Energy performance of buildings - Calculation of energy needs for space heating and cooling using dynamic methods - General criteria and validation procedures

This European Standard specifies a set of assumptions, requirements and validation tests for procedures used for the calculation of the annual energy needs for space heating and cooling of a room in a building where the calculations are done with a time step of one hour or less.
This European Standard does not impose any specific numerical technique for the calculation of the room heating or cooling need and the internal temperatures of a room.
The purpose of this European Standard is to validate calculation methods used to:
-   assess the energy performance of each room of a building;
-   provide energy data to be used as interface with system performance analysis (heating, cooling, ventilating, lighting, domestic hot water etc).
The validation procedure is used to check the energy need for space heating and cooling based on a transient sensible heat balance model, taking into account:
-   the external surface heat balance;
-   the conduction through the building envelope;
-   the thermal capacities of external and internal structures;
-   the internal surface heat balance;
-   the air heat balance;
-   the heat balance solution method.
All other aspects are given either by prescribed boundary conditions or by input data and are not part of the model validation. It is assumed, that for all these other matters e.g. embedded heating and cooling systems, prescriptive models have to be used according to existing European Standards.
The system performance analysis and moisture balance are not within the scope of this European Standard.

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Annahmen, Anforderungen und Validierungsprüfungen für ein Verfahren zur Berechnung des Jahresheiz  und Jahreskühlenergieverbrauchs eines Raums in einem Gebäude fest, wobei die Berechnungen auf Zeitschritten von einer Stunde oder weniger beruhen.
Diese Europäische Norm legt keine spezifische numerische Verfahrensweise für die Berechnung der Raumheiz  oder Raumkühlbedarfs und der Rauminnentemperaturen fest.
Der Zweck dieser Europäischen Norm besteht darin, Berechnungsverfahren zu validieren, die für Folgendes angewendet werden:
   Beurteilung der Energieeffizienz jedes Raumes eines Gebäudes;
   Bereitstellung von Energiedaten, die als Schnittstelle mit der Analyse der Anlagenleistung anzuwenden sind (Heizen, Kühlen, Beleuchtung, Warmwasserbereitung usw.).
Das Validierungsverfahren wird angewendet, um auf der Grundlage eines Modells der Wärmebilanz für die sensible Übergangswärme und unter Berücksichtigung der folgenden Aspekte den Heiz  und Kühlenergie¬verbrauch zu überprüfen:
   Wärmebilanz für die Außenoberfläche;
   Wärmeleitung durch die Gebäudehülle;
   Wärmekapazität der Außen- und Innenbauteile;
   Wärmebilanz für die Innenoberfläche;
   Wärmebilanz für die Luft;
   Lösungsverfahren für die Wärmebilanz.
Alle weiteren Aspekte sind in Form von vorgeschriebenen Randbedingungen oder Eingangsdaten angegeben und sind nicht Bestandteil der Modellvalidierung. Es wird vorausgesetzt, dass für alle weiteren Aspekte, z. B. eingebettete Heiz- und Kühlsysteme, vorgeschriebene Modelle in Übereinstimmung mit bestehenden Europäischen Normen anzuwenden sind.

Performance thermiques des bâtiments - Calcul des besoins d'énergie pour le chauffage et le refroidissement des locaux - Critères généraux et procédures de validation

La présente Norme européenne définit les hypothèses, exigences et essais de validation des procédures de calcul des besoins énergétiques annuels de chauffage et de refroidissement d’un local, dans un bâtiment où les calculs sont effectués sur des périodes inférieures ou égales à une heure.
La présente Norme européenne n’impose pas de technique numérique spécifique pour le calcul des besoins en chauffage ou en refroidissement et des températures intérieures du local.
L'objet de la présente Norme européenne est de valider les méthodes de calcul utilisées pour :
   évaluer les performances énergétiques de chaque local d’un bâtiment ;
   fournir les données énergétiques à utiliser comme interface avec l’analyse des performances du système (chauffage, refroidissement, ventilation, éclairage, eau chaude sanitaire, etc).
La procédure de validation sert à vérifier les besoins énergétiques de chauffage et de refroidissement en se basant sur un modèle de balance thermique dynamique en chaleur sensible, en tenant compte :
   de la balance thermique superficielle extérieure ;
   de la conduction de l'enveloppe du bâtiment ;
   des capacités thermiques des structures extérieure et intérieure ;
   de la balance thermique superficielle intérieure ;
   de la balance thermique de l'air ;
   de la méthode de solution de la balance thermique.
Tous les autres aspects sont indiqués soit par les conditions limites prescrites, soit par les données d'entrées, et ne font pas partie de la validation du modèle. On suppose que pour toutes ces autres questions, par exemple, pour les systèmes de chauffage et de refroidissement intégrés, des modèles normatifs doivent être utilisés d'après les Normes européennes existantes.
L’analyse des performances du système et la balance en terme d’humidité n’entrent pas dans le domaine d’application de la présente Norme européenne.

