مستخلص: Finding the balance between CO2 concentration and thermal comfort is very important during the heating season in a daycare classroom due to the impact it has on children's health. Air treatment systems together with outdoor hygrothermal conditions are decisive in finding this balance. The objective of this work is to evaluate the impact that three air treatment systems, ventilation, conditioning, and air cleaning, have on thermal comfort and CO2 concentration in the two breathing planes defined by the occupants of a daycare classroom. Eight experimental tests were carried out, using different combinations of air systems. Temperature, relative humidity, and CO2 concentration are measured at eight points in the classroom: four in the children's breathing plane (0.75 m) and the other four in that of an adult (1.7 m). The results show, on the one hand, that the ventilation or conditioning systems improve the indoor CO2 concentration in the two planes, equalizing it in the two planes and, on the other hand, that the sensation of cold is greater in the children's breathing plane than in the adult's breathing plane in all the experimental tests studied.
