Abstract Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are critical for maintaining thermal comfort in office environments which also crucial for occupant well-being and productivity. This study investigates the impact of integrating ceiling fans with higher air conditioning setpoints on thermal comfort and energy efficiency in office environments. Field measurements and questionnaire surveys were conducted to evaluate thermal comfort and energy-saving potential under varying conditions. Results show that increasing the AC setpoint from 25°C to 27°C, combined with ceiling fan operation, reduced power consumption by 10%, achieving significant energy savings. Survey data confirmed that 85% of… More >
