Fifth webinar - EPB standards linked to health and wellbeing
(Updated: June 18, 2020)
The 5th webinar was organized on Tuesday 16th June 2020 (12h00-13h30) on "EPB standards linked to health and wellbeing".
In this 5th webinar the definition of indoor climate and other health related indoor conditions requirements as set out in one of the EPB standards, EN 16798-1, were introduced and demonstrated.
In particular the thermal comfort requirements were presented and how they can be evaluated by the calculation methods defined in the EPB standards. As a follow-up to the 4th webinar, further applications and possibilities of an hourly calculation method beyond the energy needs calculation were shown.
In the frame of climate change, the overheating issue is getting more and more important for both health and productivity reasons, and strategies to avoid this by enhanced ventilative cooling need to be evaluated. Therefore, the possibilities and limitations of such evaluations, using the methods described in the EPB standards and documents, were introduced, as well as further developments currently underway in standardization.
