This European Standard covers the calculation of the operational parameters and the energy consumption of cooling generation systems. The cooling generation consists of: — cooling generators like compression and absorption chillers; — other (generic) generator types such as ground or surface water or direct use of ground heat from boreholes; and — different types of heat rejection (dry, wet, hybrid with outdoor air, other sink types). The methods cover: — the possibility of heat recovery of heat to be rejected for the use of heating and/or domestic hot water production, through the use of an interface to the M3-1 standard; and — a multi generator calculation. The document does not cover the cooling emission, distribution and storage systems, which are covered by the Module M4-5, M4-6 and M4-7 standards, respectively. It is directly connected to the general part of the cooling systems, the M4-1 standard.
