EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THERMAL COMFORT IN A RESIDENTAL BUILDING

Abstract

This paper involves the analysis and measu­rements of thermal comfort indicators. The paper inclu­des both experimental measurements and numerical anal­ysis in the form of a computational fluid dynamics. The measured parameters were the dry bulb temperature, the velocity of the airflow, mean radiant temperature and the relative humidity in the room. In addition to measure­ments, the basic principles of numerical analysis and the theoretical basis of computational fluid dynamics had been interpreted. A description of the measuring devices, which were used for the experimental part, was also made with a detailed explanation of the measurement method according to the standards. The measurement results were interpreted in detail and a comparative analysis was made.
