3 Comfort Criteria

BB101:2018 builds on CIBSE TM52:2013 by defining comfort plus air quality checks for both free running and mechanical ventilated / cooled teaching and learning spaces. These are:
 
For free running teaching and learning spaces:
·         Adaptive comfort analysis.
o    Typical use of TM52 category II.
o    TM52:2013 criteria 1, 2 & 3 assessment.
 
·         Air quality assessment:
o    Daily occupied average CO2 1500PPM.
o    Max 20 mins occupied CO2 2000PPM.
o    Design for 1200PPM majority of the time (new build).
o    Design for 1750PPM majority of the time (refurb).
 
For mechanical ventilated / cooled teaching and learning spaces:
·         PMV comfort analysis.
o    Test zero hours exceeding PMV:
 
·         Air quality assessment:
o    Daily occupied average CO2 1000PPM.
o    Max 20 mins occupied CO2 1500PPM.
 
 
The max 20 mins test requires Apachesim to be set with a 10-minute simulation timestep.
