Thermal Comfort and Energy Performance Assessment for Residential Building in Temperate Continental Climate

Abstract:

The increase of thermal comfort and energy performance of buildings is an actual problem of modern architecture and construction. The paper based on field study gives the assessment of thermal comfort and energy performance for multifamily residential building in temperate continental climate. The program of the field study included the measurements of microclimate parameters in rooms of various apartments (first stage) and of the thermal performance of building envelope elements (second stage). The results of the field study showed that the thermal comfort and thermal performance of building envelope elements were not provided. The deterioration of thermal comfort and thermal performance of the building can be caused by numerous defects allowed in the course of construction. Thermal modernization of the building is necessary for the purpose of elimination of the specified defects and increase of energy performance.
