Building environment design - Design, dimensioning, installation and control of embedded radiant heating and cooling systems - Part 4: Dimensioning and calculation of the dynamic heating and cooling capacity of Thermo Active Building Systems (TABS) (ISO 11855-4:2012)

This European Standard 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.
The methods do not apply to heated or chilled ceiling panels or beams.
The aim of the present standard is not the evaluation of cooling load for dynamic simulations, but to give a guide for dimensioning Thermo Active Building Systems (TABS), which can enable the use of renewable energy sources.
This Standard allows the calculation of peak cooling capacity of a thermo active building system (based on heat gains, such as solar gains, internal heat gains, and ventilation), and the calculation of the cooling power demand on the water side to be used to size the cooling system, as regards the chiller size, fluid flow rate, etc. This standard defines even a detailed method aimed at the calculation of heating and cooling capacity in unsteady state conditions. Steady state heating capacity is calculated according to method B or E in Part 2 of this series of standards instead.

ISO 11855-4:2012 permet de calculer la puissance frigorifique de pointe de systèmes d'éléments de construction thermoactifs (TABS) en se fondant sur les apports de chaleur, tels que les apports solaires, les apports de chaleur internes et la ventilation, ainsi que de calculer la demande en puissance frigorifique côté eau, afin de les utiliser pour dimensionner le système de refroidissement en ce qui concerne les dimensions du refroidisseur, le débit de fluide, etc.
La présente partie de l'ISO 11855 présente une méthode détaillée visant à calculer la puissance calorifique et frigorifique dans des conditions non stabilisées.
La série ISO 11855 s'applique aux systèmes de chauffage et de refroidissement de surface intégrés à eau dans les bâtiments résidentiels, commerciaux et industriels. Ces méthodes s'appliquent aux systèmes intégrés dans les murs, sols ou plafonds, sans ouverture à l'air libre. Elles ne s'appliquent pas aux systèmes de panneaux avec ouvertures à l'air libre, qui ne sont pas intégrés dans une structure de bâtiment.
La série ISO 11855 s'applique également, le cas échéant, à l'utilisation d'autres fluides que l'eau en tant que medium de chauffage ou de refroidissement. La série ISO 11855 ne s'applique pas à l'essai des systèmes. Ces méthodes ne s'appliquent pas aux panneaux ou poutres de plafond chauffés ou refroidis.

Ta evropski standard se uporablja za vgrajene ploskovne sisteme za ogrevanje in hlajenje z vodo v stanovanjskih, poslovnih ter industrijskih stavbah. Metode se uporabljajo za sisteme, vgrajene v stensko, talno ali stropno konstrukcijo brez odprtih vmesnih zračnih prostorov. Metode se ne uporabljajo za ogrevane ali hlajene stropne plošče ali tramove. Cilj tega standarda ni ocena hladilne obremenitve za dinamične simulacije, ampak zagotoviti navodilo za dimenzioniranje termoaktivnega gradbenega sistema (TABS), ki lahko omogoči uporabo obnovljivih virov energije. Ta standard omogoča izračun vršne zmogljivosti hlajenja termoaktivnega gradbenega sistema (na podlagi toplotnih dobičkov, kot so solarni dobički, notranji toplotni dobički in prezračevanje) in izračun zahteve glede moči hlajenja v zvezi z vodo, ki se uporablja za ocenjevanje hladilnega sistema, kar zadeva velikost naprave za hlajenje, hitrost pretoka tekočine itd. Ta standard določa celo podrobno metodo za izračun zmogljivosti ogrevanja in hlajenja v neustaljenih pogojih. Ustaljena zmogljivost ogrevanja se namesto tega izračuna v skladu z metodo B ali E v 2. delu te skupine standardov.

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 11855-4 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:
— Part 1: Definition, symbols, and comfort criteria
— Part 2: Determination of the design and 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 specifies 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. Part 2 provides steady-state calculation methods for determination of the heating
and cooling capacity. Part 3 specifies design and dimensioning methods 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 purposes, since radiant heating and cooling
systems can reduce energy consumption and heat source size by using renewable energy. Part 5 addresses
the installation process for the system to operate as intended. Part 6 shows a proper control method of 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.

Introduction
The radiant heating and cooling system consists of heat emitting/absorbing, heat supply, distribution, and
control systems. The ISO 11855 series deals with the embedded surface heating and cooling system that
directly controls heat exchange within the space. It does not include the system equipment itself, such as heat
source, distribution system and controller.
The ISO 11855 series addresses an embedded system that is integrated with the building structure.
Therefore, the panel system with open air gap, which is not integrated with the building structure, is not
covered by this series.
The ISO 11855 series shall be applied to systems using not only water but also other fluids or electricity as a
heating or cooling medium.
The object of the ISO 11855 series is to provide criteria to effectively design embedded systems. To do this, it
presents comfort criteria for the space served by embedded systems, heat output calculation, dimensioning,
dynamic analysis, installation, operation, and control method of embedded systems.

