Simulation of Summer Thermal Stability and Comparison with Measurement

Abstract:

Thermal stability of the indoor environment in summer period is influenced by the local characteristics of the building site, building geometry, orientation of glazing, heat storage capacity of structures, method and intensity of ventilation, but also the size and characteristics of transparent surfaces and associated heat gains from sunlight. The intensity of solar radiation is a very important parameter that affects the temperature in the room. As a boundary condition in computer simulations is used “Reference climatic year”, but the values are more or less different from the actual measured data. This article presents a comparison of the dynamic calculation of the temperature in the room with the real measured values. In addition, the calculation is modified by substitution of actually measured climate data.
