[Bldg-sim] Model HVAC systems in industrial buildings

[Lizzy Guhl]

Dear All,

 

I have a couple of questions about an industrial building I am modeling at
the moment (bottle filling company).

 

In the different zones of the warehouse (production and filling of bottles,
storage, laboratories, etc.) they are not planning to install HVAC systems.
But all of these zones are occupied constantly by the workers (8760 hours a
year), although the occupancy density is quite small (e.g. 40 people/20.000
m2). Without HVAC systems we definitely don´t reach the comfort temperatures
during all the 8760 hours, so I am not sure if it´s actually possible to
consider these zones without HVAC systems?! 

Besides that, I was wondering if we can change the lower temperature limit
considering special thermal clothing for the workers?  

 

I look forward to your response.

 

Regards,

Lizzy
