A simple model for automatic analysis and diagnosis of environmental thermal comfort in energy efficient buildings

Analysis of the Influence Subjective Human Parameters in the Calculation of Thermal Comfort and Energy Consumption of Buildings

“…Semi-arid climates tend to support short or scrubby vegetation, with large zones usually dominated by either grasses or shrubs. Also, the average annual temperature is higher than 18 • C. From the databases available in TRANSYS, the web platform Equs [69], and Meteonorm [70], we obtain the values of different climatic variables such as air temperature, relative humidity, direct irradiance (solar) and diffuse horizontal irradiance.…”

“…This tool also includes the possibility of remotely controlling any device by SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system, ensuring the quality 6 of the statistical results. Equs collects in its database the information sent by the different sensors, allowing us to know the variation of the physical variables remotely, as access to these data can be obtained with any computer or other devices such as smartphones, which are connected to the Internet, making it very simple the treatment of the data, which can be done in the same device accessing to the values, in real time [69].…”

Optimizing the indoor thermal behaviour of housing units in hot humid climates: Analysis and modelling of sustainable constructive alternatives

“…11 In this context, our research analyses thermal-energy performance and comfort conditions inside the most representative scheme of housing units, 12,13 to address indoor thermal comfort, in a passive and sustainable way. 14…”

Desarrollo de modelos matemáticos y análisis de sensibilidad para el estudio energético de edificaciones.

“…Los valores climáticos generales, como la temperatura del aire, la humedad relativa, la irradiancia directa (solar) y la irradiancia horizontal difusa, se toman de una base de datos por hora obtenida por la plataforma Equs [92] y de la base de datos Meteonorm [93] que se encuentra disponible en TRNSYS.…”

“…Equs recopila en su base de datos la información enviada por los diferentes sensores, lo que nos permite conocer la variación de las variables físicas de forma remota, ya que el acceso a estos datos se puede obtener desde cualquier computadora u otros dispositivos como teléfonos inteligentes conectados a internet, por lo que es muy simple el acceso a los datos, lo que se puede hacer en el mismo dispositivo accediendo a los valores, en tiempo real [92].…”
