Simulation in control system sensor location design

This paper focuses on the study of the office room, investigating the influence of temperature sensor placement on the heating energy consumption and thermal comfort in the central European climate conditions. Temperature simulation of the zone focused on different boundary conditions at points on the location of the sensor compared to the centre of the room. A new approach in the use of ESP-r for evaluation of resultant temperature for different locations in the room, using MRT (mean radiant sensor) function and air temperature was tested. Temperature related results are discussed and evaluated herein.
