Application of Double-Sided Heat Flow Meter in Testing of Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient of Building Envelope

Abstract:

It is essential to find out the thermal property of building envelope in order to design economical and reasonable scheme of energy-saving reconstruction. Field testing is a method of receiving the thermal property of envelope when existing buildings are reconstructed. In this paper, we focus on the need for obtaining the thermal transfer coefficient. A methoddouble-sided heat flow meter was introduced and used to test the thermal property of wall. The testing results show that it provides a feasible method for colleting basal data of energy-saving reconstruction of existing buildings.
