Analiza przypadków przegrzania mieszkań na ostatnich kondygnacjach budynków w technologii tradycyjnej

It is commonly known that thermal comfort in the rooms on top floors is interrelated with their overheating. In regions (such as Poland) where air conditioning is not widely used, this problem is particularly evident. In order to thoroughly examine it, temperature measurements were made in the summer period. The measurements were made in the living quarters of buildings constructed in a traditional technology. The tests carried out confirmed that the top-floor rooms were subject to overheating. Therefore, the analysis involved also temperature distribution during the summer months both for attic rooms and rooms on lower floors. Temperature measurement and numerical measurement were also carried out in the test building. Moreover, the impact of the heat retention rate on the average, maximum, and minimum room temperatures was determined. First of all, using the simulation in ESP-r, the impact of heat retention rate on the scatter of results was demonstrated, since it turns out that the higher the value of heat retention rate, the smaller the temperature spread during the day.
