Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate how thermal comfort dynamics are impacted by energy-efficient or thermal comfort improvements in a low-load house and to explore methods or metrics to rate a whole-house performance in an integrative way based on measured energy and comfort performance of the house. This research aims to strike a balance between advancing measurement science of whole-house performance in a holistic manner and developing a next- generation method or metric that is practical and reliable for realistic field applications to the existing residential building stock.
