    Kontorslokaler nyttjas generellt cirka 2500 av Ärets 8760 timmar. Ett vanligt problem med kontorslokaler Àr det termiska klimatet, antingen Àr det för varmt, för kallt, eller sÄ drar det. Höga temperaturer, över ca 26°C, bidrar till trötthet, nedsatt koncentration och gör att luften kÀnns mindre frÀsch. Stora variationen av lasten mellan dag och nattetid kan ocksÄ resultera i att lokalerna överventileras under nattetid och underventileras under dagtid. Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka och jÀmföra Ecoclimes komforttaks lösning med andra olika vÀrme och kylsystem i kontorslokaler. Att undersöka vilka eventuella fördelar Ecoclimes komforttak har gÀllande komfort, kyla, ventilation och ur energisynpunkt. Simuleringsprogrammet IDA ICE har anvÀnts för att simulera komforten och rumstemperaturer för ett kontor och ett konferensrum i en byggnad placerad i centrala UmeÄ. Resultaten frÄn simuleringar indikerar att Ecoclimes komforttak, sÀnker den operativa temperaturen och höjer komforten med en mindre andel missnöjda i sitt rum jÀmfört med andra system trots samma rumstemperatur. För att bedömma andelen missnöjda i ett rum har komfortindexet PMV(Predicted mean vote) och PPD(Predicted percentage dissatisfied) anvÀnts. Den höga passiva effekten bidrar ocksÄ till mindre energianvÀndning av ventilationsflÀktar ifall ett VAV-system med rumstempertaurreglering anvÀnds. Vidare har en kÀnslighetsanalys genomförts pÄ komforttaken dÀr det undersöks hur kyleffekten pÄverkar kyltider, temperatur och komfort. KÀnslighetsanalysen visar att en ökning eller minskning av kyleffekten med 10% pÄverkar resultaten mest under en mycket varm dag jÀmfört med en normalvarm. Skillnaden i komfort var dock liten, endast 0,2 procentenheter frÄn grundfallet
