| Popis: | In buildings it is a major aim to provide thermal comfort for the occupants. The comfort concept will be discussed and the parameters influencing man's heat balance and his thermal comfort will be defined. The philosophy behind the international thermal comfort standard ISO 7730 will be discussed and practical applications during the design of buildings and in existing built environments will be discussed. It is emphasized that the presentations of any energy savings are meaningless unless the corresponding quality of the thermal environment and its impact on human beings are assessed. The international standard applies for steady-state thermal conditions. Progress on research to identify thermal comfort requirements during thermal transients will be reported. This is of special importance for assessing the thermal environment in many passive solar buildings. A new model will also be presented for predicting the risk of draught as a function of air temperature, velocity and turbulence intensity. |
