Assurance of Indoor Environment Quality in Buildings
This chapter approaches several aspects of assessing the IEQ and human performance in buildings with different destinations. Thus, a computation and testing model of thermal comfort in buildings based on predicted mean vote (PMV)—predicted percent dissatisfied (PPD) indices, a computational model for indoor air quality (IAQ) numerical simulation, as well as a methodology to determine the outside air flow rate and to verify the IAQ in rooms are developed. Additionally, the thermal comfort is assessed based on the PMV-PPD indices using subjective and experimental measurements in two air-conditioned classrooms at a university, where the air-exchange rate is assured by natural ventilation. To estimate academic performance depending on air temperature, classroom air relative humidity and CO2 concentration in three simple Gaussian correlations are developed using twelve data sets containing the concentrated and distributive attention tests for students. Finally, a simulation model in the Transient System Simulation (TRNSYS) program of the PMV-PPD indices and heating/cooling energy demand for an amphitheatre with natural ventilation is developed.
