Heat Loss Rate of the Finnish Building Stock

Sustainability performance of hotel buildings in the Himalayan region

“…For the technical criterion, thermal performance of the building was chosen as heat loss rate of the building. The heat loss rate was chosen as a parameter to assess the fraction of the thermal power needed to compensate for the heat loss via building elements (Vihola et al, 2015). Moreover, building area and a number of guests were chosen as parameters as these have great influence on the energy consumption in the building and provide a good indication of building physical size.…”

Comparison of heating loads in residential, public and industrial buildings

“…The importance of taking into account the climate factor, and a year-round one herewith, in choosing the level of thermal protection is noted in [10]. It is proposed to achieve a reduction in heat consumption in the building under reconstruction by replacing old windows with modern window structures with mandatory prevention of violations of the temperature and humidity mode at the border of the window slope and the window structure itself [11,12,13] or / and by external wall thermal protection with modern mineral wool insulation materials [14]. Much attention is paid to the choice of an economically feasible thermal protection [1,15].…”
