This paper considers the application of comfort parameters as a mechanism for building performance analysis and control. It challenges traditional methods of evaluating zonal comfort through thermostatic dry-bulb temperature alone. In contrast, it creatively applies a ‘calibrated’ Comfort Tool software to measure comfort improvements in buildings. A comfort cart built according to ASHRAE-55 standards together with thermal imaging surface temperatures is combined in a comprehensive thermal performance analysis in buildings. This paper is about demonstration and discussion in the development of a measurement and analytical process which is a systematic approach towards spatial comfort improvement. Two houses were measured and analysed, over an extreme daytime period in Darwin, Australia. Improvement in overall thermal conditions of up to 35% and 59% were realised with the most reliable potential for thermal improvements found in surface temperature (mean radiant temperature), conditioning changes indicating between 32 – 38% overall comfort improvement in the building.

将舒适度模型应用于建筑性能分析

本文将舒适度参数的应用视为建筑性能分析和控制的一种机制。它挑战了仅通过恒温干球温度来评估区域舒适度的传统方法。相比之下，它创造性地应用了“校准”的舒适工具软件来衡量建筑物的舒适度改进。根据 ASHRAE-55 标准制造的舒适推车与热成像表面温度相结合，可对建筑物进行全面的热性能分析。本文是关于开发测量和分析过程的演示和讨论，这是一种提高空间舒适度的系统方法。在澳大利亚达尔文的极端白天，对两座房屋进行了测量和分析。
