Zur Anordnung von freien Heizflächen in Gebäuden mit höherem Wärmeschutzniveau : Eine Analyse aus wärmephysiologischer und energetischer Sicht

The steady rise in energy prices has recently triggered a broad discussion on energy efficiency and alternative methods of generation. Since approximately 30 % of the total energy consumption is attributable to HVAC installations (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning), this sector is acutely relevant for the building industry and for building services. Reduction of the building energy consumption can be achieved only by applying a wide range of measures across the whole process from planning to the realisation stage. Considering the aforementioned, the influence on thermal comfort and energy consumption of different radiator positions within a room is described in the following paper The analysis was carried out for a representative room geometry, which allows the results to be applied to a broad spectrum of real room configurations.
