Information paper on EN 15459 - Economic evaluation procedure for energy systems in buildings
Economic calculations provide a powerful incentive for undertaking energy conservation measures. The purpose of this information paper is to provide detailed information about Standard EN 15459. All of the procedural steps and relevant Articles in EN 15459 are listed to show the scope and the detail of the economic calculations that should be performed and the way in which the economic aspects, various costs and technical aspects should be considered.
Information paper P160 of CENSE European Project.
This standard presents a method for making economic calculations of the functioning of heating systems, using data from other systems that may influence the energy use of the heating system. This method can be used, in full or in part, for the following purposes:
• to consider the economic feasibility of energy conservation options in buildings;
• to compare different solutions of energy saving options in buildings (e.g. plant types, fuels);
• to evaluate the economic performance of an overall design of the building (e.g. the trade-off between the energy needs and the energy efficiency of heating systems);
• to assess the effect of possible energy conservation measures on an existing heating system, by economic calculation of the cost of the energy use with and without the energy conservation measure.
