Thermal comfort; Climate change; Building Overheating
Abstract :
[en] This report analyzes the principles of thermal comfort in the buildings. The building sector plays a major role in energy demand and consumption for space heating and cooling. To ensure lower CO2 emissions and better energy savings, it is important to improve the energy efficiency in the buildings. The report analyzes the different cooling technologies for residential buildings. The report also studies design day calculations and extreme events like heat waves, power outages, etc.