1 Scope
This part of ISO 11855 allows the calculation of peak cooling capacity of Thermo Active Building Systems
(TABS), based on heat gains, such as solar gains, internal heat gains, and ventilation, and the calculation of
the cooling power demand on the water side, to be used to size the cooling system, as regards the chiller size,
fluid flow rate, etc.
This part of ISO 11855 defines a detailed method aimed at the calculation of heating and cooling capacity in
non-steady state conditions.
The ISO 11855 series 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. It does not apply to panel systems with open air gaps which
are not integrated into the building structure.
The ISO 11855 series also applies, as appropriate, to the use of fluids other than water as a heating or cooling
medium. The ISO 11855 series is not applicable for testing of systems. The methods do not apply to heated or
chilled ceiling panels or beams.

The building constructions embedding the pipe are usually the horizontal ones. As a consequence, in the
following sections, floors and ceilings are usually referred to as active surfaces. Looking at a typical structure
of a TAS, heat is removed by a cooling system (for instance, a chiller), connected to pipes embedded in the
slab. The system can be divided into the elements shown in Figure 2.

Thermally active surfaces exploit the high thermal inertia of the slab in order to perform the peak-shaving. The
peak-shaving consists in reducing the peak in the required cooling power (see Figure 3), so that it is possible
to cool the structures of the building during a period in which the occupants are absent (during night time, in
office premises). This way the energy consumption can be reduced and a lower night time electricity rate can
be used. At the same time a reduction in the size of heating/cooling system components (including the chiller)
is possible.

© ISO 2012 – All rights reserved 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 11855-4 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: — Part 1: Definition, symbols, and comfort criteria — Part 2: Determination of the design and 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 specifies 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. Part 2 provides steady-state calculation methods for determination of the heating and cooling capacity. Part 3 specifies design and dimensioning methods 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 purposes, since radiant heating and cooling systems can reduce energy consumption and heat source size by using renewable energy. Part 5 addresses the installation process for the system to operate as intended. Part 6 shows a proper control method of 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. kSIST FprEN ISO 11855-4:2015

v Introduction The radiant heating and cooling system consists of heat emitting/absorbing, heat supply, distribution, and control systems. The ISO 11855 series deals with the embedded surface heating and cooling system that directly controls heat exchange within the space. It does not include the system equipment itself, such as heat source, distribution system and controller. The ISO 11855 series addresses an embedded system that is integrated with the building structure. Therefore, the panel system with open air gap, which is not integrated with the building structure, is not covered by this series. The ISO 11855 series shall be applied to systems using not only water but also other fluids or electricity as a heating or cooling medium. The object of the ISO 11855 series is to provide criteria to effectively design embedded systems. To do this, it presents comfort criteria for the space served by embedded systems, heat output calculation, dimensioning, dynamic analysis, installation, operation, and control method of embedded systems. kSIST FprEN ISO 11855-4:2015

The ISO 11855 series 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. It does not apply to panel systems with open air gaps which are not integrated into the building structure. The ISO 11855 series also applies, as appropriate, to the use of fluids other than water as a heating or cooling medium. The ISO 11855 series is not applicable for testing of systems. The methods do not apply to heated or chilled ceiling panels or beams. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Mechanical ventilation with dehumidifying may be required depending on external climate and indoor humidity production. In the example in Figure 3, the required peak cooling power needed for dehumidifying the air during day time is sufficient to cool the slab during night time. As regards the design of TABS, the planner needs to know if the capacity at a given water temperature is sufficient to keep the room temperature within a given comfort range. Moreover, the planner needs also to know the heat flow on the water side to be able to dimension the heat distribution system and the chiller/boiler. This part of ISO 11855 provides methods for both purposes. When using TABS, the indoor temperature changes moderately during the day and the aim of a good TABS design is to maintain internal conditions within the range of comfort, i.e. –0,5 < PMV < 0,5, during the day, according to ISO 7730 (see Figure 4). kSIST FprEN ISO 11855-4:2015

The use of such detailed calculation models is, however, limited due to the high amount of time needed for the simulations. The development of a more user friendly tool is required. Such a tool is provided in this part of ISO 11855, and allows the simulation of TAS. The diagrams in Figure 5 show an example of the relation between internal heat gains, water supply temperature, heat transfer on the room side, hours of operation and heat transfer on the water side. The diagrams refer to a concrete slab with raised floor (R = 0,45 (m2áK)/W) and an allowed room temperature range of 21°C to 26°C. The upper diagram shows on the Y-axis the maximum permissible total heat gain in space (internal heat gains plus solar gains) [W/m2], and on the X-axis the required water supply temperature. The lines in the diagram correspond to different operation periods (8 h, 12 h, 16 h, and 24 h) and different maximum amounts of energy supplied per day [Wh/(m2ád)]. The lower diagram shows the cooling power [W/m2] required on the water side (to dimension the chiller) for TAS as a function of supply water temperature and operation time. Further, the amount of energy rejected per day is indicated [Wh/(m2ád)]. The example shows that, for a m
