Author(s) : GIBBS P.

Type of article: Article

Summary

DESCRIBES A METHOD OF CALCULATING THE DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF A BUILDING ELEMENT TO CHANGING CLIMATIC CONDITIONS IN AUSTRALIA. THE METHOD ASSUMES THAT ALL HEAT FLOW IS ONE-DIMENSIONAL AND THAT THE BUILDING ELEMENT IS COMPOSED OF A NUMBER OF HOMOGENEOUS SLABS IN GOOD THERMAL CONTACT. DISCUSSES THE VARIOUS HEAT EXCHANGE PROCESSES AT THE SURFACE AND GIVES A METHOD FOR CALCULATING THE SOL-AIR TMER PRESENTS SOME RESULTS OF A SURFACE TEMPERATURE CALCULATION FOR A BRICK-CLAD TIMBER-FRAME WALL. SUGGESTS THAT THE METHOD WILL BE PARTICULARLY HELPFUL IN THE AREA OF ASSESSING MATERIALS DURABILITY. (INT. BUILD. SERV. ABSTR., GB., 25, N 4, 1990/07-08, 90-01255.
