Trombe wall size-determination based on economic and thermal comfort viability

摘要

The present work attempts to develop an approach for Trombe wall (TW) sizing through an integrative appraisal of energy consumption, economics and thermal comfort. There are many studies in the literature regarding TW sizing and its energy and economic viability. Nevertheless, they lack the separate energy and economics life cycle cost assessments of the TW based on the cases of building being new or existing. Besides, they leave out thermal comfort aspect and insulation status of the buildings. The current study is an effort to fill those gaps.
