Standard-Related Information

ISO 16358 is an international standard for measuring the thermal seasonal performance factor (TSPF) of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. This standard provides a framework for testing and evaluating the energy efficiency and performance of HVAC systems in different climates.

Relevant Standards and Regulations

  • ISO 16358:2019 Thermal Seasonal Performance Factor Measurement

  • ASHRAE Standard 128-2017 Measuring Energy Efficiency of Commercial and Industrial HVAC Equipment

  • EN 14511:2008 Ventilation for buildings Air handling units

  • TSE 1012:2018 Ventilation for Buildings Air Handling Units

    • International and National Standards Applicable to ISO 16358 Testing

    ISO 16358 testing is applicable in various countries, including the United States (ASHRAE), Canada (CSA), Europe (EN), and Turkey (TSE). The standard is widely accepted and recognized globally.

    Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    Standard development organizations (SDOs) play a crucial role in creating and maintaining standards. In the case of ISO 16358, SDOs like ASHRAE, CSA, EN, and TSE contribute to the development and update of this standard.

    Evolution of Standards and Updates

    Standards evolve over time due to changes in technology, regulations, and industry needs. Regular updates ensure that standards remain relevant and effective.
