsverfahren zu erarbeiten. Ein derartiges einheitliches Berechnungsverfahren kann dabei helfen, die freie Bewegung von Leistungen (Optimierung der Energieeffizienz, Angabe des herkömmlichen Niveaus des Energiebedarfs) und Produkten (Software) zu erleichtern.
Diese Norm umfasst keine Lüftungsanlagen (z. B. ausgeglichene Anlagen mit Wärmerückgewinnung); wird jedoch die Luft vorgewärmt oder ist eine Luftheizanlage eingebaut, werden die Anlagenverluste dieser Anlagen von der vorliegenden Norm abgedeckt.
Die Energieeffizienz kann entweder durch Anwendung der Werte für die Nutzungsgrade der Anlage oder durch Anwendung der Werte für die durch Unzulänglichkeiten verursachten Anlagenverluste bewertet werden.
Das Berechnungsverfahren beruht auf einer Analyse der folgenden Aspekte einer Raumheiz  und Trinkwarmwasseranlage:
der Energieeffizienz der Übergabe, einschließlich Regelung;
der Energieeffizienz der Verteilung, einschließlich Regelung;
der Energieeffizienz der Speicherung, einschließlich Regelung;
der Energieeffizienz der Erzeugung, einschließlich Regelung (z. B. Heizkessel, Solarzellenplatten, Wärmepumpen, Einheiten für die Kraft Wärme Kopplung).
Die für die Heizanlage erforderliche Energie wird für die Wärmeenergie und die Elektroenergie separat berechnet, um die Endenergie zu bestimmen, und anschließend wird die entsprechende Primärenergie berechnet.
Die Entscheidungen hinsichtlich der Berechnungsfaktoren für die Umwandlung des Energiebedarfs in die Primärenergie sind auf nationaler Ebene zu treffen.

Systemes de chauffage dans les bâtiments - Méthode de calcul des exigences énergétiques et des rendements du systeme - Partie 1: Généralités

La présente Norme européenne spécifie la structure de calcul de l’énergie utilisée pour les systèmes de chauffage des locaux et les systèmes de production d’eau chaude sanitaire dans les bâtiments. Elle normalise les données d’entrée et de sortie des calculs, afin d’obtenir une méthode de calcul commune au niveau européen.
La méthode de calcul facilite l’analyse énergétique des différents sous-systèmes du système de chauffage, y compris la régulation (émission, distribution, stockage, génération), par détermination des pertes d’énergie du système et des facteurs de performance du système. Cette analyse de performance permet de comparer les sous-systèmes et de contrôler l’impact de chacun d’eux sur la performance énergétique du bâtiment.
Le calcul des pertes d’énergie de chaque sous-système du système de chauffage est défini dans les normes suivantes (EN 15316, Parties 2-x, 3-x et 4-x). On totalise les pertes thermiques du système, les pertes thermiques récupérables du système et l’énergie consommée par les auxiliaires des sous-systèmes du système de chauffage. Les pertes thermiques du système de chauffage contribuent à l’utilisation générale de l’énergie dans les bâtiments (prEN 15603).
Les systèmes de ventilation ne sont pas compris dans la présente Norme européenne (par exemple les systèmes double flux avec récupération de chaleur), mais si l’air est préchauffé ou si un système de chauffage de l’air est installé, la déperdition d’énergie de ces systèmes est couverte par la présente Norme européenne.

EN 15316-1:2007 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 15316-1:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 228 “Heating systems in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by DS. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2008. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association (Mandate M/343), and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 2002/91/EC on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD). It forms part of a series of standards aimed at European harmonisation of the methodology for calculation of the energy performance of buildings. An overview of the whole set of standards is given in prCEN/TR 15615. 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, a.o. product 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.

EN 15316-1:2007 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard constitutes the general part of a set of standards on calculation method for determining system energy requirements and system efficiencies of space heating systems and domestic hot water systems. Other parts of this set of standards cover specific calculation methods related to the various sub-systems of the heating system. The calculation method is used for the following applications:  judging compliance with regulations expressed in terms of energy targets;  optimisation of the energy performance of a planned building, by applying the method to several possible options;  displaying a conventional level of energy performance of existing buildings;  assessing the effect of possible energy conservation measures on an existing building, by calculation of the energy requirements with and without the energy conservation measure implemented;  predicting future energy resource needs on a national or international scale, by calculation of the energy requirements of several buildings which are representative of the entire building stock.



