This European Standard is applicable to measure some parameters of thermal and acoustic comfort (i.e. temperatures, air velocities…) in a room with an air diffusion system.
This European Standard can be used on site or in a lab for full-scale measurements.
This European Standard applies to ventilation or air conditioning systems designed to maintain the comfort conditions in buildings. It is not applicable in the case of systems for the control of industrial or other special process environments.
NOTE In the latter case however, it may be referred to if the system technology is similar to that of the above mentioned ventilation and air conditioning systems.
Lüftung von Gebäuden - Luftverteilung - Messungen im Aufenthaltsbereich von klimatisierten/belüfteten Räumen zur Bewertung der thermischen und akustischen Bedingungen
Diese Europäische Norm ist auf die Messung einiger Parameter der thermischen und akustischen Behaglich¬keit (d. h. Temperaturen, Luftgeschwindigkeiten usw.) in einem Raum mit einer Luftverteilungsanlage anwendbar.
Die vorliegende Europäische Norm kann vor Ort oder im Labor zur Durchführung von Messungen im Originalmaßstab angewendet werden.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Lüftungs oder Klimaanlagen, die dafür ausgelegt sind, die Behaglichkeits¬bedingungen in Gebäuden aufrechtzuerhalten. Sie ist nicht anwendbar auf Anlagen zur Regelung der Umgebung industrieller oder sonstiger spezieller Prozesse.
ANMERKUNG Im letztgenannten Fall kann jedoch auf diese Norm Bezug genommen werden, wenn die Anlagentechnologie ähnlich der Technologie der vorstehend genannten Lüftungs und Klimaanlagen ist.
Systèmes de ventilation pour les bâtiments - Diffusion d'air - Mesurages dans la zone d'occupation des pièces avec conditionnement d'air ou ventilation afin d'évaluer les conditions thermiques et acoustiques
La présente Norme européenne s’applique au mesurage de certains paramètres de confort thermique et acoustique (c’est à dire températures, vitesses de l’air, …) dans une pièce équipée d’un système de diffusion d’air.
La présente Norme européenne peut être utilisée sur site ou dans un laboratoire pour des mesures grandeur réelle.
La présente Norme européenne s’applique aux systèmes de ventilation ou de conditionnement d’air conçus pour maintenir les conditions de confort dans les bâtiments. Elle ne s’applique pas aux systèmes de contrôle des environnements de traitement industriel ou autre traitement spécial.
NOTE Dans ce dernier cas cependant, il peut être fait référence à la présente norme si la technologie du système est similaire à celle des systèmes de ventilation et de climatisation mentionnés ci-dessus.

For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 12599, Ventilation for buildings — Test procedures and measuring methods for handing over installed ventilation and air conditioning systems EN 13182 Ventilation for buildings — Instrumentation requirements for air velocity measurements in ventilated spaces EN 13779, Ventilation for non-residential buildings — Performance requirements for ventilation and room-conditioning systems prEN 16211, Ventilation for buildings — Measurement of air flows on site — methods EN ISO 5167-1, Measurement of fluid flow by means of pressure differential devices inserted in circular cross-section conduits running full — Part 1: General principles and requirements (ISO 5167-1:2003) EN ISO 7726, Ergonomics of the thermal environment - Instruments for measuring physical quantities (ISO 7726:1998) 3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply: 3.1 reference point point where the measurements are taken 3.2 mean velocity time average velocity over the whole measuring period 3.3 spatial average velocity average value of mean velocities taken in several points in the occupied zone SIST EN 15726:2012
EN 15726:2011 (E) 5 3.4 spatial maximum velocity maximum value of mean velocities taken in several points in the occupied zone 3.5 test area usually areas designed for human occupancy and defined as a volume of air that is confined by specified horizontal and vertical planes NOTE 1 The vertical planes are usually parallel with the walls of the room. Usually there is also a limit placed on the height of the occupied zone. Thus, the occupied zone in a room is that space in which the occupants are normally located and where the requirements for the indoor environment shall be satisfied. Definitions are given in EN 13779:2007, 7.2.
NOTE 2 Definition of the occupied zone is dependent on the geometry and the use of the room and should be specified case by case. [Occupied area, EN 13779, modified] 3.6 occupied zone (for laboratory purpose) portion of the treated space geometrically limited to be no closer than 0,15 m to all walls and within a height of 1,8 m above the floor 4 Test set up and conditions 4.1 General
Before any test, the air diffusion system shall be checked accordance with EN 12599 so that its performance may be recorded.
If the system performance does not meet the design criteria, correction shall be considered prior to the continuation of the test. If this is not possible this shall be made clear in the report along with the assumptions made. 4.2 Thermal loads The room should be occupied according to its expected use or thermal loads have to be simulated. This should include all internal and external loads (occupants, lights, equipment…). For on site measurements internal and external loads should be reported (actual or simulated).
4.3 Furniture Furniture, curtains, absorbent surfaces, etc. can influence thermal or acoustic characteristics and should therefore be as representative as possible. 4.4 Other conditions Operational conditions of system running (VAV, fan speed, variable geometry…) and environmental conditions do have influence on results and have to be reported according to Annex A. Conditions must be stabilised as much as possible during the test. For instance, supply temperature and reference point temperature should be checked regularly and should not vary during the test by more than +/- 1 K. If this is not possible then the variation shall be recorded. SIST EN 15726:2012
EN 15726:2011 (E) 6 5 Methodology 5.1 Sampling in a room The reference point will be situated in the centre of the test area at a height of 1,1 m. Large areas may be divided into smaller parts, usually recommended to be less than or equal to 20 m2 (EN 12599). In this case, each smaller part shall be treated as a test area There should be enough area to ensure a correct representation of the overall and local air diffusion. It is recommended that the test area takes into account several diffusers jets in order to cover the effect of jet interaction.
5.2 Measurements 5.2.1 General
Different levels of measurements can be used: Level 1: easy and quick check at the reference point(s).
Level 2: more detailed check. Level 1 tests have to be performed first. For each level, required measurements are indicated in Table 1. Table 1 — Measurements required
