Experimental study on thermal adaptationbased control in autumn

Conducts the experiments in typical autumn days, and compares the performances of the conventional, thermal adaptationbased and thermal adaptationbased (night ventilation) control modes in terms of environmental physical parameters, occupants satisfactions and building energy consumption. The results show that compared with the conventional one, the thermal adaptationbased control mode can increase indoor temperature, humidity and air speed, reduce CO2 concentration, maintain or improve occupants satisfaction with indoor environment, and save arerage daily total energy by 77%. The energy saving would rise to 96% by additional night ventilation.
