The purpose of the functional check is to prove the operation of installation in different operational conditions in compliance with the relevant technical rules and the specification. The check shows whether the particular elements of the system such as filters, fans, heat exchangers, coolers, humidifiers etc. have been properly installed. 5.2 Put system into use
Put the system in running, adjusted and safe condition. Adjustment protocols and operation instructions shall be available. 5.3 Procedure Functional checks shall be carried out on every kind of installed equipment. Before starting the checks, a checklist shall be drawn up. The extent of functional checks is defined in Annex C. The locations for the checks shall be the subject of prior agreement by the parties concerned. Instruction for the procedure and a list of usual functional checks are given in Annex B. SIST EN 12599:2013
The purpose of the functional measurements is to give proper assurance that the system achieves the design conditions and set points as specified. When judging the results of measurements in a ventilated or air conditioned space the influence of physical characteristics of the building should be taken into account. Functional measurements can take place at other conditions than design conditions. The measurements are allowed to be calculated into design conditions if the calculation is possible. (e.g. possible: heat exchanger, not possible: air flow pattern) 6.2 Range of functional measurements

The number of measuring points in a room should take into account the floor area and the measured parameters. At least one measuring position is required for measurements in rooms of area up to 20 m² ; larger rooms should be subdivided accordingly. For the measurements in the room, the measuring positions in the occupied zone shall be agreed between the parties concerned, preferably at positions intended for intensive occupancy. With regard to the selection of the measuring instruments the overall uncertainty shall be taken into account. Calibrated devices shall be used. The indoor climate factors and air flow rates, heating, cooling and humidifying performances, electrical characteristics and other design data shall be measured at the ventilation system design air flow rate. The permissible uncertainties of the measured values are given in Table 3.
Table 3 — Permissible uncertainty of the measurement
Parameter Uncertainty*) Air flow rate, each individual room ± 15 % Air flow rate, each system ± 10 % Supply air temperature
± 2 °C Relative humidity [RH] ± 15 % RH Air velocity in occupied zone ± 0,05 m/s Air temperature in occupied zone ± 1,5 °C A-weighted sound pressure level in the room ± 3 dBA *) This European Standard does not define tolerances for the design values itself. The result is accepted when the design value is in the range of the uncertainty of the measurement.
6.4.1 General Annex D provides information concerning measuring methods and devices which are adequate for the functional measurement. In the case of measurements in ducts and air conditioning systems with negative pressure, measuring errors due to an infiltration by the measuring device opening of air shall be avoided. In any case, the openings in the ducts have to be closed after measuring. 6.4.2 Measurement of the air flow rate
The air flow rate can be evaluated by different methods. Usually, it is calculated from the air velocity and the corresponding cross-section. The air velocity can be measured by means of an appropriate anemometer, Pitot Static Tube (Prandtl tube) or a pressure drop across a throttling device. Air flow rates should be measured at an appropriate cross-section of a duct. As air velocity is seldom uniform, it should be measured at an appropriate number of locations in the cross-section and averaged for the mean velocity.
The total air flow rate of a system should preferably be measured within the air handling unit or fan casing with integrated measurement if equipment like inlet nozzles is available.
For air terminal devices, other methods (e.g. bag method, reference pressure methods or funnel measurement) can be applied. The air terminal devices with a low pressure drop should be measured by means of the compensation method or other methods with a non-significant pressure drop. The different measuring methods and devices are described in D.1. 6.4.3 Measurement of the ductwork leakage
The leakage of the ductwork is important for the energy efficiency of the complete air conditioning system. The tightness class according to EN 1507 and EN 12237 shall be checked.
In large and complex air duct systems, the leakage can only be measured in a part of the system. The leakage measurement shall be performed while the duct is being installed and accessible. After start of operation a second tightness test can be necessary, only if an irregularity happens during the start up. (In the case of a malfunction e.g. of fire dampers, the pressure can exceed the allowed pressure and damage the ductwork.) The measuring methods and devices are described in D.8. 6.4.4 Measurement of the indoor air velocity
Indoor air flow is usually a turbulent flow. The air velocity varies from place to place within the room, the variations being random with regard to magnitude and direction. Therefore, an exact measurement of the air velocity is complicated. Generally, it is sufficient to measure the mean air velocity at selected positions (see D.2.1). In rooms up to approximately 20 m² floor area, one measurement position is sufficient. Large rooms (e.g. landscaped offices) should be measured on the similar basis to the foregoing and positions in the occupied zone should be chosen where higher air velocities can be expected. Measurements should preferably be taken at positions intended for intensive occupancy, e.g. at the desk in an office. SIST EN 12599:2013
Air temperature measurements may be required in the room, at the exhaust air terminal device or in the duct. When – due to high or low surface temperatures (windows, cooling/heating panels etc.) – thermal discomfort is suspected, it may be necessary to evaluate the operative temperature (see D.3.1). The measurement of the air temperature is described in D.3. 6.4.6 Measurement of the air humidity
The measurements of the air humidity in the room provide information regarding the humidifying or dehumidifying operation of the system. In general, the relative humidity is measured. To calculate the absolute humidity it is also necessary to measure the air temperature at the same location.
The use of recording instruments is necessary. The recording period shall last for 24 h at least. The measurement of the air humidity is described in D.4. 6.4.7 Measurement of the sound pressure level
The A-weighted sound pressure level shall be determined at places of work. Corresponding conditions within the room are given in CR 1752.
Outside the building, measurements of sound pressure level can be necessary at locations such as property boundaries or 0,5 m in front of a neighbouring open window taking account of any special conditions. In all cases the background sound pressure level shall additionally be recorded when the system is not in operation. The measurement of the sound pressure level is described in D.5. 6.4.8 Measurement of the electrical power of the fan
The electrical power (including auxiliary) consumed is measured either directly by a power meter (watt-meter) or indirectly from the electrical work (kWh-meter) performed by taking the electric meter readings before and after the test for a measured period of time. For three-phase motors the power is determined by the 2-watt-meter method. For single phase motors, the power is determined by the 1-watt-meter method. Specific requirements shall be considered when a frequency converter is being used. The measurement of the electrical power of the fan is described in D.6. 6.4.9 Measurement of the pressure difference at the air filter Check that the filter is properly installed and is seated with no visible leaks.
The measurement of the pressure difference across the air filter is described in D.7. 6.5 Accompanying measurements The following data can be determined and registered if required in order to record the operating conditions during the functional test: outdoor temperature and humidity, hot and cold water temperature at the distributor or at the air heater and air cooler, SIST EN 12599:2013
