European foreword
This document (FprEN 15316-4-8:2016) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 228
“Heating systems and water based cooling systems in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the Formal Vote.
This document will supersede EN 15316-4-8:2011.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.

FprEN 15316-4-8:2016 (E)
Introduction
This European Standard is part of a series of standards aiming at international harmonization of the
methodology for the assessment of the energy performance of buildings, called "set of EPB standards".
All EPB standards follow specific rules to ensure overall consistency, unambiguity and transparency.
All EPB standards provide a certain flexibility with regard to the methods, the required input data and
references to other EPB standards, by the introduction of a normative template in Annex A and Annex B
with informative default choices.
For the correct use of this standard, a normative template is given in Annex A to specify these choices.
Informative default choices are provided in Annex B.
The main target group of this standard are all the users of the set of EPB standards (e.g. architects,
engineers, regulators, product manufacturers and suppliers, software developers, etc.).
Use by or for regulators: In case the standard is used in the context of national or regional legal
requirements, mandatory choices may be given at national or regional level for such specific
applications. These choices (either the informative default choices from Annex B or choices adapted to
national / regional needs, but in any case following the template of this Annex A) can be made available
as national annex or as separate (e.g. legal) document (national data sheet).
NOTE 1 So in this case:
— the regulators will specify the choices;
— the individual user will apply the standard to assess the energy performance of a building, and
thereby use the choices made by the regulators,.
Topics addressed in this standard can be subject to public regulation. Public regulation on the same
topics can override the default values in Annex B of this standard. Public regulation on the same topics
can even, for certain applications, override the use of this standard. Legal requirements and choices are
in general not published in standards but in legal documents. In order to avoid double publications and
difficult updating of double documents, a national annex may refer to the legal texts where national
choices have been made by public authorities. Different national annexes or national data sheets are
possible, for different applications.
It is expected, if the default values, choices and references to other EPB standards in Annex B are not
followed due to national regulations, policy or traditions, that:
— national or regional authorities prepare data sheets containing the choices and national or regional
values, according to the model in Annex A. In this case the national annex (e.g. NA) refers to this
text;
— or, by default, the national standards body will consider the possibility to add or include a national
annex in agreement with the template of Annex A, in accordance to the legal documents that give
national or regional values and choices.
Further target groups are users of the voluntary common European Union certification scheme for the
energy performance of non-residential buildings (EPBD art.11.9) and any other Pan EU parties wanting
to motivate their assumptions by classifying the building energy performance for a dedicated building
stock
More information is provided in the Technical Report accompanying this standard (prCEN/TR 15316-6-
9).

FprEN 15316-4-8:2016 (E)
The subjects covered by CEN/TC 228 are the following:

— design of heating systems (water based, electrical etc.);
— installation of heating systems;
— commissioning of heating systems;
— instructions for operation, maintenance and use of heating systems;
— methods for calculation of the design heat loss and heat loads;
— methods for calculation of the energy performance of heating systems.
Heating systems also include the effect of attached systems such as hot water production systems.
All these standards are systems standards, i.e. they are based on requirements addressed to the system
as a whole and not dealing with requirements to the products within the system.
Where possible, reference is made to other European or International Standards, a. o. product
standards. However, use of products complying with relevant product standards is no guarantee of
compliance with the system requirements.
This standard presents methods to take into account the energy performance of heat generation
systems based on local air heaters, radiant heaters and stoves. The calculation is based on the
performance characteristics of the products given in product standards and on other characteristics
required to evaluate the performance of the products as included in the system.
This standard covers only the heat generation function of air heaters even though air heaters, as
devices, also emit heat and include devices for space heating control. The emission and control function
and the related losses are covered by module M3-5.
This standard is meant to be used as a module within the EN EPB package of standards. Specification of
the connection of this standard with other calculation modules are given in module M3-1 and
prEN ISO 52000-1.
Default references to EPB standards other than prEN ISO 52000-1 are identified by the EPB module
code number and given in Annex A (normative template) and Annex B (informative default choice).
NOTE 2 Example of EPB module code number: M5–5, or M5–5.1 (if module M5–5 is subdivided), or M5–5/1 (if
reference to a specific clause of the standard covering M5–5.

FprEN 15316-4-8:2016 (E)
1 Scope
This European Standard is part of a series of standards on the method for calculation of system energy
requirements and system efficiencies.
The scope of this specific part is to standardize the:
— required inputs;
— calculation method;
— resulting outputs,
for space heating generation by:

— air heating systems, including control;
— overhead radiant heating systems for non-domestic use, including control; and
— stoves and local heaters for residential use.
This standard does not apply to heating systems that utilize water as a heat transfer medium.
Other heat generation systems such as boilers, heat pumps and others are covered in other sub modules
of M3-8.
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 prEN 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.

