3.1
heat loss
emissions within the heating system as losses through the building envelope due to non-uniform temperature distribution, control (13) inefficiencies and losses of emitters embedded in the building structure
3.2
cooling loss
emissions within the cooling system as losses through the building envelope due to non-uniform temperature distribution, control inefficiencies and losses of emitters embedded in the building structure
3.3
control
self-acting devices with and without auxiliary energy to keep a physical condition such as temperature, humidity, etc. close to set-point
5 Description of the method
5.1 Output of the method
The method described in this document calculates:
— energy losses (heating and cooling) Q em,ls in kWh;
— auxiliary energy: heat/cooling emission W em in kWh;
— room temperature θ int,inc in °C.
The time step of the output can be:
— hourly;
— monthly;
— yearly;
according to the time step of the input.
5.2 General description of the method
The energy performance is assessed by values of the increased space temperatures due to heat and cooling emission system inefficiencies.
The method is based on an analysis of the following characteristics of a space heating emission system or cooling system including control:
— non-uniform space temperature distribution;
— emitters;
— emitters embedded in the building structure;
— control accuracy of the indoor temperature;
— operation of controls/controls systems and emitters.BS ISO 52031 pdf download.
