An Experimental Study on the Thermal Characteristics of Building Opaque Walls |
| Abstract |
This paper gives a brief account of heat transfer processes in building envelopes especially with different components of radiation, conduction, convection, surface film coefficients, and their influence on the thermal environments.For the purpose of examining the thermal characteristics of external walls, four experimental model buildings, are constructed with different thermal properties. Through the measurement of temperatures at various points, heat transfer characteristics can be evaluated by expression of film coefficient and sol-air-temperature from the heat balance equations. |
