1 Roomvent 27: 1 th International Conference on Helsinki, June 1-15, 27 Assessment of Indoor Climate: Learning from Buildings Outdoor climate Edward Arens Center for the Built Environment UC Berkeley Indoor climate Energy Use Industry 7% Buildings 6% Transportation 27% Buildings use 68% of electricity Most building energy goes to conditioning the indoor environment Helping solve the energy problem Need a major creative effort by everyone involved to design and operate efficient and acceptable indoor environments Assessment of indoor climate (feedback) is key Buildings (and their systems) People (building occupants and operators) Assessing indoor climate Researchers Designers Bldg owners Bldg operators Commissioning agents Employers Occupants Developing standards; design guidance Obtaining feedback about designs and use of technology Evaluating quality of buildings and their maintenance staff Operating setpoints; diagnosing failures and complaints Feedback during HVAC system calibration Employees satisfaction and productivity Managing their environmental control costs Center for the Built Environment (CBE) Page 1
2 Roomvent 27: 1 th International Conference on Helsinki, June 1-15, 27 Assessment techniques 1. Mobile comfort carts 2. Stationary indoor climate monitor. Commissioning cart with wireless sensor array 4. Homeowners energy information system 5. Right-now surveys 6. Comfort polling station 7. Web-based indoor environmental quality survey These appear in example research projects Example 1: research on thermal comfort ASHRAE research on operating buildings in 198 s and 9 s Was Standard 55 being followed in real buildings? Were the criteria correct? Involved detailed measurement of physical environment and occupant responses 16 bldgs Thermal comfort assessment carts Right now occupant survey scales Mark 1 Mark 2 Analyzing the ASHRAE comfort database: Example 2: Commissioning cart project Centrally-controlled HVAC bldgs Naturally ventilated buildings indoor comfort temp Top ( o C) outdoor temperature index, ET* (oc) Predicted: Lab-based PMV model Observed: Field-based adaptive model indoor comfort temp Top ( o C) outdoor temperature index, ET* (oc) dedear and Brager used these data to develop the Adaptive Comfort Model, now in Std. 55, for operable windows The commissioning cart was inspired and funded by the New York Times One of three specialized carts for commissioning new building systems in their headquarters Lighting Shades Underfloor thermal and ventilation system Center for the Built Environment (CBE) Page 2
