Abstract

Air quality inside the building is an important measure of comfort for people living and working in it. Achieving optimal air quality requires a regulated indoor air control system, often in combination with thermal regeneration. Typical short ventilation, irregular window and door ventilation are rarely adequate. From the point of view of the thermal comfort of the environment, it is necessary to predict the development and selection of suitable systems for the thermal comfort of the environment to predict how many thermal factors will affect the population, room temperature uniformity, asymmetry of the radiation temperature, and turbulence intensity of the flowing air. People are capable of detecting heat, temperature changes can feel not only globally, but also as local heat loss on the parts of the body. Thermal comfort is given by the air temperature and radiant heat, air velocity and relative humidity in the room. The main impact of these factors on the comfort level of individuals depends on the activity and type of clothing. The bad thermal comfort is detrimental to workers' health, increasing the risk of accidents and affects adverse effects on the psyche. The assessment of impact of the working environment to human form comparing actual and optimal parameter values of the working environment.
