Analysis of thermal environment indices and air quality inside a wooden historic church in Wisniowa
The paper presents a computational analysis of the PMV, PPD and PD
thermal environment indices for indoor air quality (IAQ) inside a historic wooden
church in the village of Wiśniowa. The study is based on annual measurements of
indoor air parameters as well as data on the number of Sunday Mass attendees and
indoor air quality. As the results point out, indoor thermal comfort during the majority
of Sunday Masses, both in summer and winter, remains within category C
while the indoor air quality, assessed by means of PD index, levelled at 100%, irrespective
of time of year. The improvement of inside air comfort and hygienic
standards is possible by means of installing an effective mechanical ventilation
system adapted for use in a historic building of high value in terms of local material
culture.