5 Description of the methods

5.1 Output of the method
The following output data are calculated by this standard for each calculation interval:
— maximum heat output during the calculation interval, QH;gen;out;max;
— actual heat output during the calculation interval QH;gen;out.
— fuel input to the heater or stove, EH;gen;in;
— recoverable generation heat losses, QH;gen;ls;rbl;
— auxiliary energy use, WH;gen;aux;
For stoves and local space heaters with a connection to a water based heating system, the following
additional data are calculated:
— actual output to a connected water based heating system QH;gen;out;w.
The calculation interval of the output data can be:

— yearly;
— monthly;
— hourly;
— bin;
and is the same as the input data calculation interval.

5.2 Alternative methods
The following calculation procedures are given in this standard:

— on/off heaters: see Clause 6;
FprEN 15316-4-8:2016 (E)
— high-low or modulating heaters: see Clause 7;
— stoves and local space heaters with or without connection to a water based heating system: see
additional specifications in Clause 8.
Which procedure to apply depends on

— the power control type, according to the identifier LRH_CTRL_POW.
— the availability of heat for a water based connection, according to the identifier LRH_WCONN.
Depending on the heater type, a different data set may be available.

The default selection criteria are given in Table B.21 and B.22.
5.3 Connection with building needs and zoning
The space heated by the heater or stove shall be determined as follows:

— if the heater or stove is the only heating appliance in a room, the entire room heating energy
demand;
— if there are several heaters in a room, consider for each heater a fraction of the load proportional to
the rated power of each individual heater (distribution rule);
— a heater or stove cannot supply heat to another room unless there is a dedicated system to transfer
heat to neighbouring rooms. This can be taken into account only if the connection covers the
capacity for the additional room.
EXAMPLE fireplace with dedicated air ducts and fan.
5.4 Application data
To guarantee consistency with the calculation procedure, application data shall be specified according
to the template given in normative Annex A.
Default data for the application of this standard is given in informative Annex B.
5.5 Using net and gross calorific values
The calculation procedure described in this module is designed for data based on net calorific values.
Input data depending on the choice on calorific values are
— efficiencies, symbol η:
— loss factors, symbol α.
If any such data are available based on gross calorific values, it shall be converted to net calorific value
reference using equations:
H s;fuel
η net = η gross (1)
H i;fuel
H s;fuel
α net = α gross (2)

NOTE 1 For standard flued heaters (not condensing) installed inside the heated space (overhead radiant tube
heaters and air heaters) αlrh;ON = αlrh;ch;on;corr (αlrh;vent;on = 0 ; αlrh;gen;env;corr = 0 ; αlrh;cond = 0).
if the burner is installed outside the heated space, then αlrh;gen;env;corr are not 0.
NOTE 2 For unflued heaters (overhead luminous heaters and overhead radiant tube heaters) installed inside
the heated space αON = αlrh;vent;on (αlrh;ch,on,corr = 0 ; αlrh;gen,env,corr = 0 ; αlrh;cond = 0).

(15)
where
θlrh,gen,air,test is the room temperature when test has been conducted, see 6.3.1.2.5;
θlrh,gen,air is the value depending on the type of appliance

nlrh,ch,on is the exponent for the load factor βlrh,cmb. See 6.3.1.2.6.
βlrh;cmb is the load factor.
NOTE βlrh;cmb raised to nch,on takes into account the reduction of losses with high intermittencies, due to a
lower average temperature of the flue gas (higher efficiency at start). An increasing value of nch,on corresponds to a
higher value of cmass,on, defined as the specific mass of the heat exchange surface between flue gas and air per kW
nominal power.
6.4.3.4 Induced ventilation heat losses αlrh,vent,ON and αlrh,vent,OFF

The temperature of the air/flue-mixture exiting the building near the roof ϑlrh;air;exh is given by:

where
ϑint is the average internal air temperature in the calculation step;
Δϑlrh;rad is the temperature difference inside the building between room (set-point) and air
temperature (building heated with radiant heaters);
Hlrh is the height of the installation room of the heater;
∇ϑint;H is the vertical gradient of internal temperature in °C/m.
NOTE Formula (18) takes into account (∇ϑint;H) the effect of vertical temperature gradient in high buildings on
additional losses for the ventilation required for devices discharging the flue into the ambient air. It takes also into
account (Δϑlrh;rad) the fact that the air temperature near the floor (area where people are staying or working) may
be lower than the required room temperature when radiant heater are used. The temperature gradient over the
height has a characteristic value depending on the heating emission system.
For standard type A systems with ventilation provided by fans which are interlocked to the burner(s)
(LRH_VENT = LRH_VENT_INTERLOCK) then:
α lrh;vent ;ON = α lrh;vent (19)
α lrh;vent ;OFF = 0 (20)
If the ventilation fan is not interlocked to the burner (LRH_VENT = LRH_VENT_YES) then:

α lrh;vent ;OFF = α lrh;vent (22)
NOTE the induced ventilation rate is assumed constant for on/off appliances, high-low appliances and
modulating appliances.

α lrh;vent ;ON = 0 (23)
α lrh;vent ;OFF = 0 (24)
6.4.3.5 Corrected envelope losses αlrh,env,corr
Corrected envelope losses αlrh,env,corr take into account the location of the generator and are given by:

where
ηlrh,cmb is the combustion efficiency on the net calorific value of the fuel defined in 6.3.1.2.12.

