Thermal Insulation and Radiation Control Technologies for Buildings
Author: Jan KośnyPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030986934
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 487
Book Description
This book offers a unique treatment of building insulating products and the integration of these products with building components. This book was written for all those involved in building design, specification, construction, and commissioning, providing them with an understanding of and appreciation for the wide variety of thermal insulation products and technologies available for use in all types of buildings. The book proceeds from basic definitions and discussion of heat-transfer topics and thermal insulation concepts, to the design and use of these products. The impact of thermal insulation on dynamic building performance, including factors other than heating and cooling, is also discussed. The book does not require an advanced mathematical background. The authors provide sufficient information to provide a qualitative understanding, with more mathematical sections included for those interested in modeling and analysis. The basic physics associated with heat transfer in buildings are presented, along with the steady-state and transient analysis techniques needed for the effective implementation of thermal insulation and assemblies. Modern building design involves the integration of comfort, safety, economics, durability and cost considerations, all of which impact the selection and use of thermal insulation materials in buildings. In addition to theoretical explanations of the underlying science, the book details the properties and application of new thermal insulation materials, including vacuum panels, gas-filled panels, aerogels, phase-change materials, and radiation control technologies. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to researchers and building engineers wishing to understand the latest technologies and materials available, so as to achieve reduced energy consumption in commercial and residential buildings.

Book Description
Heating and Cooling of Buildings: Principles and Practice of Energy Efficient Design, Third Edition is structured to provide a rigorous and comprehensive technical foundation and coverage to all the various elements inherent in the design of energy efficient and green buildings. Along with numerous new and revised examples, design case studies, and homework problems, the third edition includes the HCB software along with its extensive website material, which contains a wealth of data to support design analysis and planning. Based around current codes and standards, the Third Edition explores the latest technologies that are central to design and operation of today’s buildings. It serves as an up-to-date technical resource for future designers, practitioners, and researchers wishing to acquire a firm scientific foundation for improving the design and performance of buildings and the comfort of their occupants. For engineering and architecture students in undergraduate/graduate classes, this comprehensive textbook:
Effect of Wall Mass on the Annual Heating and Cooling Loads of Single-Family Residences for Five Selected Climates
Author: DM. BurchPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Energy conservation standards
Languages : en
Pages : 26
Book Description
The space heating and cooling loads for a typical house and a high-solar-gain house containing partition walls and interior furnishings are simulated using a computer program called the Thermal Analysis Research Program (TARP). Separate computer runs are carried out for the following wall constructions: insulated wood frame, insulated masonry with mass on the exterior, and insulated masonry with insulation sandwiched between interior and exterior mass. The reductions in annual space heating and cooling loads achieved in typical houses with masonry wall construction compared with identical houses with lightweight wood-frame wall construction are derived as a function of five climates. Insulation credits for energy conservation standards to account for reductions in space conditioning loads for masonry houses are investigated. The presence of interior mass features was observed to cause the typical house to approach a "static highmass limit" that coincided with steady-state theory. Under such a condition, wall mass was found to have a small effect on annual space heating and cooling loads.
