Type of article: Article

Summary

A SIMPLIFIED DYNAMIC THERMAL RESPONSE MODEL HAS BEEN USED TO STUDY SUMMERTIME OVERHEATING IN TEMPORARY SCHOOL BUILDINGS AS A FUNCTION OF THERMAL INSULATION THICKNESS, BUILDING ORIENTATION, EXTERNAL COLOUR, SHADING, OCCUPANCY AND VENTILATION RAT PRACTICAL ADVICE ON AMELIORATIVE STRATEGIES IS GIVEN, AND THE PROVISION OF VENTILATION UNDER BUOYANCY-DRIVEN FLOW DISCUSSED IN SOME DETAIL. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT DYNAMIC THERMAL MODELLING COULD USEFULLY BE COMBINED WITH THE STACK EFFECT EQUATION FOR THE DESIGN OF NATURAL VENTILATION IN BUILDINGS.
