Effect of Energy Conservation Guidelines on Comfort, Acceptability, and Health. Final Report
A requirement for a research program relating proposed energy-use strategies and guidelines for energy-conservation practices on human comfort, acceptability, performance, and health became clearly recognized during a Conference on Energy Conservation Research held by the National Science Foundation on 18--20 February 1974 at Airlie House, Warrenton, Virginia. Proposals to FEA for further research, as a result of the conference, were made and are discussed here, namely: Task I: Conduct laboratory tests on response of representative adult subjects to thermal environments specified by FEA energy guidelines 78 to 80 exp 0 , relative humidities 40, 60, and 80%; Task II: Conduct a field survey of an operating office building (GSA Building, Federal Plaza, New York City) using the FEA guidelines to determine occupant reaction and performance, as well as the nature of the indoor environment; Task III: Use the National Bureau of Standards Simulation Programs (NBSLN and PIHI) in determining the magnitude, duration, and frequency of indoor environmental conditions under these guidelines (80 to 82 exp 0 F settings with no humidity control and no reheat) for typical office buildings or apartments in different climatic regions in the USA; Task IV: Initiate laboratory studies along the same lines as Task I to evaluate the thermal environment specified by the FEA Winter Guidelines of 65 to 68 exp 0 F at 20 and 40% RH; Task V: Repeat the survey of the GSA Building (Task II) during the winter months. Four special technical reports are included. (ERA citation 03:037535)
