Thermal comfort assessment of a flood-affected building microclimate

Abstract

In 2010, Plock Country, which is located in Poland, was affected by two flood waves that covered approx. 7 hectares of land located in two communes. This paper presents one of the single-family homes affected by the flooding. The aim of the work is to evaluate the building’s microclimate, in terms of its thermal comfort, on the basis of a conducted survey. The studies involved measurements of the basic microclimate parameters, including temperature, relative air humidity and temperature on the internal surface of the partition walls. On the basis of the survey results, analyses were made of the variability of the microclimate parameters as well as of the dependencies between these parameters inside the building.