EN 15265:2007 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 15265:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 89 “Thermal performance of buildings and building components”, the secretariat of which is held by SIS. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2008. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association (Mandate M/343), and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 2002/91/EC on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD). It forms part of a series of standards aimed at European harmonisation of the methodology for the calculation of the energy performance of buildings. An overview of the whole set of standards is given in prCEN/TR 15615. Attention is drawn to the need for observance of EU Directives transposed into national legal requirements. Existing national regulations (with or without reference to national standards) may restrict for the time being the implementation of this European Standard. This European Standard is one of a series of standards on general criteria and validation procedures for transient calculation methods for the design and the evaluation of the thermal and energy performance of buildings and building components. No existing European Standard is superseded. The target audience of this European Standard are software developers of building simulation tools and policy makers in the building regulation sector. The standard specifies the boundary conditions and the simplifications needed to reach calculation results for the building part which are comparable. It needs to be emphasized that there exist more sophisticated energy simulation methods and procedures including interactions with the heating, cooling, ventilating and lighting systems which may be used for the design and optimization process of a building without being necessarily covered by existing European Standards. This European Standard provides the means (in part) to assess the contribution that building products and services make to energy conservation and to the overall energy performance of buildings. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Introduction This European Standard defines assumptions, boundary conditions and a procedure for the validation of dynamic calculation methods for the calculation of the annual energy need for space heating and cooling of a building or a part of it. This way, the same dynamic method used for calculating design heating and cooling loads can provide also the cooling and heating needs necessary to estimate annual energy requirements. The series of European Standards, giving general criteria and validation procedures for the building part of energy simulation models for the different calculation subjects, are listed below. European Standard Subject EN ISO 13791 EN ISO 13792 Temperature calculations (air and operative) EN 15255 Load calculations (sensible cooling) EN 15265 Energy need calculations (heating and cooling)



EN 15265:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a set of assumptions, requirements and validation tests for procedures used for the calculation of the annual energy needs for space heating and cooling of a room in a building where the calculations are done with a time step of one hour or less. This European Standard does not impose any specific numerical technique for the calculation of the room heating or cooling need and the internal temperatures of a room. The purpose of this European Standard is to validate calculation methods used to:  assess the energy performance of each room of a building;  provide energy data to be used as interface with system performance analysis (heating, cooling, ventilating, lighting, domestic hot water etc). The validation procedure is used to check the energy need for space heating and cooling based on a transient sensible heat balance model, taking into account:  the external surface heat balance;  the conduction through the building envelope;  the thermal capacities of external and internal structures;  the internal surface heat balance;  the air heat balance;  the heat balance solution method. All other aspects are given either by prescribed boundary conditions or by input data and are not part of the model validation. It is assumed, that for all these other matters e.g. embedded heating and cooling systems, prescriptive models have to be used according to existing European Standards. The system performance analysis and moisture balance are not within the scope of this European Standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

4 Procedures The hourly heating and cooling needs of the building are calculated for the whole year based on climatic data, building characteristics using applicable standards listed in prEN ISO 13790 and national data for internal heat gains. The validation tests given in Clause 8 are limited to the thermal energy to be delivered to or extracted from the premises for heating and cooling only and therefore exclude the linkage to the energy system parts illustrated in Figure 1.

