Energy performance of buildings - Ventilation for buildings - Part 3: For non-residential buildings - Performance requirements for ventilation and room-conditioning systems (Modules M5-1, M5-4)

This document applies to the design, energy performance of buildings and implementation of ventilation, air conditioning and room conditioning systems for non-residential buildings subject to human occupancy, excluding applications like industrial processes. It focuses on the definitions of the various parameters that are relevant for such systems.
The guidance for design given in this document and accompanying CEN/TR 16798 4 are mainly applicable to mechanical supply and/or exhaust ventilation systems. Natural ventilation systems or natural parts of hybrid ventilation systems are not covered by this document. Reference is made to the WI 00156243 (under development).
Applications for residential ventilation are not covered in this document. Performance of ventilation systems in residential buildings are covered in EN 15665 and CEN/TR 14788.
The classification uses different categories. For some values, examples are given and, for requirements, typical ranges with default values are presented. The default values are given in Annex B and a template for national specification is given in Annex A. Classification should always be appropriate to the type of building and its intended use, and the basis of the classification should be explained if the examples given in the European Standard are not to be used.
NOTE 1   Different standards can express the categories for the same parameters in a different way, and also the category symbols can be different.
Table 1 shows the relative position of this document within the set of EPB standards in the context of the modular structure as set out in EN ISO 52000 1.
NOTE 2   In CEN ISO/TR 52000 2 the same Table can be found, with, for each module, the numbers of the relevant EPB standards and accompanying technical reports that are published or in preparation.
NOTE 3   The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard might cover more than one module and one module might be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance a simplified and a detailed method respectively. See also Clause 2 and Table A.1 and Table B.1.

Introduction
This document is part of a series of standards aiming at European harmonization of the methodology
for the assessment of the energy performance of buildings, called “set of EPB standards”.
The set of EPB standards follow specific rules to ensure overall consistency, unambiguity and
transparency.
The set of EPB standards provide a certain flexibility with regard to the methods, the required input
data and references to other EPB standards, by the introduction of a template for national default
choices in Annex A and with informative default choices in Annex B.
For the correct use of this document, a normative template is given in Annex A to specify these choices.
Informative default choices are provided in Annex B.
The main target groups of this document are all the users of the set of EPB standards (e.g. architects,
engineers, regulators).
Use by or for regulators: In case the standard is used in the context of national or regional legal
requirements, mandatory choices may be given at national or regional level for such specific
applications. These choices (either the informative default choices from Annex B or choices adapted to
national/regional needs, but in any case following the template of this Annex A) can be made available
as national Annex or as separate (e.g. legal) document (national data sheet).
NOTE So in this case:
• the regulators will specify the choices;
• the individual user will apply the standard to assess the energy performance of a building, and thereby use
the choices made by the regulators.
Topics addressed in this document can be subject to public regulation. Public regulation on the same
topics can override the default values in Annex B of this document. Public regulation on the same topics
can even, for certain applications, override the use of this document. Legal requirements and choices
are in general not published in standards but in legal documents. In order to avoid double publications
and difficult updating of double documents, a national Annex may refer to the legal texts where national
choices have been made by public authorities. Different national annexes or national data sheets are
possible, for different applications.
It is expected, if the default values, choices and references to other EPB standards in Annex B are not
followed due to national regulations, policy or traditions, that:
• national or regional authorities prepare data sheets containing the choices and national or
regional values, according to the model in Annex A. In this case the national Annex (e.g. NA)
refers to this text;
• or, by default, the national standards body will consider the possibility to add or include a
national Annex in agreement with the template of Annex A, in accordance to the legal
documents that give national or regional values and choices.
Further target groups are parties wanting to motivate their assumptions by classifying the building
energy performance for a dedicated building stock.

This document also provides specifications especially for designers, installers, manufacturers, building
owners and users, on fan assisted ventilation (see Figure 1), air-conditioning and room-conditioning
systems in order to achieve a comfortable and healthy indoor environment in all seasons with
acceptable installation and running costs. This document focuses on the system-aspects for typical
applications and covers the following:
• aspects important to achieve and maintain a good energy performance in the systems without
any negative impact on the quality of the indoor environment;
• definitions of design and performances data.
More information is provided in the Technical Report accompanying this standard (CEN/TR 16798-4).
For the designing use of this document, an informative default Annex providing additional design
parameters is given with Annex C. CEN Members are free to use Annex C or supplement this document
with their national design parameters in a national foreword.

1 Scope
This document applies to the design, energy performance of buildings and implementation of
ventilation, air conditioning and room conditioning systems for non-residential buildings subject to
human occupancy, excluding applications like industrial processes. It focuses on the definitions of the
various parameters that are relevant for such systems.
The guidance for design given in this document and accompanying CEN/TR 16798-4 are mainly
applicable to mechanical supply and/or exhaust ventilation systems. Natural ventilation systems or
natural parts of hybrid ventilation systems are not covered by this document. Reference is made to the
WI 00156243 (under development).
Applications for residential ventilation are not covered in this document. Performance of ventilation
systems in residential buildings are covered in EN 15665 and CEN/TR 14788.
The classification uses different categories. For some values, examples are given and, for requirements,
typical ranges with default values are presented. The default values are given in Annex B and a template
for national specification is given in Annex A. Classification should always be appropriate to the type of
building and its intended use, and the basis of the classification should be explained if the examples
given in the European Standard are not to be used.
NOTE 1 Different standards can express the categories for the same parameters in a different way, and also the
category symbols can be different.
Table 1 shows the relative position of this document within the set of EPB standards in the context of
the modular structure as set out in EN ISO 52000-1.
NOTE 2 In CEN ISO/TR 52000-2 the same Table can be found, with, for each module, the numbers of the
relevant EPB standards and accompanying technical reports that are published or in preparation.
NOTE 3 The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard might cover more than one module
and one module might be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance a simplified and a detailed method
respectively. See also Clause 2 and Table A.1 and Table B.1.

3.1
EPB standard
standard that complies with the requirements given in EN ISO 52000-1, CEN/TS 16628 and
CEN/TS 16629
Note 1 to entry: CEN/TS 16628 and CEN/TS 16629 contain specific rules to ensure overall consistency,
unambiguity, transparency and flexibility, supported by common templates. EN ISO 52000-1, the overarching EPB
standard, is indispensable for each EPB standard, because of the modular structure, common terms and
definitions, symbols and subscripts and because it provides the general framework for the EPB assessment.
