PD CEN/TR 15500-2:2016

What is PD CEN/TR 15500-2 – Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning applications for buildings about?

PD CEN/TR 15500-2 is the second part of an international multi-series standard that covers the energy performance of Buildings.

PD CEN/TR 15500-2 provides a test method for the compliance of controllers with the specified control accuracy in EN 15500-1:2016.

PD CEN/TR 15500-2 consists of the following elements:

• Testing procedures
• Test facilities description: gives a description of the different equipment pertaining to the bench, their functions, requirements, and specifications
• Description of the simulator gives details about the simulator framework, user interfaces, models layout, and the running of the tests
• The time parameters for the test procedures

Note: PD CEN/TR 15500-2 contains information to support the correct understanding, use and national adaption of prEN 15500-1:2016.

Who is PD CEN/TR 15500-2 – Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning applications for buildings for?

PD CEN/TR 15500-2 on heating, ventilating and air conditioning applications for buildings is useful for:

• Architecture designing teams
• Building construction and maintenance managers
• Electrical supply management teams
• Product development teams/innovation teams
• Quality control personnel

Why should you use PD CEN/TR 15500-2 – Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning applications for buildings?

The quantity of energy utilized by a building each year is referred to as its energy performance. It varies depending on the type of structure, whether it is more or less energy-intensive, as well as its functioning and energy infrastructure.

The heating, ventilating, and air conditioning energy performance of buildings contributes to the performance of buildings. The heating, ventilating, and air conditioning performance has a tendency to decline over time if not actively checked, maintained, and adapted to the actual use of the building.

Therefore, PD CEN/TR 15500-2 provides you with the test methods for verifying and regulating the performances of these heating, ventilating, and air conditioning applications used in buildings. It measures the room temperature by the temperature sensor of a controller which commands then the HVAC terminal system in the room, via an actuator e.g., actuator/valve combination for water systems.

PD CEN/TR 15500-2 lays out the procedures that can be followed easily by the users in order to control the energy performance of these heating, ventilating, and air conditioning applications in compliance with international standards. It also contributes to saving energy by helping the users to avoid the unnecessary use of these temperature controlling applications when their requirements are fulfilled.
