Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Providing a comfortable and healthy indoor environment for building occupants it is one of thè main goals in thè design process. Especially nowadays when people spend most of theirtime indoors.
The thesis examine the comfort and the Indoor climatic Quality both theoretically, but also and above ali, in the experimental aspects through tests in a classroom. The experiments were performed at the International Centre for Indoor Environment and Energy, ICIEE, the most prestigious research center in Europe working on issues of thermal comfort and air quality.
The climatic test chamber is a classroom/conference room which takes piace on thè second floor in building 402, Department of Civil Engineer at Technical University of Denmark. This room is equipped with different types of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems (HVAC). The purpose of HVAC System is to provide good air quality and comfortable thermal environment that will ensure occupant's satisfaction, health and high productivity.
The objective of the thesis is to investigate through experimental analyses the indoor environmental parameters and the energy performance inside a classroom combined ventilation System (Displacement Ventilation) with radiant panels (Chilled ceiling/floor). The development of thè radiant panels is growing as a low-energy systems, and represent a technology with broad potential application of low energy requirements. In addition to the energy, the thermal comfort guarantee enhancement of the System: in fact they are mainly based on radiation heat exchange. In particular, the research work's aim is to provide an optimal thermal comfort and a good IAQ during the summer period, when the heat loads in the classroom is quite high.
