Two-dimensional heat transfer beneath a modern commercial building: comparison of numerical prediction with field measurement.

Author(s) : REES S. W., THOMAS H. R.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The article presents a numerical analysis of two-dimensional heat transfer through the ground floor slab of a modern commercial building. It applies a finite-element model of heat conduction to the thermal performance of a concrete slab of normal weight. It also briefly describes the relevant experimental data and material properties. It states the results show a very good correlation between numerically simulated and field-measured thermal responses. It illustrates a practical approach for the determination of a representative initial temperature distribution.
