Energieeffizienz von Gebäuden - Automation von HLK-Anwendungen - Teil 1: Elektronische Regel- und Steuereinrichtungen für einzelne Räume oder Zonen - Module M3-5, M4-5, M5-5; Deutsche Fassung EN 15500-1:2017
Overview
The purpose of this standard is to specify the applications, functionality set and application performance for electronic individual zone control equipment. The applications are for cooling and hot water or electrical heating as described in Annex B. This standard applies specifically to individual zone control equipment for maintaining temperature, humidity and air flow as a function of occupancy and demand operated with auxiliary electrical energy. Information required for the operation of the equipment may be processed using either analogue or digital techniques or a combination of both. Safety requirements remain unaffected by this standard. The purpose of this European Standard is to specify the applications, functionality set and application performance for electronic individual zone control equipment. The applications are for cooling and hot water or electrical heating. This European Standard applies specifically to individual zone control equipment for maintaining temperature, humidity and air flow as a function of occupancy and demand operated with auxiliary electrical energy. Information required for the operation of the equipment may be processed using either analogue or digital techniques or a combination of both. Safety requirements remain unaffected by this European Standard. This European Standard refers to the input and output requirements of the controller and not of the input and output devices as, for example, sensors and actuators. This European Standard covers fixed-function configurable and programmable controllers. The control equipment may or may not be connected to a data-network however communications aspects are not covered by this standard. These devices could be applied for any kind of building, intermittent or non-intermittent occupation, residential or non-residential. This document (En 15500-1:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 247 "Building Automation, Controls and Building Management", the secretariat of which is held by SNV (Switzerland). The responsible national standardization committee is Working Committee NA 041-03-65 AA "Gebäudeautomation: Produkte, Systeme und Kommunikation (SpA CEN/TC 247 und ISO/TC 205/WG 3)" ("Building automation: Products, systems and communication (Mirror committee CEN/TC 247 and ISO/TC 205/WG 3)" at DIN Standards Committee Heating and Ventilation Technology and their Safety (NHRS).
