Key Points

  • Temperature controlled entirely by ventilation.
  • EnergyPlus was used, so BIMs an surveys.

Air ventiation was controlled mostly by a modified version of EnergyPlus. Temperature was controlled entirely by ventilation. Highest 'bauy' temperature was used to represent the whole floor's temperature.

The paper has shown that ventilation can be used to adequately control temperature in a tower building in the USA. no error statistics were given.

Does this extends to the UK? and households?
