10:30 Europe/Brussels

Personal Environmental Control System (PECS) with the functions of heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and acoustic has advantages of controlling the localized environment at occupant’s workstation by their preference instead of conditioning an entire room. This improves personal comfort, health and energy efficiency of the entire heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system substantially. Personalized ventilation will also provide improved protection against cross contaminations, which are critical in open plan offices and workplaces with close distance. The application is for workplaces with mainly sedentary activity like offices (open plan, banks, control centres, etc.).

As a part of the IEA EBC Annex 87 on Personalized Environmental Control Systems, this webinar presented field applications of PECS with a global perspective and discusses its benefits and limitations in buildings.

This webinar was organized by the IEA-EBC Annex 87 (https://annex87.iea-ebc.org/), the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre & venticool (https://venticool.eu/) and facilitated by INIVE (www.inive.org).
