European foreword

This document (prEN 12098-1:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 247 “Building

Automation, Controls and Building Management”, the secretariat of which is held by SNV.

This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12098-1:2017 and EN 12098-5:2017.

In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:

— respecting the presentation of this project in the frame of EPB in accordance with the drafting rules;

— Clause 6.7 “Switching times” and Table 2 introducing networked clocks improvements in line with

EN 12098-5 modifications have been updated. Consequently, EN 12098-5 becomes obsolete.

This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European

Commission and the European Free Trade Association.

This document is part of the set of standards on the energy performance of buildings (the set of EPB

standards).

In case this document is used in the context of national or regional legal requirements, mandatory choices

could be given at national or regional level for such specific applications, in particular for the application

within the context of EU Directives transposed into national legal requirements.

Further target groups are users of the voluntary common European Union certification scheme for the

energy performance of non-residential buildings (EPBD art. 11.9) and any other regional (e.g. Pan

European) parties wanting to motivate their assumptions by classifying the building energy performance

for a dedicated building stock.

Introduction

This document is part of a series of standards aiming at international harmonization of the methodology

for the assessment of the energy performance of buildings, called the “EPB set of standards”.

As part of the “EPB set of standards” it complies with the requirements for the set of basic EPB documents

EN ISO 52000-1 (see Clause 2), CEN/TS 16628 and CEN/TS 16629 (see [2] and [3]) developed under a

mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association (M/480

[11]).

The standards issued by TC 247 for M/480 belong to the EPB set of standards and are in line with the

over-arching standard (EN ISO 52000-1) and drafted in accordance with the basic principles and detailed

technical rules developed in the Phase I of the mandate.

Also these standards are clearly identified in the modular structure developed to ensure a transparent

and coherent EPB standard set. BAC (Building Automation and Control) is identified in the modular

structure as Technical Building System M10. However, the standards of TC 247 deal with control

accuracy, control functions and control strategies using standards communications protocol (these last

standards do not belong to the EPB standards set).

To avoid a duplication of calculation due to the BAC (avoid double impact), no calculations are done in

the BAC EPB standard set, but in each underlying standard of the EPB set of standards (from M1 to M9 in

the Modular Structure), an IDENTIFIER developed and present in the M10 covered by

is used where appropriate. This way of interaction is described in detail in the

EN ISO 52120-1:—

Technical Report (CEN ISO/TR 52000-2) accompanying the over-arching standard. As a consequence, the

Annex A and Annex B concept as EXCEL sheet with the calculation formulas used in the EPB standards

are not applicable for the standards issued by TC 247 for M/480.

The main target groups of this document are all the users of the set of EPB standards (e.g. architects,

engineers, regulators).

Further target groups are parties wanting to motivate their assumptions by classifying the building

energy performance for a dedicated building stock.
More information is provided in the Technical Report accompanying this document
(CEN/TR 12098-6:— , [5]).

1 Scope

This document applies to electronic control equipment for heating systems with water as the heating

medium and a supply water temperature up to 120 °C.

This control equipment controls the distribution and/or the generation of heat in relation to the outside

temperature and time and other reference variables.

This document covers also controllers that contain an integrated optimum start or an optimum start-stop

control function.
Safety requirements on heating systems remain unaffected by this document.

The dynamic behaviour of the valves and actuators are not covered in this document.

A multi-distribution and/or multi-generation system needs a coordinated solution to prevent undesired

interaction and is not part of this document.

Table 1 shows the relative position of this document within the set of EPB standards in the context of the

modular structure as set out in EN ISO 52000-1.

NOTE 1 In CEN ISO/TR 52000-2 the same table can be found, with, for each module, the numbers of the relevant

EPB standards and accompanying Technical Reports that are published or in preparation.

NOTE 2 The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard can cover more than one module and

one module can be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance a simplified and a detailed method,

respectively.
