Dynamic response factor estimation: a point algebraic method.

Summary

Thermal response factors offer an accurate way to characterize the performance of building components. Although the existing techniques use time-series methods, they also require special environmental apparatus and boundary conditions in order to achieve consistent results. A novel method for estimating the response of building components in unsteady boundary conditions is developed and then compared against the standard U-value method. The U-value is determined and then compared to the theoretically predicted value. Linear vector and nonlinear thermal systems are considered.
