BS EN 1264-4:2021 PDF Download

BS EN 1264-4:2021 is a standard that provides uniform requirements for the design and construction of heating and cooling floor, ceiling, and wall structures to ensure that the surface-embedded heating and cooling systems are suitable for specific applications. This standard is part of the EN 1264 series, which offers guidelines for surface-embedded heating and cooling systems installed in buildings for thermal comfort purposes.

The standard specifies the use of water-based heating and cooling systems embedded into the enclosure surfaces of the building to be heated or cooled. Additionally, it also covers the use of other heating media instead of water as appropriate. The EN 1264-4 standard provides standardized product characteristics by calculation and testing the thermal output of heating to ensure technical specifications and certification.

The systems specified by the EN 1264 series are adjoined to the structural base of the enclosure surfaces of the building, mounted directly or with fixing supports. The standard does not cover ceiling systems mounted in a suspended ceiling with a designed open air gap between the system and the building structure. The thermal output of these systems can be determined according to other relevant standards.

It is important to note that the requirements specified by the EN 1264 series only apply to the components of the heating/cooling systems that are part of the heating/cooling system. EN 1264-4 does not cover other elements that are not part of the heating/cooling system.
