Energy Performance of a Real Office Building: A Case Study at Politecnico di Torino

This thesis investigates the critical influence of office room environments on the physical and psychological well-being of workers, emphasizing the significance of creating conducive spaces for increased productivity and satisfaction. The research delves into the integration of sustainable practices within office settings, focusing on essential factors such as HVAC systems, artificial lighting, and daylight strategies. The study employs a comprehensive approach by conducting an in-depth analysis of the Energy Department at Politecnico di Torino, specifically examining two floors. The energy analysis encompasses a thorough evaluation of the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, scrutinizing their efficiency and impact on indoor air quality. Additionally, the research investigates the role of artificial and daylight, exploring their potential to enhance both energy efficiency and occupant well-being.
