Summary

A dynamic thermal environment that temporarily exceeds the boundaries of the thermal comfort zone can be an approach to reduce energy use in buildings while providing occupants with instances of thermal delight and positive stimulation. This work presents “tailored-to-occupant” dynamic heating profiles based on in-situ-measured occupancy in a Swiss case study office and compares resulting heating energy demand with rather static setpoints used in practice and established by current standards.
