| Popis: | This article presents a numerical work on the occupants’ comfort conditions of a building where passive and active solutions have been implemented. The comfort conditions are evaluated using a software based on the human thermo-physiology, used to simulate the human thermal and thermoregulatory and clothing thermal response. The building has constructive characteristics that allow it to use solar radiation as a passive solution. As an active solution, it is proposed to operate the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning system through the control of the occupants’ thermal comfort level. The whole building thermal response in transient conditions is obtained by a research software. The indoor thermal comfort and the indoor air quality were obtained for all occupied spaces. The implemented control system uses the Predicted Mean Vote index as a control variable. The obtained results show that the adopted solutions allow to improve the thermal comfort level of the occupants. |
