Summary

This work presents a fast and simplified numerical model designed to simulate the temporal evolution of temperature and humidity within industrial and residential buildings. A case study of an industrial plant in Spain is examined to understand its thermal dynamics and enhance staff comfort, particularly during high summer temperatures. The model integrates historical data of external temperature and solar radiation as boundary conditions to capture external influences on the plant’s temperature. With transient box models, the simulation can predict temperature and humidity variations within the plant, considering factors such as wall composition, orientation, and solar radiation impact. The model also accounts for the ventilation system and internal heat generation from machinery, providing a comprehensive representation of thermal interactions within the industrial environment. Calibration of the model against experimental data demonstrates its accuracy in predicting temperature profiles within the plant. Detailed insights into wall temperature distributions, heat balances, and overall building heat contributions are obtained, offering valuable information for optimizing building comfort and energy efficiency.
