Field Test for Heat and Humidity Environment and Analysis of Air-Conditioning System Consumption

Abstract

Museum has its particularity in public buildings and high research value for its thermal and humidity environment and building energy efficiency status. According to a investigation of air-conditioning systems and a test of indoor heat and humidity parameters in summer and winter for a museum in Shenyang, this article analysis its thermal environment and air-conditioning energy consumption status, draw the winter and summer indoor temperature and humidity and air-conditioning energy consumption chart, research the indoor temperature change rules and the energy consumption status of air-conditioning system in winter and summer. The results show that as air-conditioning energy consumption accounted for the main body of museum’s total building energy consumption, more energy-efficient technologies can be used to reduce the energy consumption of air-conditioning systems. And how to control the thermal environment of different types of collections in this museum, and take a consideration of energy saving, are focues of future research.
