Summary

A transition test method is developed for determining the thermal properties of building materials using a guarded hot box apparatus. Compared with the conventional test method, this new approach can reduce the test time from 24 hours to within only 2 hours. For determining the temperature-dependent thermal conductance (equivalent value) of a sample of transparent insulation materials, several days can be saved. The method can be used to measure the insulation properties of materials with low thermal conductance, to which the conventional method cannot be applied with a guarded hot box.
