Water based surface embedded heating and cooling systems - Part 2: Floor heating: Methods for the determination of the thermal output using calculations and experimental tests

This European Standard specifies the boundary conditions and the prove methods for the determination of the thermal output of hot water floor heating systems as a function of the temperature difference between the heating medium and the room temperature.
This standard shall be applied to commercial trade and practical engineering if proved and certifiable values of the thermal output shall be used.
This European Standard applies to heating and cooling systems embedded into the enclosure surfaces of the room to be heated or to be cooled. This Part of this European Standard applies to hot water floor heating systems. Applying of Part 5 of this European Standard requires the prior use of this Part of this European Standard. Part 5 of this European Standard deals with the conversion of the thermal output of floor heating systems determined in Part 2 into the thermal output of heating surfaces embedded in walls and ceilings as well as into the thermal output of cooling surfaces embedded in floors, walls and ceilings.
The thermal output is proved by a calculation method (Clause 6) and by a test method (Clause 9). The calculation method is applicable to systems corresponding to the definitions in EN 1264 1 (type A, type B, type C, type D). For systems not corresponding to these definitions, the test method shall be used. The calculation method and the test method are consistent with each other and provide correlating and adequate prove results.
The prove results, expressed depending on further parameters, are the standard specific thermal output and the associated standard temperature difference between the heating medium and the room temperature as well as fields of characteristic curves showing the relationship between the specific thermal output and the temperature difference between the heating medium and the room.

Raumflächenintegrierte Heiz- und Kühlsysteme mit Wasserdurchströmung - Teil 2: Fußbodenheizung: Prüfverfahren für die Bestimmung der Wärmeleistung unter Benutzung von Berechnungsmethoden und experimentellen Methoden

EN 1264 gibt Leitlinien für in Wohn- und anderen Gebäuden (z. B. Bürogebäuden, öffentlichen Gebäuden sowie Gewerbe- und Industriegebäuden) installierte raumflächenintegrierte Heiz- und Kühlsysteme und legt einen Schwerpunkt auf Systeme, die für den Zweck der thermischen Behaglichkeit installiert werden.
Die Normenreihe EN 1264 gibt Leitlinien für Heiz- und Kühlsysteme mit Wasserdurchströmung, die in die Raum¬umschließungsflächen des zu heizenden oder des zu kühlenden Raumes eingebettet sind. Sie legt ggf. auch die entsprechende Verwendung anderer Heizmittel als Wasser fest.
Die Normenreihe EN 1264 legt die Identifizierung standardisierter Produktmerkmale durch Berechnung und Prüfung der Wärmeleistung der Heizung für technische Spezifikationen und die Zertifizierung fest. Für das Design, den Bau und den Betrieb dieser Anlagen siehe EN 1264 3 und EN 1264 4 für die Typen A, B, C, D, H, I und J. Für die Typen E, F und G siehe Normenreihe EN ISO 11855.
Die in der Normenreihe EN 1264 festgelegten Systeme grenzen an den tragenden Untergrund der Umschließungsflächen des Gebäudes an und werden direkt oder mit Befestigungshalterungen angebracht. Die Normenreihe EN 1264 trifft keine Festlegungen für in abgehängten Decken montierte Deckensysteme mit einem auslegungsgemäßen offenen Luftspalt zwischen dem System und der Gebäudestruktur, der eine thermisch induzierte Umwälzung der Luft erlaubt. Die Wärmeleistung dieser Systeme kann nach der Normenreihe EN 14037 und EN 14240 bestimmt werden.
EN 1264 2 legt Warmwasser-Fußbodenheizsysteme fest. Die Anwendung von EN 1264 5 erfordert die vorherige Anwendung von EN 1264 2. EN 1264 5 legt die Umrechnung der in EN 1264 2 bestimmten Wärmeleistung der Fußbodenheizsysteme in die Wärmeleistung von Heizflächen in Wänden und Decken sowie in die Kühlleistung von Kühlflächen in Fußböden, Wänden und Decken fest.
EN 1264 2 legt die Randbedingungen und die Prüfverfahren für die Bestimmung der Wärmeleistung von Warmwasser-Fußbodenheizsystemen in Abhängigkeit von der Differenz zwischen der Heizmittel- und der Raumtemperatur fest.
Die Wärmeleistung wird durch ein Berechnungsverfahren und ein Messverfahren geprüft. Das Berechnungsverfahren ist auf Systeme anwendbar, die den Definitionen nach EN 1264 1 (Typ A, B, C, D, H, I und J) entsprechen. Bei Systemen, die diesen Definitionen nicht entsprechen, gibt das Messverfahren Leitlinien. Das Berechnungsverfahren und das Messverfahren entsprechen einander und liefern korrelierende, adäquate Prüfergebnisse.
Als Prüfergebnisse werden die spezifische Norm-Wärmeleistung mit der zugehörigen Norm-Differenz zwischen der Heizmittel- und der Raumtemperatur sowie Kennlinienfelder für die Beziehung zwischen der spezifischen Wärmeleistung und der Differenz zwischen der Heizmittel- und der Raumtemperatur in Abhängigkeit von weiteren Parametern angegeben.

