A numerical two-dimensional CFD model of the indoor zone based on experiments performed by the authors was used. Different resident locations in the fluid domain and different inlet velocities imposed by wind were considered in simulations. The overall thermal comfort and IAQ indices were also calculated. The investigations results show that in contrast to the overall air quality, the local CO₂ was strongly dependent upon the resident location, fresh air inlet velocity and ventilation system type.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Numerical investigations of effect of indoor air quality on thermal comfort in residential buildings}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/83927/mainfile.pdf}, keywords={indoor air quality, thermal comfort, CFD, personal breathing zone, heat loads, natural ventila-tion, occupant behaviour}, }
