ANNEX VIIU.K. Measurements and calculations

1.For the purposes of compliance and verification of compliance with the requirements of this Regulation, measurements and calculations shall be made using [F1designated standards], or using other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods that take into account the generally recognised state-of-the-art methods. They shall meet the conditions and technical parameters set out in points 2 to 6.U.K.

2. General conditions for measurements and calculations U.K.

(a)For the purposes of the measurements set out in points 3 to 7, the indoor ambient temperature shall be set at 20 °C.U.K.

(b)For the purposes of the calculations set out in points 3 to 7, electricity consumption shall be multiplied by a conversion coefficient CC of 2,5, unless the annual electricity consumption is expressed in final energy for the end-user, as set out in points 3(b), 4(g), 5(e) and 6.U.K.

(c)For heaters equipped with supplementary heaters, the measurement and calculation of rated heat output, seasonal space heating energy efficiency, water heating energy efficiency, sound power level and emissions of nitrogen oxides shall take account of the supplementary heater.U.K.

(d)Declared values for rated heat output, seasonal space heating energy efficiency, water heating energy efficiency, annual energy consumption and sound power level shall be rounded to the nearest integer.U.K.

3. Seasonal space heating energy efficiency and consumption of boiler space heaters, boiler combination heaters and cogeneration space heaters U.K.

(a)The seasonal space heating energy efficiency ηs shall be calculated as the seasonal space heating energy efficiency in active mode ηson , corrected by contributions accounting for temperature controls, auxiliary electricity consumption, standby heat loss, ignition burner power consumption (if applicable) and, for cogeneration space heaters, corrected by adding the electrical efficiency multiplied by a conversion coefficient CC of 2,5.U.K.

(b)The annual energy consumption QHE in kWh in terms of final energy and/or in GJ in terms of GCV shall be calculated as the ratio of the reference annual heating demand and the seasonal space heating energy efficiency.U.K.

4. Seasonal space heating energy efficiency and consumption of heat pump space heaters and heat pump combination heaters U.K.

(a)For establishing the rated coefficient of performance COPrated or rated primary energy ratio PERrated , or the sound power level, the operating conditions shall be the standard rating conditions set out in Table 9 and the same declared capacity for heating shall be used.U.K.

(b)The active mode coefficient of performance SCOPon for average, colder and warmer climate conditions shall be calculated on the basis of the part load for heating Ph(Tj), the supplementary capacity for heatingsup(Tj) (if applicable), and the bin-specific coefficient of performance COPbin(Tj) or bin-specific primary energy ratio PERbin(Tj), weighted by the bin-hours for which the bin conditions apply, using the following conditions:U.K.

(c)The reference annual heating demand QH shall be the design load for heating Pdesignh for average, colder and warmer climate conditions, multiplied by the annual equivalent active mode hours HHE of 2 066, 2 465 and 1 336 for average, colder and warmer climate conditions, respectively.U.K.

(d)The annual energy consumption QHE shall be calculated as the sum of:U.K.

(e)The seasonal coefficient of performance SCOP or seasonal primary energy ratio SPER shall be calculated as the ratio of the reference annual heating demand QH and the annual energy consumption QHE .U.K.

(f)The seasonal space heating energy efficiency ηs shall be calculated as the seasonal coefficient of performance SCOP divided by the conversion coefficient CC or the seasonal primary energy ratio SPER, corrected by contributions accounting for temperature controls and, for water-/brine-to-water heat pump space heaters and heat pump combination heaters, the electricity consumption of one or more ground water pumps.U.K.

(g)The annual energy consumption QHE in kWh in terms of final energy and/or GJ in terms of GCV shall be calculated as the ratio of the reference annual heating demand QH and the seasonal space heating energy efficiency ηs .U.K.

5. Water heating energy efficiency of combination heaters U.K.

The water heating energy efficiency ηwh of a combination heater shall be calculated as the ratio between the reference energy Qref and the energy required for its generation under the following conditions:

(a)

measurements shall be carried out using the load profiles set out in Table 15;

(b)

measurements shall be carried out using a 24-hour measurement cycle as follows:

  • 00:00 to 06:59: no water draw-off;

  • from 07:00: water draw-offs according to the declared load profile;

  • from end of last water draw-off until 24:00: no water draw-off;

(c)

the declared load profile shall be the maximum load profile or the load profile one below the maximum load profile;

(d)

for heat pump combination heaters, the following additional conditions apply:

  • heat pump combination heaters shall be tested under the conditions set out in Table 9;

  • heat pump combination heaters which use ventilation exhaust air as the heat source shall be tested under the conditions set out in Table 11;

(e)

the annual electricity consumption AEC in kWh in terms of final energy shall be calculated as daily electricity consumption Qelec in kWh in terms of final energy multiplied by 220;

(f)

the annual fuel consumption AFC in GJ in terms of GCV shall be calculated as daily fuel consumption Qfuel multiplied by 220.

6. Conditions for measurements and calculations of solar devices U.K.

The solar collector, solar hot water storage tank and pump in the collector loop (if applicable) shall be tested separately. Where the solar collector and solar hot water storage tank cannot be tested separately, they shall be tested in combination.

The results shall be used for the determination of the standing loss S and the calculations of the collector efficiency ηcol , the annual non-solar heat contribution Qnonsol for the load profiles M, L, XL and XXL under the average climate conditions set out in Tables 13 and 14, and the annual auxiliary electricity consumption Qaux in kWh in terms of final energy.