5 Basic assumptions The following basic assumptions shall be considered as minimum requirements for dynamic calculation methods being validated according to this European Standard:  the room is considered a closed space delimited by enclosure elements;  the air temperature is uniform throughout the room;  the thermophysical properties of all materials are constant and isotropic;  the convective heat transfer coefficients are fixed;  the heat conduction through each room element is one-dimensional and their surfaces are considered isothermal;  thermal bridges are represented either as linear heat loss elements with no thermal inertia according to prEN ISO 14683 or as equivalent one-dimensional building elements with thermal mass and thermal characteristics derived by steady state calculations according to prEN ISO 10211;  the distribution of the solar radiation on the internal surfaces of the components of the zone is fixed;  the distribution of the radiative part of heat flow to or from internal sources is uniform over the inside surfaces of the room elements;  the long-wave radiative and the convective heat transfers at the internal surface of each component are treated separately;  the angular dependence of solar transmission properties of glazing is accounted for based on manufacturers information, or alternatively a constant reduction factor of 0,9 has to be used;  movable shading and external shading are taken into account according to prEN ISO 13790;  the heat transfer through the ground floor (including floor-wall connections) shall be treated according to the dynamic calculation procedure given in prEN ISO 13370. NOTE This list is not necessarily exhaustive, depending on the building features and applications. 6 Data requirement 6.1 General For evaluating the energy needs of the building, the following information is required:  the hourly climatic data of the location for a complete reference year;  the descriptors of the building envelope components including thermal bridges (area and geometry, orientation, exposure, boundary conditions, thermophysical parameters, solar optical properties of windows systems and external shading according to prEN ISO 13790);  the hourly profiles of the internal temperature set-point;  the hourly profiles of the ventilation and infiltration rate;



EN 15265:2007 (E) 10  the hourly profile of the convective and radiative heat flows due to lighting, occupants, internal equipment and appliances;  the characteristics of the thermal system (convective or radiative) and maximum heating and cooling capacity. 6.2 Climatic data For a location with a given latitude and longitude the following hourly climatic data are required:  external air temperature;  the intensity of solar radiation (direct normal and diffuse horizontal);  the external radiant temperature (sky and surroundings);  the ground albedo. NOTE External air moisture content and wind velocity are not directly needed here but might be required for evaluating the infiltration rate and the system behaviour. The climatic data set used for the validation tests in this European Standard is given in Annex A. 6.3 Surface heat transfer coefficients The following values shall be used: a) convective surface heat transfer coefficients:  external surface
hc,e = 17,5 W/(m2⋅K);  internal surface of no-heating or no-cooling component
hc,i = 2,5 W/(m2⋅K);  internal surface of cooling or heating component:  vertical:
hc,i = 2,5 W/(m2⋅K);  horizontal (heat flow upwards)
hc,i = 5,0 W/(m2⋅K);  horizontal (heat flow downwards)
hc,i = 0,7 W/(m2⋅K); b) long-wave radiative heat transfer coefficients (to sky and surroundings):  internal surface
hlr,i = 5,5 W/(m2⋅K);  external surface
hlr,e = 5,5 W/(m2⋅K). NOTE Given values are typical for high emissivity ε = 0,9 and Tm = 300 K. For low emissivity surfaces, guidance can be found in Annex A of prEN ISO 6946.



EN 15265:2007 (E) 11 6.4 Solar distribution Solar to air factor fsa The solar to air factor, fsa, is the fraction of the radiation entering through a glazing which is immediately delivered as a heat flow to the internal air. This fraction depends on the presence of internal elements with very low thermal capacity as carpets, furniture, etc. It is assumed to be time independent and it should be defined on a national basis: alternatively the value of fsa = 0,1 may be used. Solar loss factor flf The solar loss factor, flf, is the fraction of the solar radiation entering through a glazing which is reflected back outside. It depends on the geometrical characteristics and solar properties of the glazing system, the exposure of the window, the solar angles and the room geometry. It is assumed to be time independent. Values of flf should be defined on a national basis: alternatively the solar loss factor may be neglected (flf = 0). Solar distribution factor fdf The heat flow rate due to the solar radiation entering through a glazing is absorbed by the internal surface of each room element. According to the assumptions of Clause 5, the distribution of the solar radiation is time independent. The distribution factor is defined, for each surface, as the fraction of the solar shortwave radiation absorbed by that surface. For the purposes of this European Standard, the distribution factors shall be calculated using the expessions in Table 1 as a function the area of the envelope elements. Table 1 — Solar distribution factors fdf Floor Vertical walls Ceiling Window Af /At Awa /At Ac /At 0
Af
is the floor area; Awa is the sum of all vertical wall areas except windows; Ac
is the ceiling area; At
is the total area except window; At = Af + Awa + Ac. 6.5 Air ventilation and air infiltration 6.5.1 General External air in the form of infiltration and ventilation provides a special type of load which is imposed on the conditioned space or the system. Ventilation is supplied to meet air purity and odour standards, while infiltration arises from controlled or uncontrolled leakage around doors and windows or through walls. 6.5.2 Infiltration Infiltration is caused by a greater air pressure on the exterior of the building than on the interior. The quantity of the infiltrated air depends on the pressure difference; the number, the length and the width of the perimeter gaps of windows and doors; and the nature of the flow in the cracks or gaps.



