Abstract

This article discusses the influence of passive solar systems supplementary mounted on stand alone office building. The main contribution is analysis of different configurations on thermal comfort inside the building. Specific measurement methods are applied on real passive solar systems and the elimination and correction of instrumentation uncertainities are interpreted. Particular effects are demonstrated on appropriate thermograms. The main chapter focuses on results of long period measurements performed on various types of passive solar systems. The results are discussed on sample office rooms. Ideal passive system configuration is disputed. Optimal operation mode evolution is explained as the main contribution of this experimental research.
