The body core temperature associated with a healthy human body is37C (98.6 F) and in order to remain comfortable the body attemptsto maintain thermal equilibrium with the surroundings.
Thermal balance between the body and its surroundings occurs bymeans of:
i. Evaporation
ii. Radiation
iii. Convection

The environmental factors that influence the modes of heat transferand hence, thermal comfort are:
i. Dry bulb temperature
ii. Relative humidity
iii. Air movement rateiv. Mean radiant temperature
Two other personal factors are also influential, namely:
i. Activity level
ii. Clothing

It is essential that the buildings be adjusted to serve people. Itshould not be the people who are required to be adopt to thebuildings.
Summer design temperature of 22C - 24C is a suitable choice forlong term sedentary occupancy in the U.A.E with humidity allowed
to swing between 50% -60% having air movement of 0.1 m/sec.
Benchmark optimum energy usage in summer satisfying thermalcomfort criteria with room temperature of 24C at 55% humidity.
Higher energy penalty in lowering of room temperature from thebenchmark level. Example, room temperature thermostat set at23C will increase 9% more energy consumption. At 22C, 18%energy penalty.

Degree hours or Degree days concept provides a measure to assesscooling energy demand hours based on the temperature differencebetween inside and outside of a building as related to period of timeunder consideration.
Example:
i. At external outdoor temperature 28C and indoor temperaturesetting at 24C in a particular hour cooling demand is consideredas 4 degree hours.
ii. As the outdoor temperature changes hourly, If the total degreehours within a 24 hours period is added up to a value of 60degree hours, then the average cooling demand is considered as
2.5 degree days.

The need for ventilation :
Fresh air required for breathing
(0.2 litres/sec.) directly proportional to metabolic rate
Dilution of the orders present to a socially acceptable level (7.5litres/sec. )

District Cooling is a system in which chilled water is distributed inpipes from a central cooling plant to buildings for space cooling andprocess cooling.
It contain three major elements: the cooling source, distributionsystem and customer installations.
Cooling sources: Vapor, compression chillers, absorption chillers.
Distribution system: Chilled water pumps and buried pipingnetwork
Customer installation: Tie-in connection Energy Transfer Station(ETS) ie. Heat Exchanger connected with secondary pumps fordistribution of chilled water to fan coil units & AHUs.
Conventional chilled water supply temperature: Between 4C - 5C(in the U.A.E).
