研究実績の概要 |
An adaptive thermal comfort study in typical office buildings in three climatic zones (Warm and Humid, Cool and humid and cold and cloudy) of North-East India considering normal building stock incorporating naturally ventilated, air conditioned and mixed mode (having optional AC units) office buildings. The aim will be to cover about 10 office buildings in each climatic zone through longitudinal and transverse surveys. It is now well recognized that naturally ventilated buildings under mixed mode of operation (Optional AC units) presents huge energy saving potential. The objective of the field study is to generate a statistically significant data base to carry out the analysis to propose adaptive thermal comfort model. Aim of research is to conduct minimum 2000 comfort surveys at three selected locations (Tezpur in warm and humid climate, Imphal in cool and humid climate and Shillong in cold and cloudy climate). Data collection through thermal comfort surveys started in July 2016 with the help of local assistants was completed in June 2017. Total 2326 thermal comfort surveys done covering all four seasons of a year. Based on autumn season data analysis 3 research papers has been published.
