Earth Wall Heat Storage Impact on Indoor Air and Surface Temperature during an Extreme Summer Week

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is focused on evaluating heat storage impact on indoor air and surface temperature in simulated space environment utilizing methodology described in a STN standards. Reference model is a basic room with inside and outside walls built with rammed earth. Simulation run is taken in extreme summer week. Results are afterwards compared to STN standards conditions and evaluated.
