In the field of building energy - saving design, temperature measurement is a core element for realizing energy - efficient utilization and creating a comfortable indoor environment.
In the thermal insulation design of buildings, temperature measurement helps to evaluate the performance of thermal insulation materials. By installing temperature sensors on the inner and outer walls, roofs, and other parts of the building, the temperature difference under different seasons and climate conditions can be measured. For example, in summer, high - quality thermal insulation materials can make the indoor temperature significantly lower than the outdoor temperature, reducing the use of air conditioners. Based on temperature measurement data, appropriate thermal insulation materials, such as polystyrene foam board and rock wool, can be selected to optimize the thermal insulation structure of the building and reduce heat transfer.
For the design of the ventilation system of the building, temperature measurement plays a guiding role. Natural ventilation is an energy - saving ventilation method. By installing temperature sensors at different positions in the building, the indoor - outdoor temperature difference and air flow situation can be monitored. When there is an appropriate temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor, reasonably designed vents and ventilation channels can promote the natural circulation of air, take away the indoor heat, and reduce the indoor temperature. In the mechanical ventilation system, temperature sensors can automatically adjust the ventilation volume according to the indoor temperature to avoid energy loss caused by excessive ventilation.
In the design of heating and cooling systems in buildings, accurate temperature measurement is even more indispensable. The intelligent temperature control system can automatically adjust the operation of heating or cooling equipment according to the change of indoor temperature. By controlling the temperature in zones, such as setting independent temperature sensors and control units in different rooms or functional areas, different temperature requirements can be met and energy waste can be avoided. For example, in an office building, meeting rooms with a large number of people and storage rooms with relatively few people can have different temperature settings to improve energy utilization efficiency.
