Foreword
This prestandard has been prepared by DIN Joint Committee NA 005-56-20 GA Energetische Bewertung von
Gebäuden of the Normenausschuss Bauwesen (Building and Civil Engineering Standards Committee), which
also lead-managed the work, and Normenausschuss Heiz- und Raumlufttechnik (Heating and Ventilation
Standards Committee) with the co-operation of the Normenausschuss Lichttechnik (Lighting Technology
Standards Committee).
A prestandard is a standard which cannot be given full status, either because certain reservations still exist as
to its content, or because the manner of its preparation deviates in some way from the normal procedure.
No draft of the present prestandard has been published.
Comments on experience with this prestandard should be sent:
⎯ preferably by e-mail containing a table of the data, to nabau@din.de. A template for this table is provided
on the Internet under the URL http://www.din.de/stellungnahme;
⎯ or as hard-copy to Normenausschuss Bauwesen (NABau) im DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V.,
10772 Berlin, Germany (office address: Burggrafenstraße 6, 10787 Berlin, Germany).
The DIN V 18599 series of prestandards Energy efficiency of buildings — Calculation of the energy needs,
delivered energy and primary energy for heating, cooling, ventilation, domestic hot water and lighting consists
of the following parts:
⎯ Part 1: General balancing procedures, terms and definitions, zoning and evaluation of energy carriers
⎯ Part 2: Energy needs for heating and cooling of building zones
⎯ Part 3: Energy needs for air conditioning
⎯ Part 4: Energy need and delivered energy for lighting
⎯ Part 5: Delivered energy for heating systems
⎯ Part 6: Delivered energy for ventilation systems and air heating systems for residential buildings
⎯ Part 7: Delivered energy for air-handling and air-conditioning systems for non-residential buildings
⎯ Part 8: Energy need and delivered energy for domestic hot water systems
⎯ Part 9: Delivered and primary energy for combined heat and power plants
⎯ Part 10: Boundary conditions of use, climatic data
The DIN V 18599 series of prestandards provides a methodology for assessing the overall energy efficiency of
buildings. The calculations enable all energy quantities required for the purpose of heating, domestic hot water
heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting of buildings to be assessed.
In the described procedures, the DIN V 18599 series of prestandards also takes into account the interactive
effects of energy flows and points out the related consequences for planning work. In addition to the
calculation procedures, the use- and operation-related boundary conditions for an unbiased assessment (i.e.
4
DIN V 18599-10:2007-02
independent of the behaviour of individual users and of the local climatic data) to determine the energy need
are given.
The DIN V 18599 series of prestandards is suitable for determining the long-term energy needs of buildings or
parts of buildings as well as for assessing the possible use of renewable sources of energy in buildings. The
procedure is designed both for buildings yet to be constructed and for existing buildings, and for retrofit
measures for existing buildings.
Amendments
This prestandard differs from DIN V 18599-10:2005-07 in that it has been revised in form and content.

Introduction
When an energy balance is calculated in accordance with the DIN V 18599 series of prestandards, an
integrative approach is taken, i.e. the building, the use of the building, and the building’s technical installations
and equipment are assessed together, taking the interaction of these factors into consideration. In order to
provide a clearer structure, the DIN V 18599 series of prestandards is divided into several parts, each having
a particular focus. Figure 1 provides an overview of the topics dealt with in the individual parts of the series.
Figure 1 — Overview of the parts of DIN V 18599
1 Scope
The DIN V 18599 series of prestandards provides a methodology for calculating the overall energy balance of
buildings. The described algorithm is applicable to the calculation of energy balances for:
⎯ residential buildings and non-residential buildings;
⎯ planned or new building construction and existing buildings.
6
DIN V 18599-10:2007-02
The procedure for calculating the balances is suitable for:
⎯ balancing the energy use of buildings with partially pre-determined boundary conditions;
⎯ balancing the energy use of buildings with freely-selectable boundary conditions from the general
engineering aspect, e.g. with the objective of achieving a good comparison between calculated and
measured energy ratings.
The balance calculations take into account the energy use for:
⎯ heating,
⎯ ventilation,
⎯ air conditioning (including cooling and humidification),
⎯ heating the domestic hot water supply, and
⎯ lighting
of buildings, including the additional electrical power input (auxiliary energy) which is directly related to the
energy supply.
This document specifies the boundary conditions for residential and non-residential buildings and provides
reference climatic data for Germany. Figure 2 shows the scope of the present document as a diagram. For the
reader’s orientation, all other parts of the DIN V 18599 series of prestandards contain an illustration similar to
Figure 2 as shown here, and in which the respective energy components dealt with are shown in colour.

