Operative Temperature Predicting of a Room in Summer: An Approach for Validating of Empirical Calculation Models

Abstract:

Temperature stability of a room is of a high relevance to achieve an optimal level of built environment. Standardized calculation models of temperature stability are determined by international standard ISO 13792 based on recently developed empirical models whose approximations can finally be applied. It basically describes two models, however both demonstrate approaches that may not have the best conformity when confronted with the reality. Thus the research objective is to point out an applicability of given calculating models. The paper presents a validation proposal with aim to find an applicable correlation related to current methodology. Finally as result of this study, proposed approximations could demonstrate better consequence to the reality.
