Abstract
The I-DIFFER renovation solution, implementing a double-skin facade with diffuse ceiling ventilation, is investigated in this report via experimental methods. The experiments were conducted in the FACADE laboratory of AAU, within a scaled-down classroom (Test room). The aim of the research is to evaluate the performance of the currently applied control strategy of the cooling and heating modes, and its influence on the temperature distribution within the DSF and DCV cavities, and on the global and local thermal comfort of the Test room. The measurements occurred across diverse seasons, including a summer, an intermediate, and a winter week. The results displayed that the control strategy is able to performaccording to its purpose under favourable conditions, however, it requires optimization. The global thermal comfort analysis revealed overheating during the summer and winter periods, while dominantly low operative temperature defined the intermediate period. The local comfort analysis only posed a risk of discomfort due to radiant temperature asymmetry for a sitting position in the middle of the room during the intermediate and winter periods.
