Analysis of Thermal Comfort and Space Heating Strategy
Case Study of an Irish Public Building
Targets have been set to reduce the energy consumption in public buildings in Ireland by 33% by 2020. Space heating accounts for a significant portion of the energy load of public buildings. Diverse space heating strategies are often required to meet the requirements of spaces of various usage within public buildings, including within multi-purpose or event spaces. To analyse the thermal comfort of occupants and efficiency of the space heating strategy a post-occupancy evaluation was carried out on an event space at Dublin City Council local authority offices. The evaluation, based on the results of monitoring (temperature, energy), modeling and the assessment of comfort as perceived by occupants, has shown that thermal comfort is not adequately achieved. This is the case even though significant energy is being expended to achieve comfort levels via a current inefficient space heating strategy.
