THERMAL ANALYSIS OF BUILDINGS: CONFIGURATION PERTURBATIONS AND OBSERVED CLIMATE INTERFACE.

Author(s) : SULLIVAN R.

Summary

RESULTS ARE PRESENTED THAT INDICATE A PROPORTIONAL RELATION-SHIP BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL BUILDING THERMAL LOADS FOR VARYING CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS. IT IS SHOWN THAT THE FORM OF THE RELATIONSHIP IS INDEPENDENT OF CLIMATIC LOCATION AND COVERS A BROAD SPECTRUM OF THOSE VARIABLES THAT INFLUENCE A BUILDING'S ENERGY USE. A SIMPLIFIED THEORETICAL JUSTIFICATION ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH A PHENOMENON IS PRESENTED. PROCEDURES ARE DEFINED FOR THE SIMPLIFICATION OF FUTURE PARAMETRIC STUDIES OF THE THERMAL ANALYSIS OF BUILDINGS.
