Purpose Heat gain in buildings occurs due to heat transfer through the building fabric or envelope, especially the … walls from heat gain to promote thermal comfort in naturally ventilated buildings and reduce the energy loads due to …

daylighting systems, as renewable energy sources, generates extra heat gain in building interiors in the tropics. …

. Based on experimental data of total heat gain and total cooling loads collected within 24-h, radiant heat gain and radiant …

differences between estimated heat gain values and those given in ASHRAE by RTS (radiant time series) method change between 0 and …

cooling load by around 4% in a typical commercial building. With respect to the envelope heat gain, the reduction could be …

A new inverse method is proposed for estimation of thermal inertia and heat gain in air conditioning and refrigeration …, British Columbia, Canada during one week of its regular operation. The thermal inertia and instantaneous heat gain are …

-DSF. The results show that the ventilated PV-DSF provides the lowest average solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and the non … ventilation design can not only reduce the heat gain of PV-DSF but also improve the energy conversion efficiency of PV modules by …

reflectance of 0.74) reduces the peak roof temperature, indoor air temperature and daily heat gain by up to 14.1 °C, 2.4 °C and 0 … reasonable accuracy. Further model predictions suggested that significant daily heat gain reduction can also be achieved by cool … coating on galvanized steel (metal) roofs. The daily heat gain reduction brought by the cool coating drops as the roof exposes …

of two types of walls was simulated. Compared with a normal wall, the south-facing PV wall could reduce heat gain through … the envelope by 51% in summer under Hong Kong weather conditions. The impact of the PV wall on the envelope’s heat gain … significantly reduce the heat gain through the envelope in daytime, but also reduce the heat loss at nighttime. The heat gain and …
