Planning Notes
Cooling with Heat Pump Systems
Comfortable Room Temperature
A room is considered to be thermally
comfortable when the room tempera-
ture in the summer is below 28°C.
This does not apply to air-conditioned
rooms. Other factors are affecting
thermal comfort ranges as well.
Thermal comfort requirements are
defined in standard DIN EN 15251,
which provides a general guideline
when implementing construction
projects.
Recommendations for Surface
Temperatures of Cooled Floors
When using a floor area for cooling, the
comfort requirements and the weather
data can be used to estimate the
condensation risk so that the surface
temperatures should generally be in a
range of 20°C to 29°C.
Special attention must be paid to floor
surfaces that are used when barefoot,
for example, in bathrooms, since the
surface temperatures perceived as
being comfortable may be significantly
higher depending on the floor covering.
Rooms with high humidity loads,
especially bathrooms and kitchens,
should not be cooled or only by
considering the dew point threshold.
