The aim of this study is to determine how time lag and decrement factor are affected by wall
orientation and exterior surface solar absorptivity, for specific climatic conditions. Their …

Heat transfer continues to be a major field of interest to engineering and scientific
researchers, as well as designers, developers, and manufacturers. The wealth of …

The selection of the type of glazing as well as its proportion to the total wall area are very
important towards achieving a desirable indoor environment. This paper uses a dynamic …

In this paper, the use of an uneven nodal network in floor heating simulation with finite
difference heat balance method is examined. Two floor heating test cases, homogenous and …

In this study, the thermal performance and the energy requirements of a building single-zone
are investigated for both the cooling and heating seasons by employing a thermal-network …

The thermo-radiative model LASER/F aims at computing the energy balance of a district.
The components of the urban fabric are represented in vectorial 3D and the scene is …

The Dynamic Thermal Network (DTN) approach to the modelling of transient conduction was
conceived by Claesson (1999, 2002, 2003) as an extension of the network representation of …

Improving building energy efficiency is of paramount importance due to the large proportion
of energy consumed by thermal operations. Consequently, simulating a building's …

Dans un environnement complexe, comme une zone urbaine, le microclimat est
essentiellement gouverné par les échanges d'énergie locaux. Ces échanges se font sous …

A building wall consists of one or more layers of homogeneous material. To examine its
thermal behaviour in unsteady conditions using finite difference methods, a thin layer of …
