Energy meters for heating and cooling

A thermal energy meter is a meter designed to measure thermal energy, which is transferred in a thermal energy exchanger to a liquid called heat transfer fluid.

A thermal energy meter is either a compact meter or a combined meter consisting of subsets, i.e. a flow sensor, a pair of temperature sensors and a calorimeter, or a combination of a compact and a combined meter.

Validation period

Accuracy classes

Accuracy classes are defined for thermal energy meters: 1, 2, 3.

For household consumption, measurements are permitted to be made by any Class 3 meter.

For commercial or light industry purposes, the use of a Class 2 meter is required.
