@ IS0 IS0 6946: 1996(E) Foreword IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide fed- eration of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be rep- resented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 col- laborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are cir- culated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard IS0 6946 was prepared by the European Commit- tee for Standardization (CEN) in collaboration with ISOK 163, Thermal in- sulation, Subcommittee SC 2, Cakulation methods, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between IS0 and CEN (Vienna Agreement). This first edition cancels and replaces IS0 6946-l :I 986. IS0 6946-2:1986 was withdrawn in 1995. Annexes A, B, C and D form an integral part of this International Standard. Annex E is for information only. SIST EN ISO 6946:1997

IS0 6946: 1996(E) 0 IS0 Introduction The thermal transmittance calculated according to this standard is suitable for determining heat flow through building components that are within the scope of this standard. For most purposes heat flows can be calculated with the following tem- peratures: - internal: dry resultant temperature; external: air temperature. SIST EN ISO 6946:1997

@ IS0 Scope IS0 6946: 1996(E) This standard gives the method of calculation of the thermal resistance and thermal transmittance of building components and building elements, excluding doors, windows and other glazed units, components which involve heat transfer to the ground, and components through which air is designed to permeate. The calculation method is based on the appropriate design thermal conductivities or design thermal resistances of the materials and products involved. The method applies to components and elements consisting of thermally homogeneous layers (which can include air layers). The standard also gives an approximate method that can be used for inhomogeneous layers, except cases where an insulating layer is bridged by metal. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below.

@ IS0 IS0 6946:1996(E) 4 Principles The principle of the calculation method is to: a) obtain the thermal resistance of each thermally homogeneous part of the component; W combine these individual resistances so as to obtain the total thermal including (where appropriate) the effect of surface resistances. resistance of the component, Thermal resistances of individual parts are obtained according to 5.1. The values of surface resistance given in 5.2 are appropriate in most cases. Annex A gives detailed procedures for low-emissivity surfaces, specific external wind speeds, and non-planar surfaces. Air layers may be regarded as thermally homogeneous for the purposes of this standard. Values of the thermal resistance of large air layers with high-emissivity surfaces are given in 5.3, and annex B gives procedures for other cases. The resistances of the layers are combined as follows: a) for components consisting of thermally homogeneous layers, obtain the total according to 6.1 and the thermal transmittance according to clause 7; thermal resistance b) for components having one or more thermally inhomogeneous layers, obtain the total thermal resistance according to 6.2 and the thermal transmittance according to clause 7; c) for components containing a tapered layer, thermal resistance according to annex C. obtain the thermal transmittance and/or the total Finally, corrections are applied to the thermal transmittance if appropriate according to annex D, to allow for the effects of air gaps in insulation, mechanical fasteners penetrating an insulation layer, and precipitation on inverted roofs. The thermal transmittance so calculated applies between the environments on either side of the component concerned, for example internal and external environments, two internal environments in the case of an internal partition, internal environment and an unheated space. Simplified procedures are given in 5.4 for treating an unheated space as a thermal resistance. SIST EN ISO 6946:1997

IS0 6946:1996(E) 5 Thermal resistances 51 . Thermal resistance of homogeneous layers Design thermal values can be given as either design thermal conductivity or design thermal resistance. If thermal conductivity is given, obtain the thermal resistance of the layer from: R d =- h where d a is the thickness of the material layer in the component; is the design thermal conductivity of the material, either calculated according to ISO/DIS 10456.2 or obtained from tabulated values. NOTE - The thickness d may be different from the nominal thickness (e.g. when a compressible product is installed in a compressed state, d is less than the nominal thickness). If relevant, d should also make appropriate allowance for thickness tolerances (e.g. when they are negative). Thermal resistance values used in intermediate calculations shall be calculated to at least 3 decimal places. 5.2 Surface resistances Use the values in table 1 for plane surfaces in the absence of specific information on the boundary conditions. The values under “horizontal” apply to heat flow directions 230” from the horizontal plane. For non-planar surfaces or for specific boundary conditions use the procedures in annex A. Table 1 - Surface resistances (in m2XAA/) Direction of heat flow R si R se Upwards 0,lO 0,04 Horizontal 0,13 0,04 I Downwards 0,17 0,04 NOTE - The values in table 1 are design values. For the purposes of declaration of the thermal transmittance of components and other cases where values independent of heat flow direction are required, it is recommended that the values for horizontal heat flow are used. 4 SIST EN ISO 6946:1997

@ IS0 IS0 6946: 1996(E) 5.3 Thermal resistance of air layers The values given in this subclause apply to an air layer which: - is bounded by two faces which are effectively parallel and perpendicular to the direction of heat flow and which have emissivities not less than 0,8; - has a thickness (in the direction of heat flow) of less than 0,l times each one of the other two dimensions, and not greater than 0,3 m; NOTE - A single thermal transmittance should not be calculated for components containing air layers thicker than 0,3 m. Rather, heat flows should be calculated by performing a heat balance (see ISO/DIS 13789, Thermal performance of buildings - Transmission heat loss coefficient - Calculation method). - has no air interchange with the internal environment. If the above conditions do not apply, use the procedures in annex B. 5.3.1 Unventilated air layer An unventilated air layer is one in which there is no express provision for air flow through it. Design values of thermal resistance are given in table 2. The values under “horizontal” apply to heat flow directions *30° from the horizontal plane.
