UNE-EN 16798-3:2018

This European Standard applies to the design and implementation of ventilation, air conditioning and room conditioning systems for non-residential buildings subject to human occupancy, excluding applications like industrial processes. It focuses on the definitions of the various parameters that are relevant for such systems. The guidance for design given in this standard and accompanying TR 13779 are mainly applicable to mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation systems. Natural ventilation systems or natural parts of hybrid ventilation systems are not covered by this standard. Reference is made to the Technical Report for informative guidance on the design of such systems.Applications for residential ventilation are not dealt with in this standard. Performance of ventilation systems in residential buildings are dealt with in EN 15665 and CEN/TR 14788. The classification uses different categories. For some values, examples are given and, for requirements, typical ranges with default values are presented. The default values given in this standard are not normative as such, and should be used where no other values are specified. Classification should always be appropriate to the type of building and its intended use, and the basis of the classification should be explained if the examples given in the standard are not to be used. NOTEDifferent standards may express the categories for the same parameters in a different way, and also the category symbols may be different.
