Overview

This standard presents methods to take into account the energy performance of heat generation systems based on local air heaters, radiant heaters and stoves. The calculation is based on the performance characteristics of the products given in product standards and on other characteristics required to evaluate the performance of the products as included in the system. This European Standard is part of a series of standards on the method for calculation of system energy requirements and system efficiencies. The scope of this specific part is to standardize the: - required inputs; - calculation method; - resulting outputs, for space heating generation by: - air heating systems, including control; - overhead radiant heating systems for non-domestic use, including control; and - stoves and local heaters for residential use. This standard does not apply to heating systems that utilize water as a heat transfer medium. In Germany, Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings is implemented primarily through national energy-saving legislation. The national energy-saving legislation refers to dated national and European standards and national pre-standards that have been defined for implementation in Germany. This document (EN 15316-4-8:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 228 "Heating systems and water based cooling systems in buildings" (secretariat: DIN, Germany). Working Committee NA 041-05-01 AA "Energetische Bewertung gebäudetechnischer Anlagen" ("Energy efficiency of technical building systems") SpA ISO/TC 205 "Umweltgerechte Gebäudeplanung") ("Building environment design") is responsible for the German version.
