Thermal comfort

We spend most of the time in our lives in closed rooms. That’s why a healthy room environment is so important for our comfort. Various factors contribute here: Various standards and directives provide essential information on generally valid criteria for thermal comfort. Our laboratory for measuring air and heat flow in rooms is available for simulation of a great variety of room situations.

Measuring systems can acquire data on all room-environment variables that play an important role in determining thermal comfort. This makes it possible to optimize room design with respect to comfort.

Sensors supported in place can accurately determine the prevailing environmental conditions in a room.

Our computer-aided flow-analysis systems provide key support in the determination and verification of comfort characteristics. These facilities not only allow conduct of room-climate tests and comfort simulations, but also enable the optimization of air-flow characteristics.
