UNE-EN 1264-1:2022

EN 1264 covers 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.EN 1264 applies to water based heating and cooling systems embedded into the enclosure surfaces of the room to be heated or to be cooled. It also applies as appropriate to the use of other heating media instead of water.EN 1264 applies to identify 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, EN ISO 11855 applies.The systems covered in EN 1264 are adjoined to the structural base of the enclosure surfaces of the building, mounted directly or with fixing supports. It does not cover 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 ISO 18566, EN 14037 and EN 14240.EN 1264-1 describes system types and characteristics of water based surface embedded radiant heating and cooling systems.
