| Zusammenfassung | If the installation has been carried out correctly and the measuring instrument is used in the proper way, heat and cooling meters make it possible with the present state-of-the-art technologies and devices to ensure that the legal requirements are complied with which ensure correct billing and create - at the same time - saving incentives for consumers to adopt a more responsible behaviour towards the use of fuels of all kinds and of thermal energy. The high physico-technical quality of modern measuring instruments is constantly being developed further, thanks to PTB's activities in the field of approvals, as well as due to concerted research and development work with partners in Germany and abroad, and due to contributions to international standardisation in the field of thermal energy measurement. The manufacturers of measuring instruments, the operators of heating and cooling plants, the users of measuring instruments and the individual flat tenant are thus able to fulfil their respective duties as responsible members of society whilst relying on the accuracy and stability of the measuring instruments used. To support these processes, the PTB, with partners, have issued some technical regulations, e.g. to prescribe and to document, how the meters have to be installed and secured in the energy circuits. |
