European foreword
This document (EN 15316-5:2025) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 228 “Heating
systems and water based cooling systems in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
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text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2026, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn
at the latest by March 2026.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 15316-5:2017.
The main changes compared to EN 15316-5:2017 are:
1) inclusion of simultaneous heating of the storage;
2) inclusion of arbitrary layer volume selection;
3) inclusion of additional heat losses due to the pipe internal circulation in storage connections;
4) calculation procedure for method A and B have been reviewed and several changes implemented;
5) Annex A contains a template for the data and parameters used in the standards and Annex B a set of
default values. Default values given in Annex B may be overridden by a national annex;
6) the previous Annexes C and D have been withdrawn;
7) inclusion of calculation approach for solving the re-arranging the layer temperatures in method A in
determined number of steps.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
