This European Standard applies to the design and implementation of ventilation 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 its annexes are mainly applicable to mechanical
supply and exhaust ventilation systems, and the mechanical part of hybrid ventilation systems.
Applications for residential ventilation are not dealt with in this standard. Performance of ventilation
systems in residential buildings are dealt with in 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.
NOTE Different standards may express the categories for the same parameters in a different way, and also
the category symbols may be different.
