General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard specifies the common methodology and the requirements for inspection of air conditioning systems in buildings for space cooling and/or heating and/or ventilation systems from an energy use standpoint. It can be used to fulfil the EPBD requirements (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010/31/EU [9]) as well as in other contexts where such inspections are specified. The methodology specified in this standard deals with indoor climate problems that can be due to the systems inspected.
This standard applies to both residential and non-residential buildings equipped with:
- air conditioning system(s) without mechanical ventilation; or
- air conditioning system(s) with mechanical ventilation; or
- natural and mechanical ventilation system(s).
This standard applies to:
- fixed systems;
- accessible parts that contribute to the cooling and mechanical ventilation services.
This standard is also applicable to some systems for which the Directive does not require inspection, such as:
- fixed systems of less than 12 kW output;
- ventilation-only systems.
The inspection of systems given in this standard is applicable to:
- all types of comfort cooling and air conditioning systems. This includes air conditioning systems of an effective rated output of less than 12 kW not covered by Directive 2010/31/EU;
- all types of ventilation systems that is to say mechanical, natural, hybrid (including mechanical and natural ventilation). Parts of this standard are also applicable to check ventilation requirements when there is no ventilation system.
The inspection of systems includes but is not limited to the following components:
- reverse-cycle operation of air-conditioning equipment;
- associated water and air distribution and exhaust systems that form a necessary part of the system;
- controls that are intended to regulate the use of associated water and air distribution and exhaust systems.

NOTE 1 In CEN ISO/TR 52000 2:2017 [7] 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 may cover more than one module and one module may be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance a simplified and a detailed method respectively. See also Clause 2, Table A.1 and Table B.1.
This standard is not applicable to:
- qualification of the persons or organization in charge of inspections;
- frequency of the mandatory inspection (defined at national level);
- components supporting the heating function (specified in EN 15378-1:2017 [8] and the accompanying technical report CEN/TR 15378-2:2017 [8] covering the inspection of heating-only systems using boilers).
The following information can be found in other standards or technical reports:

Overview
EN 16798-17:2017 - Energy performance of buildings - Ventilation for buildings - Part 17: Guidelines for inspection of ventilation and air conditioning systems (Modules M4-11, M5-11, M6-11, M7-11) is a CEN standard that defines a common methodology and requirements for inspecting ventilation and air‑conditioning systems from an energy‑use and indoor‑climate standpoint. It supports compliance with the EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010/31/EU) and can be used in other regulatory or voluntary inspection schemes.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Applies to residential and non‑residential buildings with air‑conditioning only, air‑conditioning with mechanical ventilation, or natural/mechanical/hybrid ventilation systems. Covers fixed systems and accessible parts contributing to cooling, heating and ventilation services.
- Inspection coverage: All types of comfort cooling, air‑conditioning and ventilation systems - including systems below 12 kW and ventilation‑only systems that may fall outside EPBD mandatory inspection thresholds.
- Inspection methodology:
- Pre‑inspection procedures (document review, system and building characteristics, operation and maintenance status).
- On‑site inspection methods split into two main approaches: Method 1 for ventilation‑only systems and Method 2 for air‑conditioning systems.
- Three inspection levels (1–3) allowing a range from visual/documentary checks (level 1, no measurements) to more detailed, measurement‑based assessments (levels 2–3).
- Components addressed: refrigeration equipment (including reverse‑cycle), pumps, chilled water circuits, outdoor heat rejection devices, terminal units, air and water distribution and exhaust systems, controls and metering, and air filters.
- Deliverables: structured inspection report with findings, recommended improvements and economic justification where appropriate.
- Limitations: Does not set inspector qualification rules or mandatory inspection frequency (these are national responsibilities). Heating‑only components are excluded (see EN 15378‑1).
Practical applications and users
Who uses EN 16798-17:2017:
- National regulators implementing EPBD inspection requirements
- Building owners and facility managers seeking energy and indoor climate assurance
- Inspection bodies and HVAC consultants performing energy inspections
- Energy auditors, commissioning teams and quality‑assurance providers
Practical uses:
- Designing inspection scope and procedures for HVAC audits
- Preparing compliant inspection reports and improvement recommendations
- Assessing energy performance and indoor climate issues related to ventilation and air conditioning
- Integrating inspection outputs into building energy improvement plans
Related standards
