要約:Buildings are responsible for 40% of global energy demand and CO2 emissions. In Argentina, buildings represent more than 40% of total annual energy consumption. Energy-saving strategies can cause thermal discomfort for building inhabitants. The aim of this research is to optimize daily set point temperatures based on occupancy profiles and changes in outdoor weather to find a balance between energy efficiency and thermal comfort in a public office building in San Juan, Argentina. The model takes into account the thermal adaptation capacity of the inhabitants considering outdoor temperature variation. The proposed method combines spot monitoring analysis, which introduces subjective occupancy data, with the Energy Plus building energy simulation tool. Optimization results show around 26% energy savings, while maintaining acceptable thermal comfort conditions.
