Energy performance of buildings — Energy requirements and efficiencies of heating, cooling and domestic hot water (DHW) distribution systems — Part 1: Calculation procedures

This document specifies the energy performance calculation of water-based distribution systems for space heating, space cooling and domestic hot water (DHW). This document is applicable to the heat flux from the distributed water to the space and the auxiliary energy of the related pumps. The heat flux and the auxiliary energy for pumps can be calculated for any time interval (hour, month and year). The input and output data are mean values of the time interval. Instead of calculating the energy performance of water-based distribution systems, it is also possible to use measurements as long as they follow the time intervals of the whole performance calculation or can be divided into those time intervals.

Introduction
This document belongs to the family of International Standards aimed at the international
harmonization of the methodology for assessing the energy performance of buildings. Throughout, this
group of standards is referred to as a “set of EPB standards”.
All EPB standards follow specific rules to ensure overall consistency, unambiguity and transparency.
All EPB standards provide a certain flexibility with regard to the methods, the required input data and
references to other EPB standards. For the correct use of this document a template is given in Annex A
to specify these choices. Default choices are provided in Annex B.
The main target groups of this document are all the users of the set of EPB set of 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 ISO/TR 52032-2 and in CEN/TR 15316-6-3 .
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 ISO 52000-1.
NOTE 1 In 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, e.g. a simplified and a detailed method
respectively. See also Clause 2 and Tables A.1 and B.1.

1 Scope
This document specifies the energy performance calculation of water-based distribution systems for
space heating, space cooling and domestic hot water (DHW).
This document is applicable to the heat flux from the distributed water to the space and the auxiliary
energy of the related pumps.
The heat flux and the auxiliary energy for pumps can be calculated for any time interval (hour, month
and year). The input and output data are mean values of the time interval.
Instead of calculating the energy performance of water-based distribution systems, it is also possible to
use measurements as long as they follow the time intervals of the whole performance calculation or can
be divided into those time intervals.

6.4 Calculation procedure
6.4.1 Applicable time interval
The procedure can be used with the following time intervals:
— hourly;
— monthly;
— yearly.
The bin-method can also be used because in this method only identical time intervals are summarized.
No dynamic effects are taken into account because there are no significant time constants.
This procedure is not suitable for dynamic simulations.
6.4.2 Operating conditions calculation
6.4.3 Heat loss calculation
6.4.3.1 General
The heat loss calculation of a distribution system is based on the mean water supply temperature, the

Introduction
This document belongs to the family of International Standards aimed at the international
harmonization of the methodology for assessing the energy performance of buildings. Throughout, this
group of standards is referred to as a “set of EPB standards”.
All EPB standards follow specific rules to ensure overall consistency, unambiguity and transparency.
All EPB standards provide a certain flexibility with regard to the methods, the required input data and
references to other EPB standards. For the correct use of this document a template is given in Annex A
to specify these choices. Default choices are provided in Annex B.
The main target groups of this document are all the users of the set of EPB set of 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.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 52032-1:2021(E)
Energy performance of buildings — Energy requirements
and efficiencies of heating, cooling and domestic hot water
(DHW) distribution systems —
Part 1:
Calculation procedures
1 Scope
This document specifies the energy performance calculation of water-based distribution systems for
space heating, space cooling and domestic hot water (DHW).
This document is applicable to the heat flux from the distributed water to the space and the auxiliary
energy of the related pumps.
The heat flux and the auxiliary energy for pumps can be calculated for any time interval (hour, month
and year). The input and output data are mean values of the time interval.
Instead of calculating the energy performance of water-based distribution systems, it is also possible to
use measurements as long as they follow the time intervals of the whole performance calculation or can
be divided into those time intervals.

6.4 Calculation procedure
6.4.1 Applicable time interval
The procedure can be used with the following time intervals:
— hourly;
— monthly;
— yearly.
The bin-method can also be used because in this method only identical time intervals are summarized.
No dynamic effects are taken into account because there are no significant time constants.
This procedure is not suitable for dynamic simulations.
6.4.2 Operating conditions calculation
6.4.3 Heat loss calculation
6.4.3.1 General
The heat loss calculation of a distribution system is based on the mean water supply temperature, the
