Control of Night Cooling With Natural Ventilation Sensitivity Analysis of Control Strategies and Vent Openings

摘要

A dynamic simulation of hte ventilation processes nad the thermal behaviour of an office building is developed. This is used to investigate two aspects of night cooling with natural ventilation: the control strategies and the required ventilation opening area. As comfort criterion is used the constraint that less than 100 overheating hours (T_resultant above 25.5 deg C), of which not more than 15 hours above 28 deg C, are allowed in office hours in one year.
