Energy efficiency optimization through adaptive thermal comfort in a public office building in San Juan, Argentina

Energy efficiency optimization through adaptive thermal comfort in a public office building in San Juan, Argentina

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 tem...

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. Las edificaciones son responsables del 40% de la demanda mundial de energía y de emisiones de CO2. En Argentina, los edificios representan más del 40% del consumo total anual de energía. Las estrategias de ahorro de energía pueden provocar disconformidad térmica en los habitantes de los edificios. El objetivo de este trabajo es optimizar las temperaturas de “set point” diarias basadas en los perfiles de ocupación y la evolución del clima exterior para encontrar el equilibrio entre la eficiencia energética y el confort térmico de un edificio de oficinas público en San Juan, Argentina. El modelo tiene en cuenta la capacidad de adaptación térmica de los habitantes considerando la variación de la temperatura exterior. El método propuesto combina el análisis de monitoreo in situ, que introduce datos subjetivos de ocupación, con la herramienta de simulación energética para edificios Energy Plus. Los resultados de la optimización muestran alrededor de un 26% de ahorro de energía, manteniendo condiciones aceptables de confort térmico.
