Utilization of Multiple Short Heat Consumption Measurement Method for Diagnostics of Heat Source of Existing Building: Part 1: Theoretical Basis of the Method

Abstract

The thermal diagnostics of heating systems and heat source is connected with the verification of compatibility of the required and actual power of the heat source and heating systems [1, 4]. Determining the required power is one of the tasks of thermal heat source diagnostics. The need to perform such diagnostics periodically is due to national regulations and standards and the directives of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe. It is not always easy to determine the required heat power for existing residential building. The scale of difficulty increases with the increase in the cubic capacity and the number of building users. The lack of construction documentation for the building, lack of knowledge about the composition of the layered construction partitions, forming the outer coating of the heated space, aging of
