1.1 This European Standard specifies the common methodology and the requirements for inspection of air conditioning systems in buildings for space cooling and/or heating and/or ventilation systems from an energy use standpoint to fulfil the EPBD requirements (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010/31/EU). The methodology described in this European Standard deals with indoor climate problems that may be due to the systems inspected. This European Standard applies to both residential and non-residential buildings equipped with: - air conditioning system(s) without mechanical ventilation; or - air conditioning system(s) with mechanical ventilation; or - natural and mechanical ventilation system(s). This European Standard applies to: - fixed systems; - accessible parts that contribute to the cooling and mechanical ventilation services. This European Standard is also applicable to some systems not covered by the Directive, such as: - fixed systems of less than 12 kW output; - ventilation-only systems. The inspection of systems given in this European Standard is applicable to: - all types of comfort cooling and air conditioning systems. This includes air conditioning systems of an effective rated output of less than 12 kW not covered by Directive 2010/31/EU; - all types of ventilation systems that is to say mechanical, natural, hybrid (including mechanical and natural ventilation). Parts of this European Standard are also applicable to check ventilation requirements when there is no ventilation system. The inspection of systems includes but is not limited to the following components: - reverse-cycle operation of air-conditioning equipment; - associated water and air distribution and exhaust systems that form a necessary part of the system; - controls that are intended to regulate the use of associated water and air distribution and exhaust systems. Table 1 shows the relative position of this European Standard within the EN EPBD package of standards. 1.2 This European Standard is not applicable to: - qualification of the persons or organisation in charge of inspections; - frequency of the mandatory inspection (defined on national level); - components supporting the heating function (defined in EN XXXXX and the accompanying Technical Report CEN/TR XXXXX covering the inspection of heating-only systems using boilers). 1.3 The following information can be found in other standards or technical reports: - guidance regarding features affecting the frequency and duration of inspection are given in CEN/TR XXXXX-18; - procedures and methods for the inspection of boilers and heating systems are given in EN 15378 [5].