EN 15265:2007 (E) 12 6.5.3 Ventilation Ventilation air is introduced for human occupancy. In air conditioning systems air ventilation may be provided directly from outside (external air ventilation) or by handling central air. For ventilation air directly from the outside the inlet temperature is equal to the external air temperature. For air treated in a central system the inlet temperature shall be fixed according to the characteristics of the system according to EN 15241 and EN 15242. 6.6 Internal load For calculation of the internal loads the input data should include the convective and radiative portion of heat flow from lighting, people, internal equipment. The convective portion of the energy emanating from the internal sources affects the air temperature immediately. The radiative portion affects the operative temperature after it has been absorbed by walls, floor and furniture and has warmed them to a temperature that is higher than the air temperature. This absorbed energy stored by the structure contributes to the space heating or cooling load after a time lag. 6.7 Internal design temperature The internal design temperature in general is represented by the air temperature as the system control maintains the internal air temperature within the limit imposed by the thermostat and the maximum load capacity of the system. For systems controls maintaining operative temperature, the internal design temperature shall be the operative temperature. 6.8 Heating and cooling system device 6.8.1 General The following heating and cooling systems are considered:  convective device;  surface device;  both convective device and surface device. 6.8.2 Convective device Convective devices are emitting devices with negligible radiative effect (i.e. fan coil or air inlet). In this situation the room heating or cooling load is represented by the heating or cooling flow rate to be provided to or removed from the space for maintaining the prescribed internal conditions defined by the system control. If the heating or cooling is provided by an air mass flow rate am& at the prescribed inlet temperature θil, the room heating or cooling load is related to the air mass characteristics as follows: )(ia,ilacθθΦ−=pcm& (1) where am& is the air mass flow rate; cp is the specific heat capacity of the air; θil is the air inlet temperature of the convective device; θa,i is the room air temperature.



EN 15265:2007 (E) 13 6.8.3 Cooling or heating surface device With a cooling and/or heating surface device
the heat flow is provided to or removed from the space by the surface of the device by convection and radiation. In this case the heating or cooling load is the total heat flow rate to be provided or removed by the surface of the heated or cooled element (comprising heat exchange with adjacent internal and external environments and stored heat variation) in order to maintain the prescribed internal conditions. The room load, positive for heating and negative for cooling, is then given by: isr,ic,ilr,bLΦΦΦΦΦ+++= (2) where Φb is the heat flow rate backwards (it can be by conduction if the emitter is directly connected with the envelope, or by convection and long-wave radiation if the heating or cooling element is a suspended surface); Φlr,i is the heat flow rate by long-wave radiation; Φc,i is the heat flow rate by convection to the internal air; Φsr,i is the heat flow rate due to the short-wave radiation absorbed by the surface. 7 Report of the calculation 7.1 General The calculation report shall include the input data and the result of the calculation. 7.2 Input data For evaluating hourly energy requirements of the building with a room by room calculation, the following information is required: a) the hourly climatic data of the location over a complete reference year; b) the descriptors of the envelope elements (area, exposure, boundary conditions, thermophysical parameters, solar factor); c) the schedule of the internal temperature set-point (air or operative temperature); d) the hourly profile of the ventilation and infiltration rates; e) the scheduled values of the convective and radiative heat flows due to lighting, occupants, internal equipment, appliances; f) the characteristics of the thermal system (convective and/or radiative) and maximum heating and cooling capacity.
