SIMULATION OF HEAT GAIN THROUGH BUILDING ENVELOPE FOR BUILDINGS IN HOT HUMID CLIMATES.

Author(s) : VECHAPHUTTI T.

Summary

AT FIRST AN INVESTIGATION OF ALL FACTORS TO BE USED FOR CALCUL ATING HEAT GAIN THROUGH BUILDING ENVELOPE ARE CONDUCTED. THE BUILDING ENVELOP IS SIMULATED BY VARYING ITS SHAPE, FENESTRATION AREA AND ORIENTATION OF THE BUILDING TO OBTAIN VARIOUS MODELS. THE EFFECTS OF THE VARIATIONOF CONFIGURATION FACTORS TO THE AVERAGE HEAT GAIN ARE ANALYZED AND THE OPTIMUM SHAPE OF THE BUILDING TO MINIMIZE AVERAGE HEAT GAIN IS CALCULATED WHEN MATERIALS, FENESTRATION AREA AND ORIENTATION ARE DEFINED. IN ORDER TO PROVIDE GUIDELINES FOR REDUCTION OF HEAT GAIN THROUGH THE BUILDINGS, THE EFFECTIVE SHADING COEFFICIENTS OF GENERAL EXTERNAL SHADING DEVICES ARE CALCULATED AND COMPARISONS ARE MADE USING 4 THERMAL INSULATING MATERIALS.
