本欧洲标准是供热和家用热水系统的能源使用和能源性能计算的总体框架。该标准仅涉及由加热，家用热水和冷却所需的水基系统（例如吸收式制冷机）提供的热量。 它规定了如何使用与相应标准中定义的方法对应的计算模块（见表2）执行整个安装的计算。 它涉及诸如运行条件计算和能源绩效指标等常见问题。 它的输入和输出标准化，以实现一个通用的欧洲计算方法。 通过比较系统损耗和能源效率指标，可以对采暖和家庭热水系统和子系统进行能源分析，包括控制（排放，分配，储存，生成）。 性能分析允许系统和子系统之间的比较，并且可以评估每个子系统对建筑物的能量性能的影响。 加热子系统的每个部分的系统损耗的计算在后续标准中定义。 通风系统不包括在本标准中（例如与他平衡的系统

This European Standard is the general frame for the calculation of the energy use and the energy performance of heating and domestic hot water systems. This standards is only dealing with the heat, provided by water based systems, needed for heating, domestic hot water and cooling (e.g. absorption chiller). It specifies how to perform the calculation of the entire installation using the calculation modules (see Table 2) corresponding to the methods defined in the respective standards. It deals with common issues like operating conditions calculation and energy performance indicators. It standardises the inputs and outputs in order to achieve a common European calculation method. It allows the energy analysis of the heating and Domestic hot water systems and sub-systems including control (emission, distribution, storage, generation) by comparing the system losses and by defining energy performance indicators. The performance analysis allows the comparison between systems and sub-systems and makes possible to evaluate the impact of each sub-system on the energy performance of a building. The calculation of the system losses of each part of the heating sub-systems is defined in subsequent standards. Ventilation systems are not included in this standard (e.g. balanced systems with heat recovery), but if the air is preheated or an air heating system is installed, the systems providing the heat to the AHU (Air Handling Unit) are covered by this standard. Table 2 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.
