BS ISO 16956:2015

This standard BS ISO 16956:2015 Thermal performance in the built environment. Determination of air flow rate in building applications by field measuring methods is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.120.10 Thermal insulation of buildings

In the cooling and heating loads of a building, the air taken in from outside account for a large portion of the entire load; in order to estimate this load, it is necessary to correctly grasp the air flow rate of ventilation and air-conditioning systems. This International Standard stipulates the methods for measuring the rate of air flow through the ducts in a steadily operating ventilation and air-conditioning system and in the air control ports including air diffuser, suction opening, and exhaust opening.
