A lot of empirical data has been collected on how these parameters are defined. This Application Note gives a short introduction on thermal comfort especially in respect of humidity and temperature. The factors that have relevant influence on the thermal comfort of occupant’s spaces can be divided in environmental and personal factors. Environmental factors: temperature thermal radiation humidity air speed Personal factors: personal activity and condition clothing https://www.sensirion.com/fileadmin/user_upload/customers/se... Thermal energy can then be stored by two principles: Active storage Passive storage The passive storage principle is a traditional way to store energy in materials. For example, in warm climates thermally heavy structures will create an indoor temperature which is more agreeable than the temperature in a similar building without high thermal mass. The penetration depth of the heat (or cold) which is stored depends on the material thermal property, the diffusivity. Active storage is similar to passive storage, but the energy is transferred within or between materials by a heat carrier fluid in some kind duct or pipe-system. For example heat floor systems transfer the heat for the entire floor area – the energy is transfer. Two advantages with active storage are that you can store the energy in the whole material thickness and that the energy storage can be positioned away from where the excess heat is collected. One can for example move excess heat from an office building and store it in a heavy concrete structure – for example a parking garage – in a neighboring building. |
