AMBIENT WELL-BEING PARAMETERS IN THE INDOOR SPACES OF OFFICE BUILDINGS. CASE STUDY
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This study highlights the variation values of several important microclimatic parameters inside an office building. This way, during one year time period, from February 2010 to February 2011,, we have recorded the natural wet temperature, the predicted mean vote – PMV, the predicted percent of dissatisfied people– PPD, WBGT indoor, WBGT outdoor, the draught risk, the luminous intensity and the sound level. Then, we could calculate the monthly, daily and hourly variation of these microclimatic and ambient comfort parameters. The recordings of the data were made by means of a microclimatic indoor station, a sound level meter and a light meter. The results helped us understand better how the values of these microclimatic parameters may influence the working conditions inside an office building, if the microclimate is one of thermal comfort or discomfort, or if it is beneficial or harmful to the development in good conditions of working activities within collective environments.