8.3.4 Calculation procedure
For stoves with a connection to a water based heating system, the calculation method defined in
Clause 6 (on/off heaters) is used with the following additional specifications.
— The total input power Фlrh,cmb,Pn and the efficiency to air ηlrh;cmb;air are used.
— The losses through the generator envelope αlrh;env are set to 0.
— No condensation is assumed.
— If the stove is equipped with a dedicated system to generate and distribute heated air in the
neighbouring rooms, the zone that is considered heated by the stove may include this rooms,
provided the available power is enough.
8.3.5 Specific output data calculation
After the calculation is performed, the available heat to the water QH;gen;out;w is calculated as:
Φ lrh;out ;w
Q
= H ; gen;out ;w Q H ; gen;out ;air ⋅ (80)
Φ lrh;out ;air
8.3.6 Stoves and local heaters with automatic feed control
For stoves and local heaters with automatic feed control and a connection to a water based heating
system, the maximum load factor βlrh;cmb;max is given by:
Q ( ; gen;out
β lrh;cmb;max = (81)
(
t gnr ⋅η lrh;cmb ⋅ Φ lrh;out ;w + Φ lrh;out ;air )
NOTE this is an approximate evaluation of the fact that the stove or local heater will stop either if the air or
the water output exceed the respective requirement. The limitation of the output to air is incorporated in the
calculation method. An evaluation of the required output reduction in case of excess production of heat for the
water based heating system would require iteration. This approximation stays on the safe side. The admissible
heat output to the water will be at least the integration required in the installation room, hence the limitation
based on the total output (air + water) to the installation room.

Annex A
(normative)
Template for choices, input data and references
A.1 Introduction
The template in Annex A to this standard shall be used to specify the choices between methods, the
required input data and references to other standards.
NOTE 1 Following this template is not enough to guarantee consistency of data.
NOTE 2 Informative default choices are provided in Annex B. Alternative values and choices can be imposed by
national / regional regulations. If the default values and choices of Annex B are not adopted because of the
national / regional regulations, policies or national traditions, it is expected that:
— national or regional authorities prepare data sheets containing the national or regional values and
choices, in line with the template in Annex A; or
— by default, the national standards body will add or include a national annex (Annex NA) to this
standard, in line with the template in Annex A, giving national or regional values and choices in
accordance with their legal documents.
NOTE 3 The template in Annex A is applicable to different applications (e.g. the design of a new building,
certification of a new building, renovation of an existing building and certification of an existing building) and for
different types of buildings (e.g. small or simple buildings and large or complex buildings). A distinction in values
and choices for different applications or building types could be made:
— by adding columns or rows (one for each application), if the template allows;
— by including more than one version of a Table (one for each application), numbered consecutively
as a, b, c, to For example: Table NA.3a, Table NA.3b.
— by developing different national / regional data sheets for the same standard. In case of a national
annex to the standard these will be consecutively numbered (Annex NA, Annex NB, Annex NC, to).
NOTE 4 In the section “Introduction” of a national / regional data sheet information can be added, for example
about the applicable national / regional regulations.
NOTE 5 For certain input values to be acquired by the user, a data sheet following the template of Annex A,
could contain a reference to national procedures for assessing the needed input data. For instance, reference to a
national assessment protocol comprising decision trees, tables and pre-calculations.
The shaded fields in the tables are part of the template and consequently not open for input.
A.2 References
The references, identified by the module code number, are given in a table complying with the format

Annex B
(informative)
Default choices, input data and references
B.1 Introduction
All tables in this Annex have the same lay-out as the corresponding tables in the template in Annex A.
But in this Annex B these are filled with a complete set of informative default choices, input data and
references.
NOTE 1 In future versions of this standard some of the informative default values and choices may become
normative.
NOTE 2 Using the default values will not guarantee consistency of data.
NOTE 3 In particular for the application within the context of EU Directives transposed into national legal
requirements, the values and choices can be imposed by national / regional regulations. If the values and default
choice of Annex B are not adopted because of the regulations, policies or national traditions, it is expected that:
— national or regional authorities prepare data sheets containing the choices, national or regional
input data and references, according to the template in Annex A. In this case the National Annex
(e.g. Annex NA, NB, ..) should provide a reference to these specifications;
— or, by default, the national standardization body will consider the possibility to prepare a National
Annex (e.g. Annex NA, NB, ..)complying with the template of Annex A, that provides choices,
national or regional input data and references specified in the legal documents.
NOTE 4 Where necessary for certain input values to be acquired by the user, a datasheet according to the
template of Annex A may contain a reference to national procedures for assessing the needed input data. For
instance to a national assessment protocol comprising decision trees, tables and pre-calculations.
NOTE 5 Drafting an application document according to the template in Annex A is open for different situations
e.g. design of new building, certification of new building, renovation of existing building and certification of
existing building and for different types of buildings e.g. small or simple buildings and large or complex buildings..
This can be done by developing different versions this application document. In such application document it is
possible to add information about, e.g. applicable national or regional regulations.
