Energy versus indoor environment

ConclusionDon’t save energy at the expense of the indoor environment…

Energy efficiency measures may have a higher rate-of-return when health, comfort and/or productivity is improved as well.

Healthy indoor environment

Definition (HOPE)An indoor environment can be defined as healthy when the complex of its

physical, chemical and biological properties are such that :

– they do not cause or aggravate any illnesses in the building occupants;

– they secure a high level of comfort to the building occupants in the performance of the designated activities for which the building has been intended and designed.

Ventilation and health

Ventilation

Relates to air quality, not to temperature control! (is additional…)– Must be continuously present!– For removal of contaminants

CO2, human activities, building material emission, …– First: Source control!

What’s the main function of ventilation systems?

Ventilation and energyEnergy loss through ventilation (~30-50% of energy use buildings; higherpercentage for well insulated buildings [HOPE])

Uncontrolled: High requirements to infiltration• build tight, but ventilate right!

Controlled: Heat recovery (MVHR)• efficiency ~70-80%• filters maintenance…• bypass…• flow rates…

Local thermal discomfort- Draught- Warm and cool floors- Radiant temperature asymmetry- Vertical air temperature gradient

Non-steady state conditions- Temperature cycles, drifts, ramps

Thermal comfort (adaptive approach)

Summing upIndoor environment

– Affects users of a building directly.

– Important topic in relation to sustainable building....also in terms of (potential) costs/savings

– Important part of rating systems that assesssustainability of building designs.

– Therefore, don’t forget the indoor environment whendesigning low energy sustainable buildings

Outcome of an investigation into control of the indoor environment in nineoffices [NL; 144 subjects] showed that 82% of the users do not considerthe energy use when changing settings to improve the indoor climate...

Some quotes (translated):‘comfort is more important than energy use’‘energy is of secundary order, most important is that I feel comfortable’‘at home I take this into account, at the office not’‘with respect to heating etc. I don’t consider the energy-effect, but for lighting and switching of

the computer when leaving the office I do’
