T/CAQI 83-2019 Integrated design requirements for building energy efficiency and indoor environmental parameters
T/CAQI 83-2019 Integrated design requirements for building energy efficiency and indoor environmental parameters
Basic Information
Scope
This standard specifies the requirements for indoor environmental parameters such as thermal environment, indoor air quality, lighting, and noise, and describes how to establish these parameters for building system design and energy efficiency calculation. The standard also prescribes the indoor occupancy schedules used in standard energy efficiency calculations and how to apply different levels of indoor environmental guidelines.
This standard includes design criteria for local thermal comfort, ventilation, uneven radiant temperature differences, temperature gradients, and floor temperatures.
This standard applies to buildings where indoor occupants set the standards, as well as to buildings where production or processes do not have a significant impact on the indoor environment.
The guidelines set in this standard can also be used in national energy efficiency calculation methods. This standard establishes indoor environmental guidelines based on existing standards and reports (listed in Chapter 2 and references).
This standard does not specify design methods, but it provides input parameters for the design of building envelopes, heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting.
