The need to reduce energy consumption whilst dealing with global climate change has reduced the options available for building comfortable, low-energy buildings. Research has been directed towards methods for increasing indoor winter temperatures but this can lead to lightweight, highly insulated buildings that respond poorly in the summer. CIBSE has responded by forming the Overheating Task Force.The Task Force realised that one problem for designers has been the absence of an adequate definition of overheating in naturally ventilated buildings. In the past overheating has been defined as a number of hours over a particular temperature, irrespective of conditions outside the building. Recent work embodied in European standards suggests that the temperature that occupants will find uncomfortable changes with the outdoor conditions in a predictable way. This research informs the CIBSE guidance presented in this Technical Memorandum. The meaning of the research and the link with overheating are explained and a series of criteria by which the risk of overheating can be assessed or identified are suggested.More detailed information about using simulation to predict the danger of overheating is available in CIBSE Guide A (CIBSE, 2006/2013). CIBSE KS16: How to manage overheating in buildings (2010) gives information directed at building managers and owners about the cause of overheating and some practical suggestions for avoiding or mitigating it. 517 $aLimits of Thermal Comfort - Avoiding Overheating in European Buildings - CIBSE TM52 606 $aBuildings$xThermal properties 606 $aHeating$xControl 606 $aVentilation$xControl 606 $aCivil & Environmental Engineering$2HILCC 606 $aEngineering & Applied Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aCivil Engineering$2HILCC 615 0$aBuildings$xThermal properties. 615 0$aHeating$xControl. 615 0$aVentilation$xControl. 615 7$aCivil & Environmental Engineering 615 7$aEngineering & Applied Sciences 615 7$aCivil Engineering 700 $aNicol$b Fergus$f1940-$01821919 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911007024903321 996 $aThe limits of thermal comfort : avoiding overheating in European buildings$94387874 997 $aUNINA