EN 15316-1:2007 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the structure for calculation of energy use for space heating systems and domestic hot water systems in buildings. It standardises the required inputs and outputs for the calculations, in order to achieve a common European calculation method. The calculation method facilitates the energy analysis of the different sub-systems of the heating system, including control (emission, distribution, storage, generation), through determination of the system energy losses and the system performance factors. This performance analysis permits the comparison between sub-systems and makes it possible to monitor the impact of each sub-system on the energy performance of the building. Calculations of the system energy losses of each sub-system of the heating system are defined in subsequent standards (prEN 15316, parts 2-x, 3-x and 4-x). The system thermal losses, the recoverable system thermal losses and the auxiliary energy of the sub-systems of the heating system are summed up. The system thermal losses of the heating system contribute to the overall energy use in buildings (prEN 15603). Ventilation systems are not included in this European Standard (e.g. balanced systems with heat recovery), but if the air is preheated or an air heating system is installed, system energy losses of these systems are covered by this European Standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Lighting is always included except (by decision of national bodies) for residential buildings. 3.1.7 calculation step discrete time interval for the calculation of the energy needs and uses for heating, cooling, humidification and dehumidification NOTE Typical discrete time intervals are one hour, one month or one heating and/or cooling season, operating modes and bins. 3.1.8 calculation period period of time over which the calculation is performed NOTE The calculation period can be divided into a number of calculation steps.



EN 15316-1:2007 (E) 8 3.1.9 conditioned area floor area of conditioned spaces excluding non-habitable cellars or non-habitable parts of a space, including the floor area on all storeys if more than one NOTE 1 The precise definition of the conditioned area is given by national authorities. NOTE 2 Internal, overall internal or external dimensions can be used. This leads to different areas for the same building. NOTE 3 Some services, such as lighting or ventilation, might be provided to areas not included in this definition (e.g. a car park). NOTE 4 Conditioned area can be taken as the useful area mentioned in the Articles 5, 6 and 7 of the EPBD2) unless it is otherwise defined in national regulations. 3.1.10 conditioned space heated and/or cooled space NOTE The heated and/or cooled spaces are used to define the thermal envelope. 3.1.11 conditioned zone part of a conditioned space with a given set-point temperature or set-point temperatures, throughout which there is the same occupancy pattern and the internal temperature is assumed to have negligible spatial variations, and which is controlled by a single heating system, cooling system and/or ventilation system 3.1.12 CO2 emission coefficient quantity of CO2 emitted to the atmosphere per unit of delivered energy NOTE The CO2 emission coefficient can also include the equivalent emissions of other greenhouse gases (e.g. methane). 3.1.13 cogeneration simultaneous generation in one process of thermal energy and electrical or mechanical energy NOTE Also known as combined heat and power (CHP). 3.1.14 delivered energy energy content, expressed per energy carrier, supplied to the technical building systems through the system boundary, to satisfy the uses taken into account (e.g. heating, cooling, ventilation, domestic hot water, lighting, appliances) or to produce electricity NOTE 1
For active solar and wind energy systems, the incident solar radiation on solar panels or on solar collectors or the kinetic energy of wind is not part of the energy balance of the building. It is decided on a national level whether or not renewable energy produced on site constitutes part of the delivered energy. NOTE 2 Delivered energy can be calculated for defined energy uses or it can be measured. 3.1.15 domestic hot water heating process of heat supply to raise the temperature of the cold water to the intended delivery temperature

NOTE 2 According to ISO 13602-2, the gross calorific value is preferred to the net calorific value. NOTE 3 The net calorific value does not take into account the latent heat of condensation. 3.1.32 heat gains heat generated within or entering into the conditioned space from heat sources other than technical building thermal systems (e.g. heating, cooling or domestic hot water preparation) NOTE 1 These include internal heat gains and solar heat gains. Sinks that extract heat from the building, are included as gains with a negative sign. In contrast to heat transfer, for a heat source (or sink) the difference between the temperature of the considered space and the temperature of the source is not the driving force for the heat flow.



EN 15316-1:2007 (E) 11 NOTE 2 For summer conditions heat gains with a positive sign constitute extra heat load on the space. 3.1.33 heat recovery heat generated by a technical building system or linked to a building use (e.g. domestic hot water) which is utilised directly in the related system to lower the heat input and which would otherwise be wasted (e.g. preheating of the combustion air by flue gas heat exchanger) 3.1.34 heating or cooling season period of the year during which a significant amount of energy for heating or cooling is needed NOTE The season lengths are used to determine the operation period of technical systems. 3.1.35 heated space room or enclosure which for the purposes of the calculation is assumed to be heated to a given set-point temperature or set-point temperatures 3.1.36 heating system