Systèmes de surfaces chauffantes et rafraîchissantes hydrauliques intégrées - Partie 2: Chauffage par le sol: Méthodes de démonstration pour la détermination de l'émission thermique utilisant des méthodes par le calcul et à l'aide de méthodes d'essai

La série EN 1264 fournit des lignes directrices pour les systèmes de surfaces chauffantes et rafraîchissantes intégrées dans les bâtiments résidentiels et non résidentiels (par exemple, des bureaux, des bâtiments publics, commerciaux et industriels), et se concentre sur les systèmes installés à des fins de confort thermique.
La série EN 1264 fournit des lignes directrices pour les systèmes de surfaces chauffantes et rafraîchissantes intégrées dans les parois des pièces à chauffer ou à rafraîchir. Elle spécifie également l'utilisation de fluides caloporteurs autres que l'eau, le cas échéant.
La série EN 1264 spécifie les caractéristiques normalisées des produits en calculant et en mettant à l'essai l'émission thermique du chauffage pour les spécifications techniques et la certification. Pour la conception, la construction et le fonctionnement de ces systèmes, voir l'EN 1264-3 et l'EN 1264-4 pour les types A, B, C, D, H, I et J. Pour les types E, F et G, voir la série EN ISO 11855.
Les systèmes spécifiés dans la série EN 1264 sont fixés directement ou à l'aide de supports de fixation au plancher porteur des parois du bâtiment. La série EN 1264 ne spécifie pas les systèmes de plafond montés dans un plafond suspendu, dont l'entrefer ouvert conçu entre le système et la structure du bâtiment permet la circulation de l'air induite par la chaleur. L'émission thermique de ces systèmes peut être déterminée selon la série EN 14037 et l'EN 14240.
L'EN 1264-2 spécifie les systèmes de chauffage hydrauliques par le sol. L'application de l'EN 1264-5 nécessite l'utilisation préalable de l'EN 1264-2. L'EN 1264-5 spécifie la conversion de l'émission thermique des systèmes de chauffage par le sol déterminée dans l'EN 1264-2 en émission thermique des surfaces chauffantes intégrées dans les murs et les plafonds ou en émission thermique des surfaces rafraîchissantes intégrées dans les sols, les murs et les plafonds.
L'EN 1264-2 spécifie les conditions limites et les méthodes d'essai pour la détermination de l'émission thermique des systèmes de chauffage par le sol à circulation d'eau chaude sous la forme d'une fonction de la différence de température entre le fluide caloporteur et la température ambiante.
L'émission thermique est mise à l'essai par une méthode de calcul et par une méthode de mesure. La méthode de calcul s'applique aux systèmes correspondant aux définitions données dans l'EN 1264-1 (types A, B, C, D, H, I et J). La méthode de mesure fournit des recommandations pour les systèmes ne correspondant pas à ces définitions. Ces deux méthodes sont convergentes et fournissent des résultats d'essai concordants.
Les résultats de l'essai, exprimés en fonction d'autres paramètres, constituent l'émission thermique surfacique normalisée et la différence de température normalisée associée entre le fluide caloporteur et la pièce, ainsi que les familles des courbes caractéristiques qui montrent la relation existant entre l'émission thermique surfacique et la différence de température entre le fluide caloporteur et la pièce.

