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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

Introduction
The Kyoto Protocol of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change defines a system for emission
reduction called the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). In order for the industrial furnace
manufacturers industry to address global warming based on the Kyoto Protocol, it is necessary to have
fair guidelines to make use of CDM.
ISO 13579‑1 to ISO 13579‑4 focus on evaluating the overall efficiency of industrial furnaces and
associated processing equipment (TPE) system, including electrical energy consumption as fuel
equivalent energy, to help the industry facilitate implementation of CDM.
However, these documents do not define and specify efficiencies of each specific component of TPE
(e.g. heat recovery equipment, heating chambers, etc.), which are directly related to and available for
energy‑saving measures. With this in mind, this document has been developed to specify and provide
the following information:
— definitions of the various kinds of efficiency of TPE using designation systems and by defining
energy balance boundaries within the TPE based on its elements;
NOTE The definition for TPE efficiency varies according to region.
— evaluation formulae of energy reduction factors, which are available for actual energy conservation
based on the energy balance measurements.
In addition to these evaluations in terms of enthalpy, this document also deals with energy efficiency
based on exergy, i.e. efficiency based on availability of fuel energy, for the following reasons.
— The whole amount of “energy” in the “closed” terrestrial system is preserved due to the conservation
law of energy while “exergy” inherently decreases. The term “energy” related to energy crisis or
energy issue is “exergy”. Therefore, it may be said that controlling the degrees of a decrease in
exergy (or dissipation of available energy) is the essence of the energy crisis. As such, exergy is one
of the indexes to evaluate the energy efficiency of TPE.
— It enables a fair comparison among heating furnaces with different heating conditions or heated
materials as a result of a common thermodynamic viewpoint.
— Improvement in exergy efficiency leads to essential efficiency‑enhancing measures in energy usage.
