Heat pumps together with ground heat exchangers favorably shape thermal comfort in summer. This study examines whether the use of modifications to the construction and location solutions adopted in a passive standard school building in Budzów could sufficiently reduce overheating in summer, thus eliminating the need for building services. Through simulation in Design Builder, the conditions that arise for various modifications of the exterior and interior insulation systems used in the school were considered. Also analyzed were various possibilities for the orientation of the selected classroom in relation to the cardinal directions. Rotations of the school building model by 90°,180° and 270° respectively, were done. Simulations were carried out for the two-month period between May 1 and June 31. The results presented showed that the mechanical ventilation system, in combination with a source of cooling in the form of a ground heat exchanger and heat pump, can effectively reduce discomfort in summer on its own. The other suggested modifications to the building, were not as effective as ground cooling. In order to objectively assess comfort conditions, this study proposes a different and very simple way of estimating the measure of discomfort associated with overheating.
