1 SCOPE
This standard specifies methods for calculating the design heat loss and the design heat load for basic cases at the design conditions.
Basic cases comprise all buildings:
-
- with a limited room height (not exceeding 5 m);
-
- assumed to be heated to steady state conditions under the design conditions.
Examples of such buildings are: residential buildings; office and administration buildings;
schools; libraries; hospitals; recreational buildings; prisons; buildings used in
the catering trade; department stores and other buildings used for business purposes;
industrial buildings.
In the annexes, information is also given for dealing with the following special cases:
-
- high ceiling buildings or large enclosure;
-
- buildings where air temperature and mean radiant temperature differ significantly.
