ISO 15099 Thermal Performance Simulation Support Test Protocols Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 15099 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for thermal performance simulation support test protocols. This standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely adopted across various industries, including construction, energy, and manufacturing.

The standard is designed to provide a framework for testing the thermal performance of buildings, building components, and materials. It specifies the conditions under which tests should be conducted, the equipment and instruments required, and the methods for measuring and analyzing the results.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The ISO 15099 standard is supported by various national and international regulations, including:

  • The European Unions Construction Products Regulation (CPR)

  • The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)

  • The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) standards

  • The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards

    • These regulations require building products to meet specific thermal performance requirements, which are often verified through testing in accordance with ISO 15099.

    International and National Standards

    ISO 15099 is based on a range of international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 7345: Thermophysical properties of solids

  • ISO 8990-2: Determination of the thermal resistance of building materials

  • EN 12976: Building products - Thermal performance

    • National standards may also be adopted to support local regulations and requirements.

    Standard Development Organizations

    ISO 15099 is developed by the Technical Committee (TC) 205, Thermal Performance of Buildings, which is responsible for developing international standards related to building thermal performance. Other standard development organizations involved in this field include:

  • ASTM International

  • American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)

  • National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC)

    • How Standards Evolve

    Standards are continuously updated to reflect new technologies, changing regulations, and improved testing methods. The process typically involves:

    1. Review of existing standards

    2. Identification of areas for improvement

    3. Development of draft standards

    4. Public comment and review

    5. Finalization and publication

    Standard Numbers and Scope
