DIN EN ISO 13786:2008 Thermal performance of building components - Dynamic thermal characteristics - Calculation methods (ISO 13786:2007); English version of DIN EN ISO 13786:2008-04
This International Standard specifies the characteristics related to the dynamic thermal behaviour of a
complete building component and provides methods for their calculation. It also specifies the information on
building materials required for the use of the building component. Since the characteristics depend on the way
materials are combined to form building components, this International Standard is not applicable to building
materials or to unfinished building components.
The definitions given in this International Standard are applicable to any building component. A simplified
calculation method is provided for plane components consisting of plane layers of substantially homogeneous
building materials.
Annex A specifies simpler methods for the estimation of the heat capacities in some limited cases. These
methods are suitable for the determination of dynamic thermal properties required for the estimation of energy
use. These approximations are not appropriate, however, for product characterization.
Annex B gives the basic principle and examples of applications of the dynamic thermal characteristics defined
in this International Standard.
Annex C provides information for programming the calculation method.
Annex D gives examples of calculation for a building component.
