Abstract

This article is to study and gather data on the thermal conditioning area in the Library building Suranaree University of Technology. The concrete building has 6,500 square meters of usable space in the building. Cold air has a total of 32 series, representing 3,618,000 Btu/h. The average consumption is 113,354 kWh/month. The study monitoring and data collection on 4-15 March 2562 at 10:00 am - 15.00 pm. Including temperature sensing Measuring wind speed Humidity Measurement. The service area Library building's average temperature was 24.18˚C, humidity 35.75%, wind speed 0.46 m/s. When the values stated in the CBE Thermal Comfort Tool (ASHRAE Standard 55-2017) for the PMV. In the service area Library building of the weather is quite cold - cold. This condition does not match the scope of standard comfort ASHRAE Standard 55-2017. The need to adjust the temperature to rise to match the boundary conditions 2˚C comfort standard ASHRAE Standard 55-2017. It can also reduce energy consumption further. 20% of energy consumption from air conditioning.
