“…Figure 4 shows the course of the average dry temperature inside the organization. The course of the measured temperatures at the individual height levels (1.7 m; 1.1 m; 0.1 m) was relatively consistent, in line with Králiková et al [59] Differences in temperatures at different height levels were only noted in the changing rooms and storage room. The temperature at the torso level was higher than at the head level in changing rooms and toilets after last work's hour.…”

The quality of work environment, temperature changes and humidity must be controlled in every production process and in the locations where employees are present. The aim of this paper is to objectively assess the exposure of employees to microclimatic factors of the workplace environment: the warehouse, changing rooms, office and cold room refrigerator. Data were obtained in real working conditions. The heat stress due to cold and heat exposure in the individual locations was evaluated using the WBGT (wet bulb globe temperature) indicator. The parameters of the hygrothermal microclimate (HTM) were objectified by a QUES Temp 44/46 T spherical thermometer. The measurements were performed both in cold and hot periods of the year. The measurements confirmed standard temperatures for individual types of interiors in the winter period, but in the summer period there was a variability of results, leading to the thermal discomfort of employees. The assessment of the WBGT index revealed that nearly 80% of employees are susceptible to hypothermia as a result of thermal stress conditions. It was proven that the temperatures measured by a spherical thermometer in the hottest room were 8.62% higher than the calculated operating temperature, while the difference in the cold room refrigerator was only 1.28% higher.

“…However, there are publications on indoor air quality in industrial buildings, where the internal conditions are significantly affected by the operation of technological equipment, and related to the estimation of thermal comfort of employees [4,5], and the functioning of industrial ventilation [6,7]. In consequence, modernly, when designing non-air-conditioned industrial rooms, it is recommended to adopt conditions as for office rooms [8], using appropriate standards for thermal comfort [9] and thermal loads [10].…”

Abstract. The crucial impact on the indoor air quality in technological rooms, including boiler plant buildings, is made by operation of technological devices and ventilation systems. Therefore, the distribution of air temperature and velocity in these rooms mainly depends on location and heat gains generated by combustion devices, as well as emplacement of air supply and air exhaust elements. The temperature and airflow volume of supplied air is also an issue, because the indoor environment parameters are formed by the flow of air in the working area. Determination of the impact of physical factors on the thermal environment in a room is possible using an analysis of the air temperature and velocity. This issue is vital in terms of necessity to maintain the adequate heat conditions in the working area. Therefore, basing on the experimental measurements and numerical calculations (made in DesignBuilder software), the distribution of air temperature and velocity was analyzed in the selected industrial boiler room, located in the Lodz city, in Poland. The results obtained were compared with the recommended and limit values in the industrial buildings.

There are application in technology processes where the fast determination of the temperature changes is important to achieve a stable process. The standard temperature sensors has a specific time-period to provide the information about the real temperature of the media. To get a fast response there is a possibility to use an ultrasonic method to determine the change and the real temperature as well. The goal of this study is to test the response time, correlation and reliability of ultrasonic measurement method for determination of water temperature as a part of further drinking water studies and analysis.
