Room’ s temperature For heating, 20 °C – 24 °C, around 1.0 clo ; for cooling, 23 °C –
25 °C, around 0.5 clo
Lighting 500 lux
Window size Minimum 10 % of the floor area
CAV may be the best option when a building’s ventilation load needs are constant for long periods. In
other words, CAV works best when a building must be heated/cooled to a specific temperature with little
variability.

To create the mesh for this study, it has been preferred the use of For each “sweep” method, it has been enabled the

The mesh has been generated using the “sweep” method. Thus,
the domain had to be decomposed in order to have a “sweep-
able” model and avoid the internal flow loops. Further slice
was required, as shown in Figures X-X, due to the variation of
heights, to establish a good mesh quality.
