Economic analysis of foundation heat gain for refrigerated warehouses.

Author(s) : CHUANGCHID P., KRARTI M.

Summary

A set of recommendations on the optimal R-values for thermal insulation to be placed underneath the foundation of refrigerated warehouses is presented. The analysis is based on results from a simplified tool for calculating foundation heat gain for refrigerated warehouses. Three insulation configurations are considered: horizontal uniform insulation, horizontal perimeter insulation, and vertical perimeter insulation (placed along the foundation walls).
