A case study of thermal comfort in naturally ventilated offices.

Author(s) : CROOME D. J., GAN G., AWBI H. B.

Summary

Physical measurements were made of air velocity, turbulence intensity and air temperature at three vertical levels. Air change rates for various indoor and outdoor climates were determined. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the room was monitored. Subjective assessment was made to evaluate the thermal comfort in the offices. Models were developed for assessing thermal comfort levels for naturally ventilated offices based on the field measurements. It was found that laboratory-based comfort models could not accurately predict the thermal sensation levels in naturally ventilated offices.
