Full title and description

Building environment design — List of test procedures for heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and domestic hot water equipment related to energy efficiency. This technical report lists and organises internationally recognised test and rating procedures used to determine the energy performance of space‑conditioning and domestic hot water systems and associated equipment.

Abstract

ISO/TR 16822:2016 provides a consolidated listing of testing and rating procedures applicable to heating, ventilating, air‑conditioning (HVAC) and domestic hot water (DHW) equipment for the purpose of assessing energy efficiency. Procedures are presented in ways that help designers, manufacturers, test laboratories and regulators identify appropriate test methods for different equipment types and rating intents.

Scope

The report is applicable to space‑conditioning and water‑heating equipment. It lists, organises and cross‑references test and rating procedures relevant to determining energy efficiency for a range of HVAC and domestic hot water products and systems. It does not itself prescribe new test methods but serves as a reference directory to existing internationally recognised procedures.

Key topics and requirements

• Compilation of test and rating procedures relevant to HVAC and domestic hot water equipment.
• Organization of procedures by equipment type and by purpose (e.g., seasonal efficiency, input/output performance, standby losses).
• Reference mapping to internationally recognised standards and test methods maintained under ISO/TC 205 and related committees.
• Guidance to help users select appropriate procedures for energy‑efficiency characterization and comparisons.
• Informative—not normative—listing intended to aid designers, manufacturers, laboratories and regulators.

Typical use and users

Used as a reference by HVAC and building‑environment designers, equipment manufacturers, test laboratories, certification and rating bodies, energy assessors, and policy or regulatory authorities seeking a concise index of relevant test procedures for energy‑efficiency assessment of heating, ventilation, air‑conditioning and domestic hot water equipment.

Related standards

Produced under the work of ISO/TC 205 (building environment design); related to other ISO and regional standards covering HVAC test methods, energy performance of buildings, and equipment‑specific rating standards. Users commonly consult the TR alongside the specific test standards it references for full test method details.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/TR 16822:2016 is a technical report that lists and organises test and rating procedures used to evaluate the energy efficiency of heating, ventilating, air‑conditioning and domestic hot water equipment.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers a consolidated listing and organisation of internationally recognised test and rating procedures applicable to space‑conditioning and water‑heating equipment; it acts as a reference directory rather than defining new normative test methods.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: HVAC and building designers, equipment manufacturers, test laboratories, rating and certification bodies, energy assessors and regulators use the TR to find and select appropriate test procedures for energy‑efficiency assessment.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As of the latest catalogue entries, ISO/TR 16822:2016 remains published (Edition 1, July 2016) and has not been listed as superseded or withdrawn in the ISO catalogue. Users should consult the ISO catalogue or their national standards body for any subsequent reviews or status updates.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is a standalone ISO Technical Report produced under ISO/TC 205 (Building environment design). While not numbered as part of a multi‑part series, it is intended to be used in conjunction with the specific normative ISO and regional standards it references.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: HVAC, domestic hot water, energy efficiency, test procedures, rating, building environment, ISO/TR 16822.
