Foreword
This document (EN 15316-3-1:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 228 “Heating
systems in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by DS.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the
latest by April 2008.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association (Mandate M/343), and supports essential requirements of EU Directive
2002/91/EC on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD). It forms part of a series of standards aimed at
European harmonisation of the methodology for calculation of the energy performance of buildings. An
overview of the whole set of standards is given in prCEN/TR 15615.'

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.

The requirements are mainly expressed as functional requirements, i.e. requirements dealing with the function
of the system and not specifying shape, material, dimensions or the like.

The guidelines describe ways to meet the requirements, but other ways to fulfil the functional requirements
might be used if fulfilment can be proved.

Heating systems differ among the member countries due to climate, traditions and national regulations. In
some cases requirements are given as classes so national or individual needs may be accommodated.

Introduction
This European Standard is one of a number of standards that together describe methods for calculation of
system energy requirements and system efficiencies related to domestic hot water systems. In particular this
European Standard describes methods for calculation of the energy needs for domestic hot water.

The user needs to refer to other European Standards or to national documents for input data and detailed
calculation procedures not provided by this European Standard.

Only the calculation methods are normative. Values necessary to complete the calculations should be given in
a national annex. Informative values are given in informative Annex A.

1 Scope
This European Standard is part of a set of standards covering methods for calculation of system energy
requirements and system efficiencies of heating systems in buildings. In particular this European Standard is
one of a number of standards dealing with domestic hot water systems.

The scope of this specific part is to standardise the methods for determining the energy needs for domestic
hot water. This European Standard covers the domestic hot water needs in buildings.

The calculation of the energy needs for domestic hot water applies to a dwelling, a building or a zone of a
building.

In order to be coherent with calculation methods for space heating systems, emission losses representing
taps and control should be taken into account.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1
auxiliary energy
electrical energy used by technical building systems for heating, cooling, ventilation and/or domestic hot water
to support energy transformation to satisfy energy needs

NOTE 1 This includes energy for fans, pumps, electronics etc. Electrical energy input to a ventilation system for air
transport and heat recovery is not considered as auxiliary energy, but as energy use for ventilation.

NOTE 2 In EN ISO 9488, the energy used for pumps and valves is called "parasitic energy".

3.2
building
construction as a whole, including its envelope and all technical building systems, for which energy is used to
condition the indoor climate, to provide domestic hot water and illumination and other services related to the
use of the building

NOTE The term can refer to the building as a whole or to parts thereof that have been designed or altered to be used
separately.

3.3
building services
services provided by technical building systems and by appliances to provide indoor climate conditions,
domestic hot water, illumination levels and other services related to the use of the building

3.4
calculated energy rating
energy rating based on calculations of the weighted delivered and exported energy of a building for heating,
cooling, ventilation, domestic hot water and lighting

NOTE National bodies decide whether other energy uses resulting from occupants' activities such as cooking,
production, laundering etc. are included or not. If included, standard input data shall be provided for the various types of
building and uses. Lighting is always included except (by decision of national bodies) for residential buildings.

3.10
energy use for space heating or cooling or domestic hot water
energy input to the space heating or cooling system or the domestic hot water system to satisfy the energy
need for space heating or cooling (including dehumidification) or domestic hot water, respectively

NOTE If the technical building system serves several purposes (e.g. space heating and domestic hot water), it can be
difficult to split the energy use into that used for each purpose. It can be indicated as a combined quantity (e.g. energy
need for space heating and domestic hot water).

3.11
energy performance of a building
calculated or measured amount of energy delivered and exported actually used or estimated to meet the
different needs associated with a standardised use of the building, which may include, inter alia, energy used
for heating, cooling, ventilation, domestic hot water and lighting

NOTE The season lengths are used to determine the operation period of technical systems.

3.14
heat recovery
heat generated by a technical building system or linked to a building use (e.g. domestic hot water) which is
utilised directly in the related system to lower the heat input and which would otherwise be wasted (e.g.
preheating of the combustion air by flue gas heat exchanger)

3.15

boundary that includes within it all areas associated with the building (both inside and outside the building)
where energy is consumed or produced

NOTE Inside the system boundary, the system losses are taken into account explicitly, outside the system boundary
they are taken into account by the conversion factor.

3.19
system thermal loss
thermal loss from a technical building system for heating, cooling, domestic hot water, humidification,
dehumidification, or ventilation or lighting that does not contribute to the useful output of the system

NOTE 1 A system loss can become an internal heat gain for the building, if it is recoverable.

NOTE 2 Thermal energy recovered directly in the subsystem is not considered as a system thermal loss but as heat
recovery and directly treated in the related system standard.

NOTE 3 Heat dissipated by the lighting system or by other services (e.g. appliances of computer equipment) is not part
of the system thermal losses, but part of the internal heat gains.

5 Methods for calculation of energy needs for domestic hot water for different
installations

5.1 General

Four methods for calculation of the energy needs for the delivered domestic hot water are described. The
methods differ as to the level of detail assumed for the domestic hot water demand; for example whether the
conditions relating to the different uses of the domestic hot water are taken into account.

A national annex may specify which method should be used for different building types. A national annex may
also specify which method is applicable for the purpose of energy labelling or any other specific use.

The calculations are based on a daily domestic hot water requirement.

5.2 Energy needs for domestic hot water based on tapping programs

This method is characterised by the use of one or more 24-hour cycles that define a number of domestic hot
water draw-off requirements.

Tapping programs may be given in a national annex and shall identify the building type(s) for which they can
be used. The tapping programs shall include the energy content of each draw-off, the corresponding delivery
temperature and the appropriate flow rate.

For single-family dwellings, the tapping programs detailed in EN 13203-2 should be used. These are given in
Annex A. Reference should be made to EN 13203-2 for a full explanation of these tapping programs.

