Foreword
This document (prEN 15726:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 156
“Ventilation for buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
Annex A is normative and others are informative.

1 Scope
This European Standard is applicable to measure some parameters of thermal 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 conditions 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 Normative references
This European Standard document incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other
publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the
publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any
of these publications apply to this European Standard document only when incorporated in it by
amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to
applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply:
3.1
reference point
the point where the measurements are taken
4
---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------
prEN 15726:2007 (E)
3.2
mean velocity
at a point, mean velocity is the time average velocity over the measuring period
3.3
spatial Average (or residual) velocity
it is the average value of mean velocities taken in several points in the occupied zone
3.4
spatial Maximum velocity
it is the maximum value of mean velocities taken in several points in the occupied zone
3.5
test area
is equal to the occupied zone according EN 13779
4 Test set up and conditions
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 the
continuation of the test. If this is not possible this shall be made clear in the report along with the
assumptions made.
4.1 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 internal and external loads should be reported. (actual or simulated).
4.2 Furniture
Furniture, curtains, absorbent surfaces, etc. can influence thermal or acoustic characteristics and
should therefore be as representative as possible.
4.3 Other conditions
Operational conditions of system running (VAV, 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 should not vary during the test by
more than +/- 1 K If this is not possible then the variation shall be recorded.

5 Methodology
5.1 Sampling
5.1.1 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
2
may be divided in smaller parts, usually recommended to be less than 20 m (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 into account several diffusers jets in order to cover the
effect of jet interaction.
5.2 Measurements
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 level, required measurements are indicated in Table 1.
Table 1 — Measurements required
Level 1 Level 2
Airflow rate Smoke test or any other jet Measurement (§ 5.2.1.2)
visualisation (§ 5.2.1.1)
Velocities Measurement (§ 5.2.2.2)
Temperatures At reference point (§ 5.2.3.1) Measurement (§ 5.2.3.2)
Sound pressure level Overall dBA level at the reference Octave band in order to recalculate
point, or any other point where any criteria (dB(A), dB(C), NR…)
the highest sound level can be asked (§ 5.2.4.2)
expected. (§ 5.2.4.1)
If required
Ventilation Efficiency see Annex E
5.2.1 Airflow rate
5.2.1.1 Level 1: Jet visualisation
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;
6
---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
prEN 15726:2007 (E)
to detect possible high velocity areas;
to detect possible dead zones;
Examples of common flow patterns are given in Annex B.
5.2.1.2 Level 2: Airflow rate measurements
Any method described either in CR XXXX,EN 12599 , or ISO 516
