摘要
A low-energy house located in Halifax, Canada, was monitored for a year using a computerized data acquisition system. Data on indoor and outdoor temperatures, relative humidities, and power consumption were collected for a whole year. The results of the analysis of cooling season data are presented. It was found that indoor temperature variations in the house were generally small, indicating a high level of comfort. The cooling load, and the cooling energy requirement of the house were low owing to the high level of insulation, and could further be reduced by increasing the thermostat setting. This however would reduce the comfort level in the house. Temperature set-up during unoccupied periods did not reduce daily cooling energy requirement, and addition of an economizer control would not be feasible owing to the small magnitude of potential savings.
