The building construction industry consumes a large amount of resources and energy and, owing to current global population growth trends, this situation is projected to deteriorate in the near future. Buildings consume approximately 40 percent of total global energy: during the construction phase in the form of embodied energy and during the operation phase as operating energy. Embodied energy is...
A simple, straightforward procedure to estimate the effective thermal mass of a building is established. Basic measurements of inside and outside temperatures are shown to exhibit several common characteristics, so that a single value for the effective thermal inertia can be derived. A relationship between the delay in the internal temperature to attain a maximum value with respect to the ambient,...
