EN 15232-3 Verification of Energy Savings by Controls
The EN 15232-3 standard provides a framework for verifying the energy savings achieved through advanced control systems in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) installations. This service is particularly relevant to quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams who seek to ensure that their HVAC equipment meets stringent energy efficiency requirements.
The standard focuses on the verification of claimed energy savings due to controls by comparing the actual performance of a system with a reference system under identical conditions. This process ensures accuracy and consistency in measuring the impact of control systems on overall energy consumption, which is critical for compliance with international standards such as ISO 50001.
Our laboratory specializes in performing these verifications using state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies that adhere strictly to EN 15232-3. Our team of experts ensures that the testing process is comprehensive, replicating real-world conditions as closely as possible to provide reliable data. This service not only aids compliance but also helps organizations improve their operational efficiency and reduce carbon footprints.
Testing under this standard typically involves setting up a controlled environment where both the reference system (without advanced controls) and the test system (with control systems in place) operate side by side. The performance of each is monitored over an extended period to capture accurate data on energy consumption. This approach allows for a precise comparison, ensuring that any observed savings can be attributed accurately to the control systems.
The methodology also includes detailed documentation and reporting based on ISO 50001 guidelines, which are essential for compliance verification. Our reports go beyond mere numbers; they provide actionable insights into how specific control strategies contribute to energy efficiency improvements. This level of detail is invaluable for R&D teams looking to refine their designs or procurement teams aiming to source the most efficient equipment.
Our commitment to accuracy and precision ensures that our clients can trust the results obtained from EN 15232-3 verifications. We understand the importance of this service in today’s regulatory environment, where energy efficiency is a key consideration for businesses across various sectors. By offering robust testing services aligned with international standards, we help organizations stay ahead of the curve and meet their sustainability goals.
