1 Scope
This document specifies inspection procedures for the assessment of energy performance
of existing boilers and heating systems.
Heat generators types covered by this standard are:
-
— boilers for heating, domestic hot water or both;
-
— gas, liquid, solid fuel fired combustion boilers;
-
— electrically driven and gas driven heat pumps;
-
— thermal solar systems for domestic hot water, heating or both;
-
— other heat generators types, such as cogeneration units.
Parts of heating systems covered by this standard are:
-
— heat generators, including generation control;
-
— heating distribution network, including associated components and controls;
-
— heating emitters, including components and controls;
-
— space heating control system;
-
— heat storage and associated components;
-
— domestic hot water production system.
This standard covers issues related to energy conservation and environmental performance.
Table 1 shows the relative position of this standard within the set of EPB standards in the context of the modular structure as set out in EN ISO 52000‑1.
NOTE 1 In prCEN 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 2 The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard may cover more than one module and one module may be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance a simplified and a detailed method respectively. See also Clause 2 and Tables A.1 and B.1.
