Type of article: Article

Summary

FEATURES OF THE METHOD INCLUDE: MODELLING OF DIFFERENT MULTI-LAYERED ELEMENTS IN THE EXTERIOR SHELL AND DIFFERENT MULTI-LAYERED HIGH-MASS OBJECTS INSIDE THE BUILDING SUCH AS SUSPENDED FLOORS IN GROUND CONTACT AND PARTITION WALLS. THE SINGLE VALUE OBTAINED FOR HEAT STORAGE IS INCORPORATED IN A THERMAL NETWORK WHICH IS SOLVED NUMERICALLY TO DETERMINE HOURLY AIR TEMPERATURES AND SENSIBLE ENERGY LOADS TO ENSURE FAST AND EFFICIENT BUILDING THERMAL ANALYSIS. VERIFICATION FOR 62 CASES SHOWED THAT FOR 80 % OF THE TIME TEMPERATURE PREDICTIONS WERE WITHIN 2 K OF MEASUREMENTS.