Introduction
The EN 1264 series is based on the realization that in the field of commercial trade, the thermal output
of heating and cooling systems represents the basis of rating. In order to be able to evaluate and
compare different heating and/or cooling systems, it is therefore necessary to refer to values
determined using one single, unambiguously defined method. The basis for doing so is the test methods
for the determination of the thermal output of floor heating systems specified in EN 1264-2. In analogy
to EN 442-2, Radiators and convectors — Part 2: Test methods and rating, these test methods provide
characteristic partial load curves under defined boundary conditions as well as the characteristic
output of the system represented by the standard thermal output together with the associated standard
temperature difference between the heating medium and the room temperature.

SIST EN 1264-2:2021
EN 1264-2:2021 (E)
1 Scope
The EN 1264 series gives guidelines for surface embedded heating and cooling systems installed in
buildings, residential and non-residential (e.g. office, public, commercial and industrial buildings) and
focuses on systems installed for the purpose of thermal comfort.
The EN 1264 series gives guidelines for water based heating and cooling systems embedded into the
enclosure surfaces of the room to be heated or to be cooled. It also specifies the use of other heating
media instead of water, as appropriate.
The EN 1264 series specifies standardized product characteristics by calculation and testing the
thermal output of heating for technical specifications and certification. For the design, construction and
operation of these systems, see EN 1264-3 and EN 1264-4 for the types A, B, C, D, H, I and J. For the
types E, F and G, see the EN ISO 11855 series.
The systems specified in the EN 1264 series are adjoined to the structural base of the enclosure
surfaces of the building, mounted directly or with fixing supports. The EN 1264 series does not specify
ceiling systems mounted in a suspended ceiling with a designed open air gap between the system and
the building structure which allows the thermally induced circulation of the air. The thermal output of
these systems can be determined according to the EN 14037 series and EN 14240.
EN 1264-2 specifies hot water floor heating systems. The application of EN 1264-5 requires the prior
use of EN 1264-2. EN 1264-5 specifies the conversion of the thermal output of floor heating systems
determined in EN 1264-2 into the thermal output of heating surfaces embedded in walls and ceilings as
well as into the thermal output of cooling surfaces embedded in floors, walls and ceilings.
EN 1264-2 specifies the boundary conditions and the test methods for the determination of the thermal
output of hot water floor heating systems as a function of the temperature difference between the
heating medium and the room temperature.
The thermal output is tested by a calculation method and by a measurement method. The calculation
method is applicable to systems corresponding to the definitions in EN 1264-1 (type A, B, C, D, H, I
and J). The measurement method gives guidance for systems not corresponding to these definitions.
The calculation method and the measurement method are consistent with each other and provide
correlating and adequate test results.
The test results, expressed depending on further parameters, are the standard specific thermal output
and the associated standard temperature difference between the heating medium and the room
temperature as well as fields of characteristic curves showing the relationship between the specific
thermal output and the temperature difference between the heating medium and the room.

4 Thermal boundary conditions
A floor heating surface with a given average surface temperature exchanges the same thermal output in
any room with the same indoor room temperature (standard indoor room temperature ϑ). It is
i
therefore possible to give a basic characteristic curve of the relationship between specific thermal
output and average surface temperature that is independent of the heating system and applicable to all
floor heating surfaces (including those having peripheral areas with greater heat emissions) (see
Figure A.1 in normative Annex A).
In contrast, every floor heating system has its own maximum permissible specific thermal output, the
limit specific thermal output, q . This output is calculated for an ambient (standard) indoor room
G
1
temperature ϑ = 20 °C. The other condition is the maximum surface temperature ϑ = 29 °C at
i F,max
temperature drop between supply and return of the heating medium σ = 0 K. The maximum specific
thermal output for the peripheral area will be achieved at a maximum surface temperature
2
ϑ = 35 °C and σ = 0 K.
F,max
For the calculation and for the test procedure, the centre of the heating surface is used as the reference
point for ϑ , regardless of system type.
F, max
The average surface temperature ϑ , determining the specific thermal output (see basic characteristic
F, m
curve) is linked with the maximum surface temperature. In this context, ϑ < ϑ always applies.
F,m F, max
The achievable value ϑ depends on both the floor heating system and the operating conditions
F,m
(temperature drop σ = ϑ − ϑ , downward thermal output q and thermal resistance of the floor
V R u
covering R ).

