Type of article: Article

Summary

RESPONSES TO CHANGES OF ENERGY INPUT TO AN ENCLOSURE ARE EXPONENTIAL IN NATURE. THE TIME SCALES ARE CHARACTERIZED BY ACTIVE (HEATING) AND PASSIVE (COOLING) TIME CONSTANTS. THE TIME CONSTANTS CAN BE EVALUATED FROM ROOM CONSTRUCTION PARAMETERS. HEATING AND COOLING PATHS ARE FOLLOWED SEQUENTIALLY RATHER THAN SIMULTANEOUSLY. A METHOD FOR PREDICTING HEATING AND COOLING TRAJECTORIES IS PRESENTED. VERIFICATION IS THROUGH REPRODUCTION OF TIME-TEMPERATURE RECORDS OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL TEST ROOM.
