Indoor Environmental Patterns in Nine California Energy Retrofitted Residences
Abstract
As part of a study of energy retrofits in nine California buildings indoor measurements of temperature and relative humidity were made between 2010 and 2012. The aim of this paper was to compare the temperature and relative humidity measurements in relation to recommendations for a healthy, comfortable and low energy consuming indoor environment. Energy conserving behavior during the heating season was detected in all buildings. The paper further aimed to find patterns in the measurement to determine if an energy retrofit affects the occupants' behavior and indoor environmental regulation strategies. No general pattern could be defined.