9
BS EN 15316-3-1:2007
EN 15316-3-1:2007 (E)

NOTE For this application, units are MJ/day, i.e. tapping program 1: 2 100 kWh/day ~ 7 560 MJ/day, tapping program
2: 5 845 kWh/day ~ 21 042 MJ/day, and tapping program 3: 11 655 kWh/day ~ 41 958 MJ/day.

The weekly, monthly or annual energy needs for domestic hot water are obtained by multiplying the energy
needs per day by the appropriate number of days. A national annex may indicate that a combination of
tapping programs may be used for these calculations.

5.3 Energy needs for domestic hot water based on required volume

5.3.1 General

This method is characterised by calculation of the required daily volume of domestic hot water.

The energy need for the domestic hot water delivered to the user QW depends on the volume delivered and
the water temperatures. The energy need is calculated by:

QW = 4.182 ∗ VW ,day ∗ (θW ,del − θW , 0 ) (MJ/day) (1)

where
3
VW ,day volume of domestic hot water delivered per day at specified temperatures, m /day;

θW ,del specified domestic hot water delivery temperature, °C;

θW , 0 cold water supply temperature, °C.

5.3.2 Domestic hot water delivery temperature

The required domestic hot water delivery temperature depends on the use. In order to achieve a consistent
basis for the calculations, values can be provided in a national annex. In the absence of a national annex, a
default delivery temperature as given in Annex B may be applied.

5.3.3 Cold water supply temperature

In some countries, variations in cold water supply temperature are sufficient to have a significant affect on the
energy requirement for domestic hot water. National values can be applied to take local variations into
account, and more than one set of temperature values can be applied to reflect differences in cold water
supply temperature in different geographical areas.

National values should be provided in a national annex.

In the absence of a national annex, a default cold water supply temperature as given in Annex B may be
applied.

5.3.4 Domestic hot water volume

5.3.4.1 General

The volume of domestic hot water, VW ,day , is determined by the type of building and its use, and is calculated
by:

VW , f ,day ∗ f
VW ,day = 3
(m /day) (2)
1000

10
 BS EN 15316-3-1:2007
EN 15316-3-1:2007 (E)

where

VW , f ,day litres per unit per day of domestic hot water at θW ,del ;

f number of units to be taken into account.

The values of VW , f ,day and f depend on:

 type of building;

 type of activity carried out within the building;

 use of a zone within a building, where more than one activity is carried out;

 standard or class of activity, such as the category of a hotel (number of stars) or the class of catering
establishment.

Alternatively, the floor area may be used for factor f in Equation (2) with corresponding values of VW , f ,day .

National values for VW , f ,day and factor f should be provided in a national annex. If a national annex is not
provided or does not include these values, default values given in Annex B may be applied.

5.3.4.2 Single family dwellings

The values of VW , f ,day for single family dwellings may be given in a national annex. The corresponding value
of factor f is the floor area of the dwelling.

Alternatively, the value of VW , f ,day can be calculated. Calculations of VW , f ,day take into account the
requirements of smaller dwellings, where the domestic hot water requirement is larger on a floor area basis
than it is for larger dwellings. The value of VW , f ,day is calculated by:

x ∗ Ln( f ) − y
VW , f ,day = 2
l/m per day if f > threshold level (3)
f

VW , f ,day = z 2
l/m per day if minimum level < f < threshold level (4)

where x , y and z are constants.

Values for x , y and z as well as for the threshold level and minimum level of factor f may be given in a
national annex. If a national annex is not provided or does not include these values, informative values given
2
in Annex B may be applied. These values are based on a domestic hot water requirement in litres per m per
day at θW ,del .

National regulations may require the domestic hot water requirements for single-family dwellings to be
calculated separately for the kitchen and the bathroom.

5.3.5 Time periods

The weekly, monthly or annual energy needs for domestic hot water are obtained by multiplying the energy
needs per day by the appropriate number of days. If different cold water supply temperatures are used for the

11
BS EN 15316-3-1:2007
EN 15316-3-1:2007 (E)

calculations, determination of the weekly, monthly or annual energy needs for domestic hot water is based on
the number of days associated with each cold water supply temperature used. For this purpose, the number of
days associated with each cold water supply temperature used should be provided in a national annex.

5.4 Energy needs for domestic hot water based directly on floor area

This method is characterised by the assumption that there is a linear relationship between the energy needs
for domestic hot water and the floor area of the building.

In this case, the energy need for domestic hot water QW may be calculated by:

QW = QW , A,day ∗ A (MJ/day) (5)

where

2
QW , A,day is a specific energy need for domestic hot water in MJ per m per day based on a defined water
delivery temperature (e.g. 60 °C) and a defined cold water supply temperature (e.g. 10 °C);

2
A specified floor area, m .

This approach may only be used if values for QW , A,day are given in a national annex. The national annex shall
also indicate whether the specified floor area to be applied is the net area or gross area of the building.

The weekly, monthly or annual energy needs for domestic hot water are obtained by multiplying the energy
needs per day by the appropriate number of days.

5.5 Tabulated energy needs for domestic hot water

This method is characterised by the assumption that the energy needs for domestic hot water is related to the
building type and use.

The energy needs for domestic hot water on a daily basis can be tabulated against a single parameter or
multiple parameters depending on:

 type of building;

 type of activity carried out within the building;

 use of a zone within a building, where more than one activity is carried out;

 standards or class of activity, such as the category of a hotel (number of stars) or the class of catering
establishment.

The table should be provided in a national annex.

The weekly, monthly or annual energy needs for domestic hot water are obtained by multiplying the energy
needs per day by the appropriate number of days.
