Is the actual heat loss factor substantially smaller than you calculated?

Author(s) : LIU M., CLARIDGE D. E.

Summary

Measured values of conductive heat loss factor are often significantly smaller than the calculated design value. The study shows that the coheating method generally underestimates the heat loss factor due to neglect of heat gains from thermal masses during the night, while the classic calculation generally overestimates the heat loss factor due to neglect of air infiltration heat recovery.