National regulations can limit this temperature to a lower value.

Some floor covering materials can require lower temperatures.

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
SIST EN 1264-2:2021
EN 1264-2:2021 (E)
The calculation of the specific thermal output is based on the following conditions:
— the heat transfer at the floor surface occurs in accordance with the basic characteristic curve;
— the temperature drop of the heating medium σ = 0; the extent to which the characteristic curve
depends on the temperature drop, is covered by using the logarithmically determined temperature
difference between the heating medium and the room Δϑ (see Formula (1));
H
— turbulent pipe flow: m /d > 4 000 kg/(h ∙ m);
H i
— there is no lateral heat flow;
— the heat-conducting layer of the floor heating system is thermally decoupled by thermal insulation
from the structural base of the building. The thermal insulation need not be directly below the
system.
The aforementioned last condition does not concern the test procedure of Clause 9.
5 Documents for testing
The system supplier’s documents are taken as the basis for the determination of the thermal output.
The following documents shall be provided:
— installation drawing (section) of the floor heating system, covering two pipe spacing, including the
peripheral area and giving information on the materials used (if necessary, the test results
regarding the thermal conductivity values of the materials shall be provided);
— technical documentation of the system.
This information shall contain any details necessary for the calculation of the construction customary
on site. It shall be submitted to the installer in the same form.
With a member of the testing body present, a demonstration surface of approximately 2 m × 2 m is
constructed to represent the actual construction used on site.
6 Calculation of the specific thermal output (characteristic curves and limit
curves)
6.1 General approach
The specific thermal output q at the surface of a floor is determined by the following parameters:
— Pipe spacing T;
— Thickness s and thermal conductivity λ of the layer above the pipe;
u E
— Thermal conduction resistance R of the floor covering;
λ,B
— Pipe external diameter D = d , including the sheathing (D = d ) if necessary and the thermal
a M
conductivity of the pipe λ or the sheathing λ . In case of pipes having non-circular cross sections,
R M
the equivalent diameter of a circular pipe having the same circumference shall be used in the
calculation (the screed covering shall not be changed). Thickness and thermal conductivity of
permanently mounted diffusion barrier layers with a thickness up to 0,3 mm need not be
considered in the calculation. In this case, D = d shall be used;

Introduction
EN 1264 is based on the realization that in the field of commercial trade, the thermal output of heating
and cooling systems represents the basis of rating. In order to be able to evaluate and compare different
heating and/or cooling systems, it is, therefore, necessary to refer to values determined using one single,
unambiguously defined method. The basis for doing so are the test methods for the determination of the
thermal output of floor heating systems specified in EN 1264-2. In analogy to EN 442-2, Radiators and
convectors — Part 2: Test methods and rating, these test methods provide characteristic partial load
curves under defined boundary conditions as well as the characteristic output of the system represented
by the standard thermal output together with the associated standard temperature difference between
the heating medium and the room temperature.

1 Scope
EN 1264 covers surface embedded heating and cooling systems installed in buildings, residential and
non-residential (e.g. office, public, commercial and industrial buildings) and focuses on systems installed
for the purpose of thermal comfort.
EN 1264 applies to water based heating and cooling systems embedded into the enclosure surfaces of the
room to be heated or to be cooled. It also applies as appropriate to the use of other heating media instead
of water.
EN 1264 applies to identify standardized product characteristics by calculation and testing the thermal
output of heating for technical specifications and certification. For the design, construction and operation
of these systems, EN ISO 11855 applies.
The systems covered in EN 1264 are adjoined to the structural base of the enclosure surfaces of the
building, mounted directly or with fixing supports. It does not cover ceiling systems mounted in a
suspended ceiling with a designed open air gap between the system and the building structure which
allows the thermally induced circulation of the air. The thermal output of these systems can be
determined according to ISO 18566, EN 14037 and EN 14240.
EN 1264-2 applies to hot water floor heating systems. Applying of EN 1264-5 requires the prior use of
EN 1264-2. EN 1264-5 deals with the conversion of the thermal output of floor heating systems
determined in EN 1264-2 into the thermal output of heating surfaces embedded in walls and ceilings as
well as into the thermal output of cooling surfaces embedded in floors, walls and ceilings.
EN 1264-2 specifies the boundary conditions and the test methods for the determination of the thermal
output of hot water floor heating systems as a function of the temperature difference between the heating
medium and the room temperature.
The thermal output is tested by a calculation method and by a measurement method. The calculation
method is applicable to systems corresponding to the definitions in EN 1264-1 (type A, type B, type C,
type D). For systems not corresponding to these definitions, the measurement method shall be used. The
calculation method and the measurement method are consistent with each other and provide correlating
and adequate test results.
The test results, expressed depending on further parameters, are the standard specific thermal output
and the associated standard temperature difference between the heating medium and the room
temperature as well as fields of characteristic curves showing the relationship between the specific
thermal output and the temperature difference between the heating medium and the room.