5 Boundary conditions of use, residential buildings

Table 3 shows guideline values which can be used as boundary conditions for energy-related assessments of
residential buildings. DIN V 18599-2, DIN V 18599-5, DIN V 18599-6 and DIN V 18599-8 contain information
on deviating boundary conditions and operating modes. The boundary conditions given in Table 3 also apply
to spaces used for residential purposes (single or multiple-family houses, as appropriate) in non-residential
buildings.
Whenever data or other results obtained using the calculations defined in the DIN V 18599 series of
prestandards are given, the boundary conditions on which the calculations were based shall also be stated.

Berechnungsverordnung: – Second German regulation on cost calculations). For simplified calculations, the net floor area (NGF
– German: Nettogrundfläche) may be assumed to be 1,1 times the heated living space.
b When calculating the reduced heating need as described in DIN V 18599-2, the “cut-off” mode shall be assumed for single-family
houses (EFH – German: Einfamilienhaus) and “set-back” mode for multiple-family houses (MFH – German: Mehrfamilienhaus).
c The lengths of the months (i.e. number of days per month) given in Table 7 shall be used as the number of usage days for
domestic hot water: dw,mth = dmth.
d The monthly energy need for domestic hot water heating, Qw,b, is calculated as follows: Qw,b=qw,b / 365 × dw,mth × Awo, in
kWh/mth.
e Only in conjunction with a mechanical supply and/or exhaust ventilation system or exhaust ventilation system with a suitable
user-independent reference variable such as humidity or CO2, but with uninterrupted operation.

