Introduction
The CENSE project, the discussion between CEN and the Concerted action highlighted the high page
count of the entire package due to a lot of “textbook” information. This resulted in flooding and
confusing the normative text.
A huge amount of informative contents shall indeed be recorded and available for users to properly
understand, apply and nationally adapt the EPB standards.
The detailed technical rules CEN/TS 16629 ask for a clear separation between normative and
informative contents:
— to avoid flooding and confusing the actual normative part with informative content;
— to reduce the page count of the actual standard;
— to facilitate understanding of the package.
Therefore each EPB standard shall be accompanied by an informative technical report, like this one,
where all informative content is collected.

5 Control heating systems, main design rules
5.1 Control heating systems, main design rules, general
Efficient Heating control system consists on integrated functions applied to all parts of the water
heating system: emission or room control by TRV or RTC, flow temperature control by OTC control, FSS,
OSS, pumps and generators sequencing and controls, thermal storage management, cost optimization of
thermal resources taking account smart metering, predictable or detected occupancy.
5.2 Partitioning control heating zones in buildings
5.2.1 General
For efficiently control heating, the flow temperature level of generation and distribution system shall
satisfy heat demand to the lowest flow temperature. For this purpose, flow temperature is compensated
by outside temperature and scheduled for intermittent heating in relation with conditions of use. For
efficiency of control systems:
— The heating system distribution building shall be partitioned into zones or spaces with uniform
conditions of use;
Partitioning of heating systems described on EN 5200-1:2016, Clause 10, D.2, D.3, may usefully be
applied for the design of heating systems.
— The zone partitioning of the building shall take account thermal characteristics of emitters (all
identical emitters) of a zone;
— BAC heating control system shall have multiple controls and intermittent scheduling adapted to
zones or spaces conditions of use. Special attention shall be done to keep watch for update set
points and schedulers to real conditions of use and needs, during exploitation.
For satisfy these indications; size of zones shall be limited.
NOTE An indication is given in EN 15316–2–3:2007, A2: limit zones area to 1000 m2 (one pump for a
maximum of 1 000 m2).
As a general rule, heating control systems consists to integrate many functions applied to central
(generation, storage), zone (distribution) and room (emission) parts of heating systems.
OTC control and OSS and complementary integrated functions specified by prEN 12098-1:2016 and
fulfil items in prEN 15232-1:2015, Table 1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.4, 1.5.
NOTE Better control and scheduling of heating systems imply a data communication network linking control
devices for integration of these functions and other technical building management capabilities for energy
performance.
For these parts, objectives of control functions are: the lowest flow temperature and the longest
reduced or stop heat generation periods and pumps operation.

Generation (see prEN 15316-4-1:2016) and distribution (see EN 15316–2-3) parts are controlled acting
water flow temperature while emission is controlled via the flow through emitters.
These central controls applied to building, zones and spaces (see Figure 1) taking into account thermal
characteristics and conditions of use (see prEN ISO 52000-1:2016, Clause 10, D.2, D.3).
Emitters of a zone or space controlled by an OTC controller shall be of the same model, for conformity
with a single heating curve shape common to all emitters of the controlled zone, i.e. don’t mix different
types of steel radiators, heating floor or fan coil on a distribution controlled by an OTC controller.
5.2.2 Emission control
Individual control of emitters or RTC completes central control by individual emitter’s controllers
acting flow through emitters. The aim of individual control consist to adapt conditions of operation
(individual set point, individual scheduling), to consumers' needs (see prEN 15232-1:2016, Figure 1)
and to compensate room heat gains, reducing heating for comfort and energy saving.
However, individual room temperature control performance doesn’t depend only of individual
controllers; it depends also of the flow temperature central (generation, distribution) control, mainly
for these cases:
— Emitters are not equipped with efficient electronic individual RTC (conform to
prEN 15500-1:2016);
— Users are not encouraged to adapt the set point of their room temperature controller considering
their comfort needs related to energy consumption;
— Heated room or space don’t permit to measure a representative temperature for individual (closed
loop) RTC, e.g.: entrance, corridor, reception hall, exhibition hall, atrium, Emission control is
operated only by the flow temperature control (generation, distribution parts).
Whatever:
— For accuracy of a room controller, the flow temperature of emitters shall be adapted to the heating
load; i.e. related to the main influence, the outside temperature. OTC control improves control
efficiently of individual controllers limiting the role of these controllers to compensate heat gains
and avoiding hanging process of these closed control loops;
— For avoid energy wasting by unusual use, inattentive settings or defaults of room controllers, the
central OTC control limit the higher room temperature able to be reached.
EXAMPLE Room temperature able to be reached by OTC control may be limited to 22 °C, room controller
reduce this level, modulating flow through emitter.

