Abstract

Bu çalışma topluluk için ısısal memnuniyet standardından esinlenerek bireysel ısısal memnuniyet için yeni bir ölçü ve kişilerin ısısal konfor tercihlerini taklit etmemizi sağlayan istatistiksel bir model sunmaktadır. Yaklaşımımız, bir bireyin arzu ettiği sıcaklık değeri civarında kendilerini çevreleyen ısısal ortamdan memnun oldukları bir sıcaklık aralığına sahip oldukları gözlemine dayanır. Bina sakinlerinin bireysel ısısal tercihlerini temsil eden istatistiksel modelimizin önemli parametrelerinin normal dağılıma sahip rastgele değişkenler olduğu varsayılmıştır, böylece daha sonra gerçekleştirilmek istenebilecek benzetimler için farklı bireylerin ısısal konfor tercihleri üretilebilir hale gelecektir. Bu dağılımın değişkenleri, topluluğa ait ısısal konfor parametlerini elde etmek için birleştirildiğinde bir bina içerisindeki kabul edilebilir ısısal koşulları belirleyen standartlara çok yakın tutarlılık sağlayacak şekilde ayarlanmıştır.

Abstract

This paper introduces a new measure for individual thermal comfort, inspired by the current standards for population thermal comfort, and a statistical model allowing us to imitate individuals’ thermal comfort preferences. Our approach is based on the observation that an individual has a temperature range around his or her desired temperature point in which he or she is comfortable with the surrounding thermal environment. The crucial parameters of our statistical model, which represents the thermal characteristic of individuals of building occupants, have been assumed to be normally distributed random variables so that the thermal comfort preferences of different individuals can be generated for the further simulation purposes. When aggregated to a population’s general thermal comfort parameters, the variables of these distributions have been adjusted in such a way as to bring very close consistency with the current standards, which define the criteria for acceptable thermal conditions of human occupancy in a built environment.
