What is PD CEN/TR 16798-4 - Ventilation for buildings about?
PD CEN/TR 16798-4 is the fourth part of the multi-series standard that applies to the design 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, which are relevant for such systems.
PD CEN/TR 16798-4 refers to EN 16798-3. It contains information to support the correct understanding and use of EN 16798-3.
Note:
PD CEN/TR 16798-4 does not contain any normative provision.
Who is PD CEN/TR 16798-4 - Ventilation for buildings for?
PD CEN/TR 16798-4 on the energy performance of ventilation for buildings - Interpretation of the requirements in EN 16798-3 is useful for:
- Architects
- Ventilation and air conditioning systems manufacturers
- Civil engineers
- Design engineers
- HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) engineers
- Builders
- Constructors/contractors
- Regulatory authorities of EPB
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 16798-4 - Ventilation for buildings?
PD CEN/TR 16798-4 accompanies the EPB standard on performance requirements for ventilation and room-conditioning systems. It relates to EN 16798-3, which forms part of a set of standards related to the evaluation of the energy performance of buildings (EPB).
PD CEN/TR 16798-4 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 internal environment, relevant parameters of the indoor environment and definitions of design and performances data
Briefly, PD CEN/TR 16798-4 provides guidance to EN 16798-3 on ventilation, air-conditioning and room-conditioning systems that will help you to achieve a comfortable and healthy indoor environment in all seasons with acceptable installation and running costs.
