Overview
This European Standard defines a method for the performance assessment of building-integrated cogeneration units by the calculation of the electricity production, useful heat output and recoverable losses. Such units are commonly known as micro or small scale cogeneration, or micro or small scale CHP. This standard deals with heat generators for heating or for combined domestic hot water and heating services. The calculation is based on the performance characteristics of the units, defined in product standards, and on operation conditions such the needed heat output. This document is the result of the revision of EN 15316-4-4:2007. This document (EN 15316-4-4:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 228 "Heating systems in buildings" (secretariat: DIN, Germany). Working Committee NA 041-05-01 AA "Energetische Bewertung heiz- und raumluft-technischer Anlagen" (SpA ISO/TC 205 "Umweltgerechte Gebäudeplanung") ("Energy performance of heating and ventilation systems in buildings (Mirror Committee of ISO/TC 205 "Building environment design")") at DIN Standards Committee Heating and Ventilation Technology and their Safety (NHRS) of the German Institute for Standardization e. V. is responsible for the German version.
