Separate equipment requirements apply when heating, cooling and ventilation systems and hot water supply systems are installed or replaced. Central heating systems must be fitted with central automatic devices for reducing and shutting off the heat supply and for switching electric drives on and off (Section 61); water heating connected to a local or district heating supply without a heat exchanger is governed by Section 62. Heating installations must be fitted with devices for room-by-room temperature control (Section 63), and circulation and recirculation pumps must be selected under Section 64. For air conditioning and other ventilation systems, the limitation of electrical power (Section 65), the control of humidification and dehumidification (Section 66), the control of air flow rates (Section 67) and heat recovery (Section 68) apply. Heat distribution and hot water pipes and fittings must be insulated under Section 69 and Annex 8, cold distribution and chilled water pipes under Section 70. Section 57 additionally prohibits alterations that worsen energy quality. Compliance is regularly evidenced through the contractor declaration under Section 96(1), points 3 to 7. Further references: Sections 61 to 70, Annex 8, Section 110, Section 108(1), points 12 to 14.

Beim Einbau und Ersatz von Anlagen der Heizungs-, Kühl- und Raumlufttechnik sowie der Warmwasserversorgung gelten eigene Ausstattungsanforderungen. Wird eine Zentralheizung eingebaut, hat der Bauherr oder Eigentümer dafür Sorge zu tragen, dass sie mit zentralen selbsttätig wirkenden Einrichtungen zur Verringerung und Abschaltung der Wärmezufuhr sowie zur Ein- und Ausschaltung elektrischer Antriebe auszustatten (§ 61); Wasserheizungen, die ohne Wärmeübertrager an eine Nah- oder Fernwärmeversorgung angeschlossen sind, unterliegen § 62. Heizungstechnische Anlagen sind mit Einrichtungen zur raumweisen Regelung der Raumtemperatur auszustatten (§ 63), Umwälz- und Zirkulationspumpen nach § 64 auszuwählen. Für Klimaanlagen und sonstige Anlagen der Raumlufttechnik gelten die Begrenzung der elektrischen Leistung (§ 65), die Regelung der Be- und Entfeuchtung (§ 66), die Regelung der Volumenströme (§ 67) und die Wärmerückgewinnung (§ 68). Wärmeverteilungs- und Warmwasserleitungen sowie Armaturen sind nach § 69 und Anlage 8 zu dämmen, Kälteverteilungs- und Kaltwasserleitungen nach § 70. Flankierend verbietet § 57 Veränderungen, die die energetische Qualität verschlechtern. Die Einhaltung ist regelmäßig über die Unternehmererklärung nach § 96 Absatz 1 Nummern 3 bis 7 zu belegen. Weitere Fundstellen: §§ 61 bis 70, Anlage 8, § 110, § 108 Absatz 1 Nummern 12 bis 14.
