Effective Ventilation Parameters and Thermal Comfort Study of Air-conditioned Offices

Thermal Comfort in Offices – Natural Ventilation vs. Air Conditioning

Based on both subjective and objective data, a study was carried out in order to identify differences in the perception of thermal comfort of office workers in naturally ventilated and air-conditioned buildings. The analysis of the interviews shows that occupants of naturally ventilated office buildings are significantly more satisfied with their thermal environment than occupants in air-condit...

Field Survey on Human Thermal Comfort Reports in Air-Conditioned Offices in Taiwan

Field experiments, conducted in 29 air-conditioned offices, used survey questionnaires and physical measurements to investigate workers’ subjective thermal responses and comfort perception. A total of 650 individuals participated in the field study. The thermal neutrality and thermal preference of subjects occurred at 25.6°C and 24.1°C respectively. Responses from those subjects suggest a comfo...

Thermal Comfort and Perception Inside Air-Conditioned Areas

This study describes and compares the results of two field surveys about thermal comfort inside air conditioned buildings in two different classrooms. Both field studies were conducted in classrooms at The University of South Florida, Tampa, USA during the summer of 2014 and the fall of 2015. The purpose of this study is to investigate the temperature perception of humans in closed areas based ...

Experimental Analysis of Thermal Comfort in an Air Conditioned

Original scientific paper Experimental analysis of thermal comfort in an open plan office has been presented in the paper. The office of interest is air conditioned by two parallel ceiling air terminal devices (ATDs). With the aim of mathematical description of the main characteristics of turbulent wall jets produced by the ATDs, a set of experimental measurements was carried out using the lase...