4 Thermal boundary conditions
A floor heating surface with a given average surface temperature exchanges the same thermal output in
any room with the same indoor room temperature (standard indoor room temperature ϑ ). It is therefore
i
possible to give a basic characteristic curve of the relationship between specific thermal output and
average surface temperature that is independent of the heating system and applicable to all floor heating
surfaces (including those having peripheral areas with greater heat emissions) (see Figure A.1).
In contrast, every floor heating system has its own maximum permissible specific thermal output, the
limit specific thermal output, q . This output is calculated for an ambient (standard) indoor room
G
1)
temperature ϑ = 20 °C. The other condition is the maximum surface temperature ϑ = 29 °C at
i F,max
temperature drop between supply and return of the heating medium σ = 0 K. The maximum specific
thermal output for the peripheral area will be achieved at a maximum surface temperature
2)
ϑ = 35 °C and σ = 0 K.
F,max
For the calculation and for the test procedure, the centre of the heating surface is used as the reference
point for ϑ , regardless of system type.
F, max
The average surface temperature ϑ , determining the specific thermal output (see basic characteristic
F, m
curve) is linked with the maximum surface temperature. In this context, ϑ < ϑ always applies.
F,m F, max
The achievable value ϑ depends on both the floor heating system and the operating conditions
F,m
(temperature drop σ = ϑ − ϑ , downward thermal output q and heat resistance of the floor covering
V R u
R ).

The calculation of the specific thermal output is based on the following conditions:
— The heat transfer at the floor surface occurs in accordance with the basic characteristic curve.
— The temperature drop of the heating medium σ = 0; the extent to which the characteristic curve
depends on the temperature drop, is covered by using the logarithmically determined temperature
difference between the heating medium and the room Δϑ (see Formula (1)).
H
— Turbulent pipe flow: m /d > 4 000 kg/(h ∙ m).
H i
— There is no lateral heat flow.
— The heat-conducting layer of the floor heating system is thermally decoupled by thermal insulation
from the structural base of the building.
NOTE The aforementioned last condition does not concern the test procedure of Clause 9.
5 Documents for testing
The system supplier’s documents are taken as the basis for the determination of the thermal output. The
following documents shall be provided:
— Installation drawing (section) of the floor heating system, covering two pipe spacing, including the
peripheral area and giving information on the materials used (if necessary, the test results regarding
the heat conductivity values of the materials shall be provided).
— Technical documentation of the system.
This information shall contain any details necessary for the calculation of the construction customary on
site. It shall be submitted to the installer in the same form.
With a member of the testing body present, a demonstration surface of approximately 2 m × 2 m is
constructed to represent the actual construction used on site.
6 Calculation of the specific thermal output (characteristic curves and limit
curves)
6.1 General approach
The specific thermal output q at the surface of a floor is determined by the following parameters:
— Pipe spacing T;
— Thickness s and heat conductivity λ of the layer above the pipe;
u E
— Heat conduction resistance R of the floor covering;
λ,B
— Pipe external diameter D = d , including the sheathing (D = d ) if necessary and the heat
a M
conductivity of the pipe λ or the sheathing λ . In case of pipes having non-circular cross sections,
R M
the equivalent diameter of a circular pipe having the same circumference shall be used in the
calculation (the screed covering shall not be changed). Thickness and heat conductivity of
permanently mounted diffusion barrier layers with a thickness up to 0,3 mm need not be considered
in the calculation. In this case, D = d shall be used;
