THE PROGRAM CALCULATES ROOM TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS USING A SYSTEM OF HEAT BALANCE EQUATIONS SOLVED BY AN ITERATIVE, FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD. HEAT TRANSFER BY CONDUCTION INSIDE WALLS AND FLOORS, CONVECTION BETWEEN ROOM SURFACES AND ROOM AIR AND RADIATION BETWEEN ROOM SURFACES IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AT EVERY TIME STEP. DRAWS ATTENTION TO POTENTIAL ENERGY SAVING THROUGH THE PROPER USE OF THE HEAT CAPACITY OF BUILDINGS. (INT. BUILD. SERV. ABSTR., GB., 25, N 6, 1990/11-12, 90-01650.
