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 13792 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 163, Thermal performance and energy use in the
built environment, Subcommittee SC 2, Calculation methods.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13792:2005), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are given in the following table.

ISO 13792:2012(E)
Introduction
Knowledge of the internal temperature of a room in warm periods is needed for several purposes, such as:
a) defining the characteristics of a room at the design stage, in order to prevent or limit overheating in
summer;
b) assessing the need for a cooling installation.
The internal temperature is influenced by many parameters such as climatic data, envelope characteristics,
ventilation and internal gains. The internal temperature of a room in warm periods can be determined using
detailed calculation methods. ISO 13791 lays down the assumptions and the criteria to be satisfied for
assessment of internal conditions in the summer with no mechanical cooling. However, for a number of
applications, the calculation methods based on ISO 13791 are too detailed. Simplified methods are derived
from more or less the same description of the heat transfer processes in a building. Each calculation method
has its own simplification, assumptions, fixed values, special boundary conditions and validity area.
A simplified method can be implemented in many ways. In general, the maximum allowed simplification of the
calculation method and the input data is determined by the required amount and accuracy of the output data.
This International Standard defines the level, the amount and the accuracy of the output data and the allowed
simplification of the input data.
No particular calculation methods are included in the normative part of this International Standard. As
examples, two calculation methods are given in Annex A. They are based on the simplification of the heat
transfer processes that guarantees the amount and the accuracy of the output data and the simplification of
the input data required by this International Standard.
The use of these simplified calculation methods does not imply that other calculation methods are excluded
from standardization, nor does it hamper future developments. Clause 6 gives the criteria to be satisfied in
order for a method to comply with this International Standard.

4 Input data and results
4.1 Assumptions
For the scope of this International Standard the following basic assumptions are made:
 the room is considered a closed space delimited by enclosure elements;
 the air temperature is uniform throughout the room;
 the various surfaces of the enclosure elements are isothermal;
 the thermophysical properties of the material composing the enclosure elements are constant;
 the heat conduction through each enclosure element is one dimensional;
 air spaces within the envelope elements are considered as air layers bounded by two isothermal
surfaces;
 the mean radiant temperature is calculated as an area-weighted average of the radiant temperature at
each internal surface;
 the operative temperature is calculated as the arithmetic mean value of the internal air temperature and
the mean radiant temperature;
 the distribution of the solar radiation on the internal surfaces of the room is time-independent;
 the spatial distribution of the radiative part of the heat flow due to internal sources is uniform;
 the long-wave radiative and the convective heat transfers at each internal surface are treated separately;
 the dimensions of each component are measured at the internal side of the enclosure element;
 the effects of the thermal bridges on heat transfers are neglected.
4.2 Boundary conditions and input data
4.2.1 Boundary conditions
4.2.1.1 General
The elements of the envelope are divided into:
 external elements: these include the elements separating the internal environment from the outside and
from other zones (i.e. attic, ground, crawl space);
 internal elements: these include the elements (vertical and horizontal) separating the internal environment
from other rooms which can be considered to have the same thermal conditions.
4.2.1.2 External elements
External elements are those separating the room from the external environment and from zones at different
thermal conditions (e.g. attic, ground, crawl space).
6 © ISO 2012 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 18 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 13792:2012
ISO 13792:2012(E)
Boundary conditions consist of defined hourly values of:
 external air temperature;
 intensity of the solar radiation on each orientation;
 sky radiant temperature;
 air temperature for the adjacent zones which cannot be considered at the same thermal conditions as the
examined room.
For elements in contact with the ground the external temperature is assumed to be the mean monthly value of
the external air temperature.
4.2.1.3 Internal elements
Internal elements are those separating the room from other rooms which can be considered to have the same
thermal conditions.
Internal elements are assumed to be adiabatic, which means that the values of the following quantities are
considered to be the same on either side of the element:
 the air temperature;
 the mean radiant temperature;
 the solar radiation absorbed by the surface.
4.2.2 Heat transfer coefficients
For the purposes of this International Standard the following values shall be used:
2
 internal convective heat transfer coefficient h = 2,5 W/(m ·K);
ci
2
 internal long-wave radiative heat transfer coefficient h = 5,5 W/(m ·K);

 external convective heat transfer coefficient h = 8,0 W/(m ·K);
