Assignment A: Assessment of a multi-storey office building Design

• Implement an appropriate heating (and if necessary cooling) strategy to ensure that comfortable indoor conditions are maintained during working hours.Usethe heating set-point given below (and include an appropriate cooling set-point if necessary).
• Include sources of internal gain as listed below.
• Carry out a dynamic thermal simulation over a typical year using appropriate local weather data.
• Carry out an evaluation of the thermal comfort and indoor air quality predicted in the occupied spaces and the overall energy consumption of the building.
• Determine if the predicted dry-resultant temperature in each occupied room exceeds the maximum recommended temperature for offices given in CIBSE Guide A(CIBSE 2016), Table 1.5.
• Determine if thepredicted indoor air quality in each occupied room meets the IDA2 standard given in CIBSE Guide A(CIBSE 2016), section 4.2.1 and section 4.2.3.
• Compare the predicted energy consumption with good practice benchmarks given in CIBSE Guide F (CIBSE 2012), Table 20.1.      

Write a technical report documenting your findings and making recommendations for improvements to the building design. These could include recommendations for changes to the building layout.
