Outline of Final Research Achievements

There is a problem that resident's thermal sensation isn't being considered sufficiently in the stage of load calculation with the current air-conditioning load calculation method. To settle this problem, I changed the definition of air-conditioning load, and showed an "air-conditioning load calculation method considering resident's thermal sensation" as new calculation method. Up to now, the validity of this new calculation method was done clearly by several numerical simulations.
This research measured input energy of heating panel in different experimental conditions and confirmed the validity of the new load calculation method using measured Input Energy.
