Thermal Comfort Assessment of the Perimeter Zones by Using CFD Simulation
Most perimeter zones are thermally susceptible to the variation of outdoor conditions, especially due to a large amount of heat gain through glazing. To reduce heat gain, spandrel panels are generally installed in curtain walls of commercial buildings. For the present study, thermal performance in an office located in the perimeter zone was investigated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. By varying the spandrel panel heights, thermal comfort was assessed quantitatively. The findings suggest that when the spandrel panel height was 0 m, the highest temperature was observed in all cases. As the height of the spandrel panel was increased, the temperature decreased. For thermal comfort evaluation, Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) values at 1.5 m from the floor in all cases were larger than zero. PMV values in all cases were within the range of slightly cool to warm. When the spandrel panel height was 0 m, the highest thermal sensation (warm) among the cases was observed, which may cause thermal dissatisfaction for occupants. In addition, thermal comfort was deemed satisfactory based on the criteria of ASHRAE standard 55, when the height of the spandrel panel was higher than 0.6 m.
