Description of BS EN 1264-4:2021 2021
The ENÂ 1264 series gives guidelines
for surface embedded heating and cooling systems installed in
buildings, residential and non-residential (e.g. office, public,
commercial and industrial buildings) and focuses on systems
installed for the purpose of thermal comfort.
The ENÂ 1264 series gives guidelines
for water based heating and cooling systems embedded into the
enclosure surfaces of the room to be heated or to be cooled. It
also specifies the use of other heating media instead of water, as
appropriate.
The ENÂ 1264 series specifies
standardized product characteristics by calculation and testing the
thermal output of heating for technical specifications and
certification. For the design, construction and operation of these
systems, see ENÂ 1264?3 and ENÂ 1264?4 for the types A, B,
C, D, H, I and J. For the types E, F and G, see the ENÂ ISOÂ 11855 series.
The systems specified in The ENÂ 1264 series are adjoined to
the structural base of the enclosure surfaces of the building,
mounted directly or with fixing supports. The ENÂ 1264 series does not specify
ceiling systems mounted in a suspended ceiling with a designed open
air gap between the system and the building structure which allows
the thermally induced circulation of the air. The thermal output of
these systems can be determined according to the ENÂ 14037 series and ENÂ 14240.
ENÂ 1264?4 specifies uniform
requirements for the design and the construction of heating and
cooling floor, ceiling and wall structures to ensure that the
heating/cooling systems are suited to the particular
application.
The requirements specified by the ENÂ 1264 series apply only to
the components of the heating/cooling systems which are part of the
heating/cooling system. ENÂ 1264?4 does not cover other
elements which are not part of the heating/cooling system.
