This part of EN ISO 14505 provides guidelines for the assessment of the thermal conditions inside a vehicle compartment. It can also be applied to other confined spaces with asymmetric climatic conditions. It is primarily intended for assessment of thermal conditions, when deviations from thermal neutrality are relatively small. Appropriate methodology as given in this part of ISO 14505 can be chosen for inclusion in specific performance standards for testing of HVAC-systems for vehicles and similar confined spaces.
