A Data Analysis Technique to Estimate the Thermal Characteristics of a House

Abstract: Almost one third of the energy is used in the residential sector, and space heating is the largest part of energy consumption in our houses. Knowledge about the thermal characteristics of a house can increase the awareness of homeowners about the options to save energy, for example by showing that there is room for improvement of the insulation level. However, calculating the exact value of these characteristics is not possible without precise thermal experiments. In this paper, we propose a method to automati… Show more

“…Equation ( 3) dictates the temperature of the building T b at every timestep ∆t, which depends on the total gains of the building (HP output Qhp & heat from incident solar irradiation Qir ), the total building losses Qlos (conductive losses Qcond & ventilation losses Qvent ). Moreover, it depends on the total heating capacity: the building capacity C b = 4.755 kW h/K (a typical building value has been derived by [12]), and the capacity of the air volume inside the building, equal to V b = 585 m 3 , where C air and ρ air represent the air's specific heat capacity and density, respectively. The conductive & ventilation losses and incident irradiation heat gains are modeled in ( 5)-( 7) [3], respectively, where A surf , d surf & U surf the area, thickness & conductivity of every surface, T b & T a the building and ambient temperatures, r b the air change rate of the building assumed 0.35h −1 , G inc the incident irradiation on the building, w b = 0.3 the building's wall-to-window ratio and s b = 0.2 the solar heat gain coefficient of the windows.…”
