The primary purpose of this study was to determine if the thermal comfort of subjects working at a moderate level of activity (2.3 MET) was improved or adversely affected by air motion. second purpose of the study was to compare experimental results with the predicted responses given by the Fanger thermal comfort model and the Azer thermal response model. Tests were conducted with subjects wear...

Isıl konfor, insanın yapısı, yaşı, cinsiyeti gibi kişisel parametrelerin yanı sıra çevresel parametrelere de bağlıdır. Isıtma, soğutma ve havalandırma sistemlerinin çalışma şekli dış hava sıcaklıkları ısıl konfor için önemli parametrelerdir. Fanger deneysel çalışmalar sonucu “tahmini ortalama oy (PMV)” olarak adlandırılan bir gösterge oluşturmuş PMV=0’ı en iyi değer belirlemiştir. Bu çalışmada,...

The building sector greatly contributes to energy consumption and Greenhouse Gas emissions, relating the whole life cycle. Boasting a huge heritage of historical architectural value, Europe faces challenging retrofit perspectives, as potential for high efficiency has be exploited while preserving buildings’ original characteristics. present work aims feature influence passive strategy on in mil...

De nombreux cours liés à la conception durables sont donnés dans les cursus d’architecture afin de motiver futurs concepteurs concevoir des projets plus respectueux notre environnement. Ces appuyées par normes qui pratiquées au niveau international. Cependant, comme plupart stratégies ont été développées pays occidentaux, question leur exactitude pratique d’autres contextes se pose toujours. Da...

Remote work can have many benefits when set up properly. Nevertheless, the preferences of home workers’ comfort havenot been profoundly studied yet. Therefore, this study aims to understand their accepted Indoor Environmental Quality values in winter based on self-reported comfort. In regard, 26 households Catalonia’s Mediterranean region were monitored and surveyed for separated periods 15 day...

This paper will outline a research project currently being undertaken at The University of Melbourne aimed at developing a dynamic model of architectural comfort. Much of the energy used in buildings goes to providing suitable levels of environmental provision – light, heat and air – for building occupants. In terms of thermal performance, the levels have been determined principally through res...
