Water based surface embedded heating and cooling systems - Part 1: Definitions and symbols

This European Standard is applicable to water based surface embedded heating and cooling systems in residential, office and other buildings, the use of which corresponds to or is similar to that of residential buildings.
This European Standard applies to 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.

Raumflächenintegrierte Heiz- und Kühlsysteme mit Wasserdurchströmung - Teil 1: Definitionen und Symbole

Die Normenreihe 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 Raumumschließungsflächen 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 1 legt Systemtypen und Merkmale von raumflächenintegrierten Strahlheizungs- und  kühlsystemen mit Wasserdurchströmung fest.

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.

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 1264-1 specifies system types and characteristics of water based surface embedded radiant heating
and cooling systems.

For the definition of the different system types, see Annex A.
3.1.1
surface embedded heating and cooling system
heating or cooling installation embedded into the enclosure surfaces of the room which is adjoined to
the structural base of the enclosure surfaces of the building, directly mounted or with fixing supports,
without any open air gap consisting of circuits of pipes, circuit distributors, control equipment and
thermal diffusion layers
Note 1 to entry: The system can be embedded in the floor, wall or ceiling.
3.1.2
open air gap
designed air inclusions between the heated or cooled surface and the structural base of the building

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 1264-1 describes system types and characteristics of water based surface embedded radiant heating
and cooling systems.
2 Normative references

constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

3.1
Surface embedded heating and cooling system

Note1 to entry For the definition of the different system types, see Annex A.
3.1.1
surface embedded heating and cooling system
heating or cooling installation embedded into the enclosure surfaces of the room which is adjoined to
the structural base of the enclosure surfaces of the building, directly mounted or with fixing supports,
without any open air gap consisting of circuits of pipes, circuit distributors, and control equipment

3.1.2
open air gap
designed air inclusions between the heated or cooled surface and the structural base of the building
which is large enough to enable thermally induced air circulation

Note 2 to entry: Wall and ceiling systems can have air inclusions due to fixing supports, see Figure 1. These are
not regarded as open air gaps when the separated inclusions act as a thermal insulation without internal air
circulation.
