Indoor Climate, Outdoor Climate and Energy Consumption: A New Approach to the Calculation of the Effect of the Outdoor and Indoor Climate on the Energy Consumption in Buildings Based on Methods of Statistical Analysis

摘要

The calculation efficiency of the yearly energy consumption of HVAC systems by improving the calculation method and by developing compact models of the building's thermal behavior and of the outdoor climate. Emphasis is on modeling the outdoor climate. The thermal behavior of the building is the combined effect of the solar radiation, the outdoor temperature, the energy sources and sinks within the building and the thermal behavior of the structure. It is characterized with the response factor method. With this method an excitation variable (for example the solar radiation) and the variable of interest (the indoor temperature or the cooling load) are related by a series of response factors. An experimental validation is given based on measurements of the indoor- and outdoor climate of a specific room in an excisting building. Also measurements are done on a 'climate room', which is specially designed to check these response factors.
