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.
Heizungsanlagen in Gebäuden - Verfahren zur Berechnung der Energieanforderungen und Nutzungsgrade der Anlagen - Teil 1: Allgemeines
Diese Norm legt die Struktur für die Berechnung des Energiebedarfs von Raumheizungsanlagen und Trinkwarmwasseranlagen in Gebäuden fest. Sie normt die für die Berechnungen erforderlichen Eingangs- und Ausgangsgrößen mit dem Ziel, ein einheitliches europäisches Berechnungsverfahren zu erarbeiten.
Das Berechnungsverfahren erleichtert die energietechnische Analyse der verschiedenen Anlagenteile der Heizungsanlagen, einschließlich der Regelung (Wärmeübergabe, verteilung, speicherung, erzeugung) durch Bestimmung der Energieverluste und der Energieeffizienz der betrachteten Anlagen. Diese Analyse ermöglicht es, die betreffenden Anlagenteile miteinander zu vergleichen und die Auswirkungen jedes einzelnen Anlagenteils auf die Gesamtenergieeffizienz des Gebäudes zu überwachen.
Die Berechnungen der Energieverluste jedes Anlagenteils der Heizanlage sind in den folgenden Normen festgelegt (prEN 15316, Teil 2 x, 3 x und 4 x). Die Wärmeverluste, die rückgewinnbaren Wärmeverluste und die Hilfsenergie der Anlagenteile der Heizanlage werden zusammengefasst. Die Wärmeverluste der Heizanlage tragen zum Gesamtenergiebedarf in Gebäuden bei (prEN 15603).
Diese Norm umfasst keine Lüftungsanlagen (z. B. ausgeglichene Anlagen mit Wärmerückgewinnung); wird die Luft jedoch vorgewärmt oder ist ein Luftheizsystem eingebaut, so werden die Energieverluste dieser Anlagen von der vorliegenden Norm abgedeckt.
Systèmes de chauffage des bâtiments - Méthode de calcul des exigences énergétiques et des rendements de systèmes - 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.