DIN V 18599-10:2007-02
6 Boundary conditions of use, non-residential buildings

The following clauses of this document describe the boundary conditions of use which can be used for
guidance when making energy-related assessments of non-residential buildings where no detailed information
is available. Guideline values shall be used if no values are available that have been determined by
established means (e.g. specialist planning, measurement, or using operation data).
Table 4 specifies boundary conditions for various types of usage. The following values shall be used for the
boundary condition “minimum outdoor supply-air volume flow rate” (see Table 4, Column 19):
⎯ When using natural ventilation (e.g. windows), the values from Table 4, Column 19 shall be used.
⎯ When using mechanical ventilation, the minimum outdoor supply-air volume flow rate shall be calculated
as specified in DIN V 18599-7, Annex H and taken into account in the assessment of energy performance.
The minimum outdoor supply-air volume flow rate from Table 4, Column 19 is only to be used if the value
calculated in accordance with DIN V 18599-7, Annex H is less than the value in Table 4, Column 19.
Table 5 contains those boundary conditions which can be assumed to apply for all types of usage. The energy
need for domestic hot water is given in Table 6; either the usage dependent value (e.g. per person, employee,
bed etc.) or the area-specific value (i.e. per unit area) can be used. Note that if the area-specific values are
used, the area occupied by the main type of usage as listed in Table 4 shall be used as the reference area.
Where a certain type of usage does not utilize conditioning provided by a particular building service, the
boundary conditions for that service are not to be taken into consideration. Examples of such cases are
unheated basement storage spaces (without an internal set-point temperature or heat sources, etc.),
exhibition halls without a hot water supply or schools without cooling systems.
If a building is used for both residential and non-residential purposes (e.g. a caretaker flat in a school), the
values given in Table 3 may be taken by as the boundary conditions for residential use (single-family or
multiple-family house, as appropriate).
Annex A provides detailed data on the boundary conditions of use for the types of usage listed in Table 4.
These include the range of typical values of a number of parameters and can be used for the calculation of the
energy use of existing buildings. The corresponding data given in Table 4 are the mean values of the range
stated.
If any types of usage which are not described in this document have to be considered when assessing the
energy performance of a building (e.g. swimming baths, churches, etc. for which no guideline values can be
given owing to their wide variety of design), separate conditions can be defined for these (on the basis of the
profiles described in Annex A or in one of the listed bibliographical references, for instance). The same applies
in cases where the boundary conditions for the building being assessed deviate from those given for the types
of usage listed in Tables 4 to 6. These separately specified conditions can be documented using the form in
Annex C.
Whenever data or other results obtained using the calculations specified in the DIN V 18599 series of
prestandards are given, the boundary conditions on which the calculations were based shall also be stated.
The following gives explanatory information on the boundary conditions of use:
a) Usage times and operating times
⎯ Beginning of usage, end of usage: The times at which usage commences and ends, usually the
beginning and end of the period during which persons are present in the facility and/or during which
the facility is in operation.
⎯ Daily usage hours: Number of hours per day for which the facility or service is used. The time span
between the beginning and end of usage.
14
DIN V 18599-10:2007-02
⎯ Annual usage days: A distinction is made according to the number of usage days per week: five, six
and seven days (corresponding to 250, 300, 365 d/a respectively). Taking school holidays into
consideration, the value for schools is 200 d/a; for auditoria and lecture rooms it is 150 d/a.
⎯ Daytime usage hours per annum: The number of usage hours during which daylight is available
within the usage time in a year. This corresponds to the usage time between sunrise and sunset.
⎯ Night-time usage hours per annum: The number of usage hours during which no daylight is available
within the usage time in a year. This corresponds to the usage time between sunset and sunrise.
⎯ Daily operating hours of HVAC and cooling system: The length of time during which the HVAC and
cooling system is operated in one day. If the system is not operated around the clock, it is assumed
that it will be started up two hours before the start of usage time.
⎯ Annual operating days of HVAC, cooling and heating systems (each to be given separately): Number
of days in a year on which the HVAC, cooling and heating systems are each operated according to
the daily usage profile.
⎯ Daily heating system operating hours: The length of time over which the system is operated each day.
This describes the period during which the set-point value for the respective type of usage is
maintained. It is assumed that night-time and/or weekend set-back operation is used outside of the
operating times. The standard operating time values stated are defined on the assumption that a two-
hour boost period precedes the usage time.
b) Lighting
⎯ Maintained illuminance: The maintained illuminance required in the visual task area is given in lux.
⎯ Height of the work plane: Vertical distance from the floor to the plane where the required maintained
illuminance is to be achieved.
⎯ Reduction factor for the visual task area: Factor defining by how much the maintained illuminance is
allowed to be reduced. It is calculated on the basis of the assumed ratio of the visual task area to the
immediate surroundings and on the ratio of the maintained illuminance specified for the visual task
area to the maintained illuminance specified for the immediate surroundings. The reduction factors
for the visual task area for personal and workgroup offices in Table 4 relate to lighting used mainly to
illuminate the room, enabling flexible use of the room or catering for cases where it is not known for
certain how the room is going to be used. If precise details of the arrangement of work areas are
available, use of the procedure described in DIN V 18599-4 or specialist planning can greatly reduce
the value of kA (e.g. to less than 0,7 for personal offices).
⎯ Relative absence: Parameter describing the proportion of usage time in which no persons are
present in the area being assessed (CA,m = 0: uninterrupted presence, CA,m = 1: no presence). The
relative absence accounts for part-time operation during a usage day (e.g. absences due to meetings,
breaks etc.).
⎯ Space index: Dimensionless geometric parameter used to determine the utilance (utilization factor) of
a space.
⎯ Partial-operation factor for lighting related to the building operating time: Factor defining the degree
to which the usage time for the respective usage profile may be reduced when calculating the energy
need for lighting. The partial-operation factor allows for the effect of part-time operation during the
calculation period (e.g. holidays, illness, leave etc.).
c) Indoor environment
15
DIN V 18599-10:2007-02
⎯ Humidity requirement: Specification whether the HVAC system is operated with a humidity control
tolerance or with strictly defined humidity control, i.e. without any tolerance.
⎯ Minimum outdoor air-supply volume flow rate: Air volume flow rate per unit area which is usually to
be maintained for hygienic reasons. Tables A.1 to A.33 contain further data concerning person-
related and area-specific volume flow rates and air change rates. The data on the mechanical
outdoor air-supply volume flow rate or air change rate (in practice) take account of the air volume
flow rates and air change rates that occur in practice in existing buildings. For some usage profiles, a
distinction continues to be made between ventilation systems used primarily for ventilation and those
used for cooling (see also DIN V 18599-2, Annex E).
d) Heat sources
⎯ Persons: The values stated for metabolic heat depend on the assumed activity level and specific
occupancy density values (persons per unit area). They are based on full utilization hours and a
normal sensible heat dissipation of (generally) 70 W per person. In classrooms, the value is assumed
to be 60 W per person, in kitchens and workshops 80 W per person. The values are rounded to the
nearest integer.
⎯ Equipment, machinery and appliances: The area-specific heat gain due to equipment, machinery and
appliances is stated as a daily value. It is calculated from the number of full utilization hours and the
specific power of the heat sources. Lighting is not included in this value, since a separate energy
balance is calculated for lighting systems. Heat sources with a negative sign are heat sinks.
e) Indoor air temperature
⎯ Internal set-point temperature for heating: Set-point monthly mean temperature in the room being
assessed, neglecting spatial and temporal partial or set-back heating modes.
⎯ Indoor temperature reduction for reduced-temperature operation (set-back heating mode): A

