Measurement of thermal comfort in a classroom conditioned by a split-type system
Conférence : Communications avec actes dans un congrès international
Comfort conditions in a classroom have been experimentally evaluated based on the PMV index, for two split-type equipment installed in two different positions. Experimental data and corresponding uncertainty analysis are presented in terms of temperature, velocity and PMV index for 9 measurement locations within the classroom for the two different equipment positions. Preliminary results show the high variation of the thermal comfort index within the space – due mainly to high gradients of air velocity – and indicate the importance of research efforts towards a thermal-comfort control based system.
