SP6 - Indoors
SP6 investigates the indoor climate of research apartments through long-term monitoring and modeling to understand how heat and air quality conditions change under climate change and various adaptation scenarios.
The goal of SP6 is to analyze the thermal and air quality characteristics inside six research apartments in Braunschweig through continuous monitoring over at least one year. Since people spend most of their time indoors, SP6 aims to characterize the dynamic behavior of the indoor microclimate in relation to outdoor weather conditions, local urban climate modifications, and occupant activities (e.g., heat and pollution sources from cooking and cleaning, ventilation rates, and infiltration of outdoor air).
The expected outcomes include detailed, long-term, and high-resolution temporal profiles of indoor thermal and air quality conditions during both day and night (Phase 1). In Phase 2, numerical modeling with PALM and an indoor air quality model will be used to examine how indoor environments may change as a result of climate change and different adaptation scenarios (e.g., green walls and roofs, urban greening, varying occupant activities, and changes in outdoor air pollution).
