Hybrid heating system for open-space office/laboratory

• Open-space office/laboratory are quite common in Scandinavia and they are usually designed for multipurposework. There are office area where is possible to work standing up and in the same time to work at the desk. Forthis purpose a hybrid heating system made by electric convectors and panel radiators is investigated. Two stepresponse tests of the hybrid heating system are performed at the laboratory of Umeå University. The first test isexecuted during the week, disturbances from heat sources degrading the quality of the results. The second test isperformed during week-end. The error analysis shows a maximum discrepancies of +0.6 °C between measuredand simulated data. However, a thermal time constant of the room can be deducted and use it for controlling purposes.
