Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International

Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.

Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies

casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 11855-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 205, Building environment design.

ISO 11855 consists of the following parts, under the general title Building environment design —

Design, dimensioning, installation, control and input parameters for the energy calculation of embedded

radiant heating and cooling systems:
— Part 1: Definitions, symbols, and comfort criteria
— Part 2: Determination of the design and heating and cooling capacity
— Part 3: Design and dimensioning

— Part 4: Dimensioning and calculation of the dynamic heating and cooling capacity of Thermo Active

Building Systems (TABS)
— Part 5: Installation
— Part 6: Control
— Part 7: Input parameters for the energy calculation

Part 1 specifies the comfort criteria which should be considered in designing embedded radiant heating

and cooling systems, since the main objective of the radiant heating and cooling system is to satisfy

thermal comfort of the occupants. Part 2 provides steady-state calculation methods for determination

of the heating and cooling capacity. Part 3 specifies design and dimensioning methods of radiant

heating and cooling systems to ensure the heating and cooling capacity. Part 4 provides a dimensioning

and calculation method to design Thermo Active Building Systems (TABS) for energy-saving purposes,

since radiant heating and cooling systems can reduce energy consumption and heat source size by using

renewable energy. Part 5 addresses the installation process for the system to operate as intended. Part

6 shows a proper control method of the radiant heating and cooling systems to ensure the maximum

performance which was intended in the design stage when the system is actually being operated in a

building. Part 7 presents a calculation method for input parameters to ISO 52031.

Introduction

The radiant heating and cooling system consists of heat emitting/absorbing, heat supply, distribution,

and control systems. The ISO 11855 series deals with the embedded surface heating and cooling system

that directly controls heat exchange within the space. It does not include the system equipment itself,

such as heat source, distribution system and controller.

The ISO 11855 series addresses an embedded system that is integrated with the building structure.

Therefore, the panel system with open air gap, which is not integrated with the building structure, is

not covered by this series.

The ISO 11855 series shall be applied to systems using not only water but also other fluids or electricity

as a heating or cooling medium.

The object of the ISO 11855 series is to provide criteria to effectively design embedded systems. To do

this, it presents comfort criteria for the space served by embedded systems, heat output calculation,

dimensioning, dynamic analysis, installation, control method of embedded systems, and input

parameters for the energy calculations.

Building environment design — Embedded radiant heating
and cooling systems —
Part 1:
Definitions, symbols, and comfort criteria
1 Scope

This part of ISO 11855 specifies the basic definitions, symbols, and comfort criteria for embedded

radiant heating and cooling systems.

The ISO 11855 series is applicable to water based embedded surface heating and cooling systems in

residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The methods apply to systems integrated into the

wall, floor or ceiling construction without any open air gaps. It does not apply to panel systems with

open air gaps which are not integrated into the building structure.

The ISO 11855 series also applies, as appropriate, to the use of fluids other than water as a heating or

cooling medium. The ISO 11855 series is not applicable for testing of systems. The methods do not apply

to heated or chilled ceiling panels or beams.

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
