Energy Performance Assessment in Educational Buildings Using Ventilation Systems: A Case Study and an Energy Optimization Approach
Keywords:
mixed-mode ventilation, energy efficiency, dynamic simulation, thermal comfort, smart controlsAbstract
This study investigates energy performance optimization of ventilation systems in educational buildings byanalyzing three scenarios: traditional mechanical ventilation, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (HRV), andmixed-mode (natural + mechanical) ventilation. A public secondary school in Tehran was selected as a case study, and simulations were conducted using EnergyPlus and DesignBuilder
