Research Abstract

Large space buildings, such as airport terminal buildings, consume high energy due to the cooling demand; especially in hot arid climates; to achieve passenger thermal comfort. Evaluation of thermal environment and energy analysis inside airports is an important issue, in terms of reducing energy and controlling indoor environments. This work aims to analyze electrical energy consumption and the indoor environment of the terminal building at Assiut International Airport, Egypt as a case study. Indoor environmental conditions, and energy consumption with HVAC systems, were monitored inside five multiple functional zones within the terminal building (Departure hall, Public area, Duty-free hall, Gate, and Arrival hall) during summer (August 2017). The indoor environmental parameters monitored include: temperature, relative humidity, and illuminance. The results indicate the HVAC system consumed the largest …
