Abstract

The purpose of this study is to confirm the effectiveness of outdoor reset temperature control to reduce overshooting of indoor temperature and maintain a stable indoor environment. Experiments were conducted by comparison between a system applying outdoor reset temperature control and one applying a constant hot water temperature (simulation of district heating). In the results, although the former decreased energy consumption and increased the comfortable period, the pick-up load time also increased. Additionally, in the case of a lower reset line, the comfort period increased whereas the pick-up load time also increased.
