Abstract

This project is financed by Landsbyggefonden and focuses on evaluating the occupants’ and building management's experiences with mechanical ventilation in renovated residential buildings in Denmark. The report proposes technical and non-technical solutions related to increased satisfaction with the ventilation system and with the indoor climate among occupants and staff. The project is divided into two phases:

In Phase 1, the importance of a new and adjustable mechanical ventilation system on the residents' satisfaction with the indoor climate and with the ventilation system is examined, as well as the inconveniences and functionality experienced by the new ventilation system.

In Phase 2, the effects of faults in a CAV AHU system on thermal and electrical energy consumption, thermal comfort and on indoor air quality are investigated. In the study, error models were developed that define KPIs and evaluate how errors can affect energy consumption and indoor climate conditions.
