Experimental and Numerical Analysis of the Thermal Behavior of a Workspace: Case Study

This study investigates the thermal behavior of a workplace through both experimental and numerical approaches. During May 2024, a series of devices were installed to measure temperature variations within the workplace. In parallel, a numerical model was developed to simulate its thermal behavior. A comparison between experimental and simulated results demonstrated the reliability of the model, with an absolute uncertainty not exceeding 4%. The findings highlight that the region’s harsh climate, combined with the construction materials used, significantly contributes to the rise in indoor temperature, particularly during the summer period. In fact, the average indoor temperature was found to range between 28 °C and 30.5 °C. These results underline the necessity of considering alternative construction materials better suited to improving thermal comfort.
