@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9123, title = {Analytical Model for Predicting Whole Building Heat Transfer}, author = {Xiaoshu Lu and Martti Viljanen}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {A new analytical model is developed which provides close-formed solutions for both transient indoor and envelope temperature changes in buildings. Time-dependent boundary temperature is presented as Fourier series which can approximate real weather conditions. The final close-formed solutions are simple, concise, and comprehensive. The model was compared with numerical results and good accuracy was obtained. The model can be used as design and control guidelines in engineering applications for analysing mechanical heat transfer properties for buildings.}, journal = {International Journal of Architectural and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {4}, year = {2011}, pages = {203 - 207}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9123}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/52}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 52, 2011}, }