reduction of 4 K is assumed for all types of usage.
⎯ Internal set-point temperature for cooling operation: Set-point for the monthly mean temperature in
the room being assessed. The internal set-point temperature for cooling operation is the temperature
to be maintained on mean during the normal usage time when the cooling unit is in operation. On the
basis of conventional settings for cooling systems, it shall be assumed that higher room temperatures
are permitted when there are high outdoor temperatures. It is for this reason that a mean value is
used.
⎯ Minimum temperature for heating, design rating: A value of 20° C is assumed for all types of usage.
⎯ Maximum temperature for cooling operation, design rating: A value of 26° C is assumed for all types
of usage.
⎯ Dirt depreciation factor: A value of Fv = 0,9 is assumed to apply for all types of usage. This factor
takes into account the reduction in the total energy transmittance of transparent building components
due to dirt.
⎯ Dirt depreciation factor: A value of k2 = 0,9 is assumed to apply for all types of usage. This factor
takes into account the reduction of daylight supply due to dirt on glazing.
16
DIN V 18599-10:2007-02
f) Domestic hot water
⎯ Energy need for domestic hot water: The energy need for domestic hot water is given as usage
dependent values and, in some cases, per unit area (taking into consideration the specific occupancy
density). The reference area for non-residential buildings is the net floor area (NGF – German:
Nettogrundfläche) for the main type of usage.
⎯ Number of peak tappings per day: This value represents the time distribution of hot water
consumption (nSp = 1: tapping is evenly distributed throughout the day; nSp = 2: tapping at certain
times of day).

a It is permitted to take the usage and operating times (see columns 3 to 11) given as guideline values for the usage profile of a
superordinate usage if they constitute reasonable assumptions on the basis of the building’s utilization concept.
b In order to facilitate definition of the zones, this type of usage may also be assigned to the zones for “auxiliary spaces without
habitable rooms”.
c The monthly operating hours of HVAC operation tRLT-Betrieb shall be determined by weighting the respective days per month as
listed at the bottom of Table 7 with the annual operating days as follows: tRLT-Betrieb = dmth/365 × dop,a × tv,op,d in h/mth.
d Humidity requirement: with tolerance range (w. t.); no tolerance range (n. t.); no specific requirements (–).
e No minimum outdoor supply-air volume flow rate need be taken into consideration for the times with set-back operation during
weekends and holidays.
f No heat sources due to persons, equipment, machinery and appliances need be taken into consideration for the times with set-
back (reduced temperature) operation during weekends and holidays.

h When stating the value of heat sources due to equipment, machinery and appliances ql,fac, it is assumed that the cooling
equipment is a heat source (i.e. the condenser of the cooling equipment is located within the retail unit). If the condenser is
located outside the building, a value of -170 Wh/(m2d) shall be used for ql,fac.
i The values of heat sources due to equipment, machinery and appliances ql,fac do not include heat sources from decorative
lighting.

