BS EN 15726:2011EN 15726:2011 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard is applicable to measure some parameters of the
18、rmal and acoustic comfort (i.e. temperatures, air velocities) in a room with an air diffusion system. This European Standard can be used on site or in a lab for full-scale measurements. This European Standard applies to ventilation or air conditioning systems designed to maintain the comfort conditi
19、ons in buildings. It is not applicable in the case of systems for the control of industrial or other special process environments. NOTE In the latter case however, it may be referred to if the system technology is similar to that of the above mentioned ventilation and air conditioning systems. 2 Nor

24、taken 3.2 mean velocity time average velocity over the whole measuring period 3.3 spatial average velocity average value of mean velocities taken in several points in the occupied zone BS EN 15726:2011EN 15726:2011 (E) 5 3.4 spatial maximum velocity maximum value of mean velocities taken in several
25、points in the occupied zone 3.5 test area usually areas designed for human occupancy and defined as a volume of air that is confined by specified horizontal and vertical planes NOTE 1 The vertical planes are usually parallel with the walls of the room. Usually there is also a limit placed on the hei
26、ght of the occupied zone. Thus, the occupied zone in a room is that space in which the occupants are normally located and where the requirements for the indoor environment shall be satisfied. Definitions are given in EN 13779:2007, 7.2. NOTE 2 Definition of the occupied zone is dependent on the geom
27、etry and the use of the room and should be specified case by case. Occupied area, EN 13779, modified 3.6 occupied zone (for laboratory purpose) portion of the treated space geometrically limited to be no closer than 0,15 m to all walls and within a height of 1,8 m above the floor 4 Test set up and c
28、onditions 4.1 General Before any test, the air diffusion system shall be checked accordance with EN 12599 so that its performance may be recorded. If the system performance does not meet the design criteria, correction shall be considered prior to the continuation of the test. If this is not possibl
29、e this shall be made clear in the report along with the assumptions made. 4.2 Thermal loads The room should be occupied according to its expected use or thermal loads have to be simulated. This should include all internal and external loads (occupants, lights, equipment). For on site measurements in
30、ternal and external loads should be reported (actual or simulated). 4.3 Furniture Furniture, curtains, absorbent surfaces, etc. can influence thermal or acoustic characteristics and should therefore be as representative as possible. 4.4 Other conditions Operational conditions of system running (VAV,
31、 fan speed, variable geometry) and environmental conditions do have influence on results and have to be reported according to Annex A. Conditions must be stabilised as much as possible during the test. For instance, supply temperature and reference point temperature should be checked regularly and s
32、hould not vary during the test by more than +/- 1 K. If this is not possible then the variation shall be recorded. BS EN 15726:2011EN 15726:2011 (E) 6 5 Methodology 5.1 Sampling in a room The reference point will be situated in the centre of the test area at a height of 1,1 m. Large areas may be div
33、ided into smaller parts, usually recommended to be less than or equal to 20 m2(EN 12599). In this case, each smaller part shall be treated as a test area There should be enough area to ensure a correct representation of the overall and local air diffusion. It is recommended that the test area takes
34、into account several diffusers jets in order to cover the effect of jet interaction. 5.2 Measurements 5.2.1 General Different levels of measurements can be used: Level 1: easy and quick check at the reference point(s). Level 2: more detailed check. Level 1 tests have to be performed first. For each
35、level, required measurements are indicated in Table 1. Table 1 Measurements required Level 1 Level 2 Airflow rate Smoke test or any other jet visualisation (5.2.2.1) Measurement (5.2.2.2) Velocities Measurement (5.2.3.2)Temperatures At reference point (5.2.4.2) Measurement (5.2.4.3) Sound pressure l

37、alisation Jet shall be visualised either by smoke test or by any other means The objective of the visualisation is: to determine the air flow pattern in the occupied zone; to detect possible high velocity areas; BS EN 15726:2011EN 15726:2011 (E) 7 to detect possible dead zones; Examples of common fl
38、ow patterns are given in Annex B. 5.2.2.2 Level 2: Airflow rate measurements Any method described either in prEN 16211, EN 12599 or EN ISO 5167-1 (lab measurements) shall be used for the determination of airflow rates. Both supply and extract airflow rates shall be determined if applicable. Results
39、have to be compared to designed values and, if not appropriate, ventilation system shall be adjusted before continuing measurements. 5.2.3 Velocities in the occupied zone 5.2.3.1 Level 1 No measurements are required. Flow visualisation as in 5.2.2. 5.2.3.2 Level 2: measurements The measurements of l
40、ow velocities within treated spaces shall be made with a measuring device in accordance with EN 13182. Air velocities should be measured in enough points in the occupied zone to determine the velocity field in the occupied zone. To this end, two or more planes of measurements shall be chosen accordi
41、ng to Figure 1 to Figure 5. One plane has to be perpendicular to the diffuser and centred on it. Test planes must be evenly distributed in the occupied zone and spaced with a distance between 0,6 m and 4 m. They are limited by the occupied zone and shall be representative of standard occupation of t
42、he room.

44、11EN 15726:2011 (E) 11 In each plane, horizontal test positions shall be evenly spaced resulting in a minimum of five positions per plane, with a maximum spacing of 2 m between them. It is recommended to have positions at the limit of the occupied zone. In each horizontal position, velocities shall
45、be measured at three heights from the floor. The lower and upper boundaries shall be specified in accordance with EN 13779 and additionally at 1,1 m (optional 0,6 m for seated persons). However, the lower measurement point shall not be lower than 0,04 m, If average velocity in the occupied zone is t
46、o be determined, a minimum of 15 measurement points shall be used to average the values in the occupied zone. At each point, velocity measurements shall be done according to EN 13182. Where jet visualisation has shown highest velocities, the number of points might be increased in this zone in order
47、to determine better the maximum air velocity in the occupied zone. These additional points should not be used for average velocity calculations. If some positions of the described grid cannot be measured due to furniture, obstacles etc., these points should be excluded from the measurements. In this
48、 case, the position of the test planes can be slightly adapted to fit better to the occupation. For diffusers situated in a corner, velocities should be measured as in Figure 4 in a 45 plane and, if necessary, also in the plane of maximum velocity (determined by visualisation) Annex C gives further
49、details on comfort analysis with regard to intermittence and draughts. 5.2.4 Temperature measurements 5.2.4.1 General Measurements of temperatures in room shall be made by means of resistance thermometers, thermocouples or other suitable instruments as long as they are calibrated with an accuracy better than 0,25 K. The global accuracy shall be better or equal to 0,5 K. 5.2.4.2 Level 1: at reference point The air temperature at the ref