5 Control heating systems, general design rules
5.1 Control heating systems
Efficient Heating control system consists on integrated functions applied to all parts of the water
heating system: emission or room control by TRV or RTC, flow temperature control by OTC control, FSS,
OSS, pumps and generators sequencing and controls, thermal storage management, cost optimization of
thermal resources taking account smart metering, predictable or detected occupancy.
5.2 Partitioning control heating zones in buildings
5.2.1 General
For efficiently control heating, the flow temperature level of generation and distribution system shall
satisfy heat demand to the lowest flow temperature. For this purpose, flow temperature is compensated
by outside temperature and scheduled for intermittent heating in relation with conditions of use. For
efficiency of control systems:
— The heating system distribution building shall be partitioned into zones or spaces with uniform
conditions of use;
Partitioning of heating systems described on EN 15603:2008, Clause 9, D.2, D.3, may usefully be applied
for the design of heating systems.
— The zone partitioning of the building shall take account thermal characteristics of emitters (all
identical emitters) of a zone;
— BAC heating control system shall have multiple controls and intermittent scheduling adapted to
zones or spaces conditions of use. Special attention shall be done to keep watch for update set
points and schedulers to real conditions of use and needs, during exploitation.
For satisfy these indications; size of zones shall be limited. An indication is given in EN 15316–2-3:2007,
2 2
A2–2: limit zones area to 1000 m (one pump for a maximum of 1 000 m ).
As a general rule, heating control systems consists to integrate many functions applied to central
(generation, storage), zone (distribution) and room (emission) parts of heating systems.
OTC control and OSS and complementary integrated functions specified by prEN 12098-1:2015 and
fulfil items in prEN 15232-1:2015, Table 1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.4, 1.5.

NOTE Better control and scheduling of heating systems imply a data communication network linking control
devices for integration of these functions and other technical building management capabilities for energy
performance.
For these parts, objectives of control functions are: the lowest flow temperature and the longest
reduced or stop heat generation periods and pumps operation.
Generation (see prEN 15316-4-1:2015) and distribution (see EN 15316–2-3) parts are controlled acting
water flow temperature while emission is controlled via the flow through emitters.
These central controls applied to building, zones and spaces (see Figure 1) taking into account thermal
characteristics and conditions of use (see EN 15603:2008, Clause 9, D.2, D.3).
Emitters of a zone or space controlled by an OTC controller shall be of the same model, for conformity
with a single heating curve shape common to all emitters of the controlled zone, i.e. don’t mix different
types of steel radiators, heating floor or fan coil on a distribution controlled by an OTC controller.
5.2.2 Emission control
Individual control of emitters or RTC completes central control by individual emitter’s controllers
acting flow through emitters. The aim of individual control consist to adapt conditions of operation
(individual set point, individual scheduling), to consumers' needs (see prEN 15232-1:2015, Figure 1)
and to compensate room heat gains, reducing heating for comfort and energy saving.
However, individual room temperature control performance doesn’t depend only of individual
controllers; it depends also of the flow temperature central (generation, distribution) control, mainly
for these cases:
— Emitters are not equipped with efficient electronic individual RTC (conform to prEN 15500-
1:2015);
— Users are not encouraged to adapt the set point of their room temperature controller considering
their comfort needs related to energy consumption;
— Heated room or space don’t permit to measure a representative temperature for individual (closed
loop) RTC, e.g.: entrance, corridor, reception hall, exhibition hall, atrium, Emission control is
operated only by the flow temperature control (generation, distribution parts).
Whatever:
— For accuracy of a room controller, the flow temperature of emitters shall be adapted to the heating
load; i.e. related to the main influence, the outside temperature. OTC control improves control
efficiently of individual controllers limiting the role of these controllers to compensate heat gains
and avoiding hanging process of these closed control loops;
— For avoid energy wasting by unusual use, inattentive settings or defaults of room controllers, the
central OTC control limit the higher room temperature able to be reached.
EXAMPLE Room temperature able to be reached by OTC control may be limited to 22 °C, room controller
reduce this level, modulating flow through emitter.
