COMFORT CRITERIA RELATED TO VENTILATION OF SPACES.

Author(s) : FANGER P. O.

Summary

STATES THAT HUMAN COMFORT IN A VENTILATED SPACE DEPENDS ON THE PERCEIVED AIR QUALITY, ON THE GENERAL THERMAL SENSATION OF THE OCCUPANTS AND ON THE RISK OF DRAUGHT. DISCUSSES EACH OF THESE ASPECTS SEPARATELY. EXPRESSES THE PERCEIVED AIR QUALITY IN DECIPOLS AND THE PERCEPTION OF DRAUGHT BY THE NEW MODEL OF DRAUGHT RISK. MAINTAINS THAT INDOOR AIR QUALITY IS MEDIOCRE AND CAUSES COMPLAINTS IN MANY BUILDINGS. STATES THAT THE REASON FOR THIS IS THE OFTEN HIDDEN POLLUTION SOURCES IN THE BUILDING. TO DETERMINE THE REQUIRED VENTILATION, PROPOSES A NEW METHOD ACKNOWLEDGING ALL POLLUTION SOURCES IN THE BUILDING BASED ON THE DESIRED AIR QUALITY IN THE SPACE, THE AVAILABLE QUALITY OF THE OUTDOOR AIR AND THE TOTAL POLLUTION LOAD IN THE SPACE.
