Commissioning Tools for Heating/Cooling System in Residence - Verification of Floor Heating System and Room Air Conditioning System Performance
Abstract
Tools of evaluating the performance of floor heating and room air conditioner are examined as a
commissioning tool. Simple method is needed to check these performance while in use by residents, because
evaluation currently requires significant time and effort. Therefore, this paper proposes a) two methods of
evaluating the floor heating efficiency from the room / crawl space temperature and the energy consumption and
b) method of evaluating COP of the room air conditioner from the data measured at the external unit. Case studies
in which these tools were applied to actual residences are presented to demonstrate their effectiveness.
