A Comparative Study on Thermal Performance of Passive Solar Schoolrooms using SUNCODE |
| Abstract |
This paper studies thermal performances of three types of schoolroom configurations designed following the oil crisis in the late 70's. Each design contains distinctive characteristics in trapping and utilization of solar energy. To carry out the thermal analysis here, numerical simulations using SUNCODE as well as on-site measurements are performed for a certain period of time (unsteady state). The results are then extended to predict long term performances. |
