Abstract

Numbers of occupants in school buildings are high and due to metabolic rate the thermal comfort get affected highly. Government school buildings do not use cooling system; therefore the results of the research work will be useful to find the natural way to enhance thermal comfort. The aim of study is to conduct a field study in government school buildings located at Raipur (21.2514° N, 81.6296° E), India, to investigate the thermal comfort based on PMV–PPD model and to evaluate the cooling load of school building. A questionnaire survey and field study data is collected for the school building, from the survey response, it is to be concluded that occupants feels slightly cool, warm and cool for the season; monsoon, summer and winter, respectively. Slightly variation in PMV value of experimental data and questionnaire data is reported, due to the thermal adjustment of occupant according to the environment.
