   Modification of target temperature in passenger coaches  evaluated  
The target values for temperature and ventilation inside passenger coaches have a great influence on the energy demand for coach climatisation. In many cases these target values can be slightly modified without reducing customer satisfaction while at the same time reducing energy consumption. Often such a change in the operation of air-conditioning can even improve passenger comfort.
