Energy Consumption Variation due to Different Thermal Comfort Categorization Introduced by European Standard EN 15251 for New Building Design and Major Rehabilitations.

摘要: European CEN Standard EN 15251 (2007) requires indoor thermal comfort conditions to be assessed and fall within a category system for different levels of expectation building purpose. The COMMONCENSE project has prepared provided information about the energy implications in particular whether is encouraging high-energy buildings case new major rehabilitations. Qualitative quantitative are given, using range cooling heating techniques forms. More specifically, required consumption twenty eight types (offices, hospitals, schools, residences) Europe was calculated, assuming that belong each three categories I, II, III as described Standard. From these calculations, it determined if express real satisfaction with environment and, at same time, low could easily comply calculated type compared against existing national benchmarks. In general, by changing from I II or defined 15251, passage higher lower noticed, according benchmarks legislation. Finally, forms future standards which more keeping aspirations Energy Performance Buildings Directive (EPBD) suggested. standard should framed order encourage since must comfortable efficient time.
