F-34 Understanding of Energy Consumption Characteristics of Small and Medium Size Office Buildings : Measurement and Analysis on Air-conditioning at two office rooms in a University Building

Abstract

The authors carried out a field measurement and simulation on the cooling and heating load of two office rooms of in Osaka University. Based on the result of field measurement, it was revealed that a considerable vertical temperature distribution is formed in the conditioned room during winter season. This results in smaller supply of heat than required and discomfort in the room. The simulation model was used to disaggregate the cooling and heating load into its sources. Those of outside walls and windows are dominant in the subject room. These result generally showed the importance of improvement in insulation of outside walls and windows.
