Abstract

Abstract: The application of demand-controlled ventilation is one of the ways, how to reduce energy consumption in residential buildings. The main producer of pollutants in these types of buildings is human being and its activities. The most common measurable air parameters that can be characterized the level of air degradation in rooms are the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2), air temperature and relative humidity. The aim of our research was to monitor and evaluate these air parameters in real conditions of apartment usage. As part of the research, the experimental measurements were carried out in a selected apartment, where the concentration of carbon dioxide CO2, air temperature and relative humidity were monitored in individual rooms. During evaluating the monitored air parameters, their maximum and minimum values were evaluated. The achieved research results can be applied in computer simulation the operation of a ventilation system in the apartment in order to increase the energy efficiency of the HVAC system while maintaining the required indoor air quality that is necessary for healthy living.
