The LESO building is a three storey, medium-sized office building on the campus of the Swiss Institute of Technology in Lausanne. In this building component leakages have been carefully determined followed by extensive measurements of the boundary conditions as well as the air flows. This paper first gives some basic concepts of the evaluation and the sensitivity analysis. Then, the measured data are compared with results from simulations performed with the COMIS multizone air flow program.

A PMV controlled ventilation strategy.

Submitted by admin on Sat, 07/06/2013 - 16:01

Designing a comfortable inside climate for office buildings to operate within comfort limits (PMV+/-0.5) requires a flexible operating strategy. Two systems a VAV and a VHV are identified and compared to each other. Dynamic simulation techniques are used to obtain an optimal design, based upon comfort conditions not temperatures. The control strategies are optimised to minimize energy consumption while controlling the HVAC system to remain within comfort limits in the occupied zone.
