EN 15377-1:2008 (E) 4 Foreword This document (EN 15377-1:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 228 “Heating systems in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by DS. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2008. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The subjects covered by CEN/TC 228 are the following:  design of heating systems (water based, electrical, etc.);  installation of heating systems;  commissioning of heating systems;  instructions for operation, maintenance and use of heating systems;  methods for calculation of the design heat loss and heat loads;  methods for calculation of the energy performance of heating systems;  methods for design and dimensioning of embedded water based surface heating and cooling systems. Heating systems also include the effect of attached systems such as hot water production systems. All these standards are systems standards, i.e. they are based on requirements addressed to the system as a whole and not dealing with requirements to the products within the system. Where possible, reference is made to other European or International Standards, a.o. product standards. However, use of products complying with relevant product standards is no guarantee of compliance with the system requirements. The requirements are mainly expressed as functional requirements, i.e. requirements dealing with the function of the system and not specifying shape, material, dimensions or the like. The guidelines describe ways to meet the requirements, but other ways to fulfil the functional requirements might be used if fulfilment can be proved. Heating systems differ among the member countries due to climate, traditions and national regulations. In some cases requirements are given as classes so national or individual needs may be accommodated. In cases where the standards contradict with national regulations, the latter should be followed.

EN 15377-1:2008 (E) 5  Part 2: Design, dimensioning and installation;  Part 3: Optimizing for use of renewable energy sources. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

EN 15377-1:2008 (E) 6 Introduction The determination of thermal performance of water based surface heating and cooling systems and their conformity to this standard is carried out by calculation in accordance with design documents and a model. In the case of special constructions and if necessary, the determination of thermal performance by calculation is combined with a test method according to EN 1264. This standard specifies procedures and conditions to enable the heat flow in water based surface heating and cooling systems to be determined relative to the medium differential temperature for systems. This should enable a uniform assessment and calculation of water based surface heating and cooling systems. The surface temperature and the temperature uniformity of the heated/cooled surface, nominal heat flow intensity between water and space, the associated nominal medium differential temperature and the field of characteristic curves for the relationship between heat flow intensity and the determining variables are given as the result. This standard includes several methods like general Finite Difference or Finite Element Methods, simplified calculation methods depending on position of pipes and type of building structure. The simplified calculation methods are specific for the type of system. For systems which are calculable in accordance with EN 1264, the standard refers to EN 1264-2 and -5. The simplified methods include certain boundary conditions which need to be met before the given method is applied. SIST EN 15377-1:2008



EN 15377-1:2008 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard is applicable to water based surface heating and cooling systems in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.

EN 15377-1:2008 (E) 14 5 Concept of the method to determine the heating and cooling capacity A given type of surface (floor, wall, ceiling) delivers, at a given average surface temperature and indoor temperature (operative temperature θi), the same heat flow intensity in any space independent of the type of embedded system. It is therefore possible to establish a basic formula or characteristic curve for cooling and a basic formula or characteristic curve for heating, for each of the type of surfaces (floor, wall, ceiling), independent of the type of embedded system, which is applicable to all heating and cooling surfaces (see Clause 6). Two methods are included in this European Standard:  simplified calculation methods and a reference to EN 1264 depending on the type of system (see
Clause 7);  Finite Element Method and Finite Difference Method (see Clause 8). Different simplified calculation methods are included in Clause 7 for calculation of the surface temperature (average, maximum and minimum temperature) depending on the system construction (type of pipe, pipe diameter, pipe distance, mounting of pipe, heat conducting devices, distribution layer) and construction of the floor/wall/ceiling (covering, insulation layer, trapped air layer etc.). The simplified calculation methods are specific for the given type of system, and the boundary conditions listed in Clause 7 shall be met. In the calculation report, it shall be clearly stated which calculation method has been applied. In case a simplified calculation method is not available for a given type of system, either a basic calculation using two or three dimensional Finite Element or Finite Difference Method may be applied (see Clause 8 and Annex D), or a laboratory testing in combination with a calculation may be applied according to EN 1264. Based on the calculated average surface temperature at given combinations of medium (water) temperature and space temperature, it is possible to determine the steady state heating and cooling capacity (see
Clause 10). If proved certificated values for the specific thermal output shall be used, generally EN 1264-2 and/or -5 applies. 6 Heat exchange coefficient between surface and space The relationship between heat flow intensity and mean surface temperature difference (see Figure 1 and Equations (3) to (6)) depends on the type of surface (floor, wall, ceiling) and whether the temperature of the surface is lower (cooling) or higher (heating) than the space temperature.
