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 11855-5 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 and control of embedded radiant heating and cooling systems:
1)
— Part 1: Definition, symbols, and comfort criteria
— Part 2: Determination of the design 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 1 of this International Standard defines 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. In Part 2, steady-state calculation methods for
determination of the heating and cooling capacity are provided. Part 3 specifies the design and dimensioning
method 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,
since radiant heating and cooling systems can reduce energy consumption and heat source size by using
renewable energy. Part 5 describes the installation process for the system to operate as intended. Finally,
Part 6 describes a proper control method for 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.

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 11855-5 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 and control of embedded radiant heating and cooling systems:
1)
— Part 1: Definition, symbols, and comfort criteria
— Part 2: Determination of the design 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 1 of this International Standard defines 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. In Part 2, steady-state calculation methods for
determination of the heating and cooling capacity are provided. Part 3 specifies the design and dimensioning
method 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,
since radiant heating and cooling systems can reduce energy consumption and heat source size by using
renewable energy. Part 5 describes the installation process for the system to operate as intended. Finally,
Part 6 describes a proper control method for 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.
1) Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are to be published.

Part 5:
Installation
1 Scope
This part of ISO 11855 establishes guidelines on the installation of embedded radiant heating and cooling
systems. It specifies uniform requirements for the design and construction of heating and cooling floors, ceiling
and wall structures to ensure that the heating/cooling systems are suited to the particular application. The
requirements specified by this part of ISO 11855 are applicable only to the components of the heating/cooling
systems and the elements which are part of the heating/cooling surface and which are installed due to the
heating/cooling systems.
This part of ISO 11855 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, but are not applicable to panel systems with open-air gaps
which are not integrated into the building structure.

When installing the insulating layer, the insulating panels shall be butted tightly together. Multiple insulating
layers shall be staggered or placed in such a way that the joints between panels of one layer are out of line
with the next layer.
NOTE National building codes may require higher insulation levels.
5.1.2.2.2 Peripheral insulating strip
Before laying the screed, a peripheral insulating strip (edge joint) shall be placed along the walls and other building
components penetrating the screed and rfi mly secured to the supporting base (e.g. door frames, pillars and risers).
The peripheral insulating strip shall rise from the supporting base up to the surface of the finished floor and
permit a movement of the screed of at least 5 mm.
In the case of multiple insulating layers, the peripheral insulating strip shall be placed before application of
the upper insulating layer. When laying the screed, the peripheral insulating strip shall be secured against any
change in position. The top part of the peripheral insulating strip which rises over the finished floor shall not be
cut off until completion of the floor covering and, in the case of textile and plastic coverings, hardening of the filler.