Annex B
(informative)
Determination of daytime and night-time hours
B.1 General
The number of daytime and night-time hours needs to be known in order to be able to determine the energy
need and energy use for lighting in accordance with DIN V 18599-4. The approximate method described
below can be used in cases where the daytime and night-time hours for the types of usage listed in Table 4
are to be determined due to deviating operating times or when a totally different type of usage is specified.
B.2 Calculating daytime and night-time hours

The method described below can be used to determine the number of daytime hours tTag and night-time hours
tNacht on a monthly basis for a known latitude ϕ and a specified beginning of usage tstart and end of usage
tende. The hours between sunrise and sunset are considered to be daytime hours.
The times tTag,i and tNacht,i for each month are calculated using equations (B.1) and (B.2):
tTag,i = Ni × Cwe ((tende – tstart) – (tbs,i + tas,i)) (B.1)
tNacht,i = Ni × Cwe (tbs,i + tas,i) (B.2)
where
Ni is the number of days in the respective month; Ni = [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31]
with i = 1 to 12;
Cwe is the reduction factor to account for weekends; the value of Cwe to account for all weekends is
5/7, if no weekends are taken into consideration Cwe is equal to 1;
tstart is the time of the beginning of usage;
tende is the time of the end of usage;
tbs,i is the usage time before sunrise;
tas,i is the usage time after sunset.
The times before sunrise tbs,i and after sunset tas,i are determined using equations (B.3) and (B.4).
⎧t − t start, i , if t sunrise, i > t start, i

t bs, i = ⎨ sunrise, i (B.3)
⎩ 0 otherwise
⎧t −t if tende > tsunset,i

tas,i = ⎨ ende,i sunset,i , , (B.4)
⎩ 0 otherwise
63
DIN V 18599-10:2007-02
where
tsunset is the sunset time;
tsunrise is the sunrise time.
The time of sunrise tsunrise and the time of sunset tsunset are calculated using equations (B.5) and (B.6) :
tsunrise,i = (12 – ωi /15°) – teq(Ji)/60 (B.5)
tsunset,i = (12 + ωi /15°) – teq(Ji)/60 (B.6)
where
ωi is the hour angle;
teq is the equation of time.
Equation (B.7) is used to calculate the hour angle, ωi:
⎛ sin (ϕ ) sin (δ ( J i )) ⎞
ω i = arc cos⎜⎜ − ⎟
⎟
(B.7)
⎝ cos (ϕ ) cos (δ ( J i )) ⎠
where
ϕ is the geographical latitude of the location;
Ji is the day of the month: in this case, the 15th day of each month is used as a reference:
Ji = [15, 46, 74, 105, 135, 166, 196, 227, 258, 288, 319, 349];
δ is the declination of the sun.
The following equation is used to calculate the declination of the sun:
δ (J) = 0,394 8 – 23,255 9 × cos(J + 9,1°) – 0,391 5 × cos(2 × J’ + 5,4°) – 0,176 4 × cos(3 × J’ + 26,0°)(B.8)
Equation (B.9) is used to determine the equation of time:
teq(J) = 0,006 6 + 7,352 5 × cos(J + 85,9°) + 9,935 9 × cos(2 × J + 108,9) + 0,338 7 × cos(3 × J + 105,2)(B.9)
with
J = J × 360°/365.
The annual daytime and night-time hours are the sum totals of the monthly values as expressed by equations
(B.10) and (B.11) respectively:
12
t Tag = ∑ tTag,i (B.10)
i =1
12
tNacht = ∑ tNacht,i (B.11)
i =1
