Analysis of measurable influencial factors of air quality as a basis for the improvement of air comfort in buildings

Abstract

These research is focused on the importance of air comfort and energy efficiency in civil engineering and the possibility of their application in architectural design. Provision of an adequate comfort within the physical framework directly impacts the health and working abilities of people and considerably increases the energy consumption. Provision of adequate air quality, i.e. air comfort of indoor space accounts for 30% to 40% of total energy consumption in the course of utilization of construction facilities. In this paper, special attention was paid to the analysis of measurable factors influencing air comfort: objective quality parameters and air humidity.
