Influence of Degradation of Surface Layer of Light-Weighted Panels on its Sunray Absorptance Šťastník Stanislav1,a, Vala Jiří1,b, Šot František1,c and Majsniar Michal1,d 1Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering, 602 00 Brno, Veveří 95, Czech Republic astastnik.s@fce.vutbr.cz, bvala.j@fce.vutbr.cz, csot.f@fce.vutbr.cz, dmajsniar.m@fce.vutbr.cz Keywords: light-weighted panels, surface degradation, sunray absorptance.
Such thin and though layers support decorative quality, high ultraviolet radiation and chemical resistance, as well as climatic stability, which results in their utilization in civil engineering, agriculture, automotive industry, etc.
The approach of this paper is based on the coupling of i) the experimental results, based on the well-considered measurement methodology in the laboratory of building physics at the Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Institute of Building Materials and Components, and ii) the original computational tool, based on the system approach to the analysis of thermal fluxes in buildings and their components, relying on the numerical finite difference techniques, implemented (at the same institute) in the Delphi environment, using programming language Pascal.
