Comparative analysis of identification techniques for heat gain from students in education institutions
Creation and maintenance of indoor climate at the lowest costs is one of the main tasks of engineers in the construction industry. It is necessary to take into account not only the thermal characteristics of modern building materials and structures, but also indicators of thermal comfort based on the heat balance of a person. It is necessary to pay attention to heat losses in the of education institution buildings in the absence of unambiguous required data on this matter in the normative documents. Various techniques of definition of heat gain from people are considered, the comparative analysis of techniques is conducted, factors influencing metabolism and heat balance of a person at rest and at work are identified, and the heat gain from students is calculated with respect to their age and physiological characteristics. These calculations can be used to detect the heat balance of education institution buildings. It is shown that theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental data.
