Thermal comfort models based on field measurements.

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

Summary

Experiments were carried out in five naturally ventilated offices to measure the indoor environmental parameters such as air velocity, turbulence intensity, and air temperature. Air change rates for various indoor and outdoor climates were determined. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the rooms was monitored. Subjective assessment was made to evaluate the thermal comfort and air quality in the offices. The data were used to develop models that can be used to assess the indoor environment of naturally ventilated offices. Assessment of potential energy savings for the UK climate is given.
