NF ISO 13612-1
Heating and cooling systems in buildings - Method for calculation of the system performance and system design for heat pump systems - Part 1 : design and dimensioning
ISO 13612 is applicable to heat pumps for space heating and cooling, heat pump water heaters (HPWH), and heat pumps with combined space heating and cooling and domestic hot water production, in alternate or simultaneous operation, where the same heat pump is used for space heating and cooling and domestic hot water heating.ISO 13612-1:2014 establishes the required inputs, calculation methods, and required outputs for heat generation for space heating and domestic hot water production and control of the following heat pump systems: electrically driven vapour compression cycle (VCC) heat pumps; combustion engine-driven VCC heat pumps; thermally-driven vapour absorption cycle (VAC) heat pumps.ISO 13612-1:2014 specifies the design and dimensioning criteria for the heating and cooling systems in buildings using heat pumps alone or in combination with other heat generators. These include the following: water?water; brine?water; refrigerant?water (direct expansion systems); air?air; air?water; combined; systems driven by electricity or gas.ISO 13612-1:2014 takes into account the heating requirements of attached systems (e.g. domestic hot water, process heat) in the design of heat supply, but does not cover the design of these systems. It covers only the aspects dealing with the heat pump, the interface with the heat distribution and emission system (e.g. buffering system), the control of the whole system, and the aspects dealing with the energy source of the system.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.
The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

- The UPSELL service allows you to easily update one of your standards.
- With a single click, add a new language, the Requirements or Redline+ service and add one or more additional users.
- Whether you are in the process of acquiring a standard or it is already available in your personal space, the UPSELL service is available at every stage to help you understand it and implement it within your organization.
