Abstract

The collective concern for global warming is changing the way we behave and we act in our daily life in order to reduce energy consumption and our CO₂ footprint. However, since healthier and more comfortable environments are needed, the best solution is a well-balanced relationship between these two issues. The present article exposes a methodology for a multiobjective analysis which takes into account the consumption and energy efficiency as well as the thermal comfort, based on a field study in non-residential buildings and the application of fuzzy logic. As a result, an improvement related to energy saving and lower costs for buildings’ owners without detrimental to occupants’ thermal comfort and productivity is expected.
