Full-Scale Experiments on Energy-Saving Modification for Existing Urban Houses in MalaysiarnPart 1. Numerical simulation on optimum combinations of passive cooling techniques

摘要

The combination of four modification techniques, includingrnroof insulation, external wall outside insulation, external shading,rnand whole house ventilation was proposed to improve indoorrnthermal comfort in the Malaysian terraced houses during the dayrnand night. The exact performance of the above combinationsrnwould be investigated by using the full-scale experimental housesrnin the next paper (Part 2).
