[BLDG-SIM] Time Lag and Decrement Factor associated to CTF

[Jeffrey Spitler]

Rego,
They came out of the ASHRAE RP-472 work.  You could consult:
1) The final report, available from ASHRAE.
2) Steve Harris' PhD thesis.  (It is available online from UMI
     Proquest Digital Dissertations:
     http://wwwlib.umi.com/dissertations/gateway

Main Author:       Harris, Steven Merrill,
Title:             A study to categorize walls and roofs on the basis of
                       thermal response /
          :         1988

3) There is a 1988 paper by Harris and McQuiston, but at a quick glance, it 
doesn't
      show how the decrement factors were derived:
A study to categorise walls and roofs on the basis of thermal response
AUTHOR: Harris S M., McQuiston F C.
CITATION: ASHRAE Trans. 1988, vol.94, Part 2, 688-715, 4 figs, 6 tabs, refs.
KEYWORDS: Walls, roofs, heat flow, thermal inertia
YEAR: 1988

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
Jeff Spitler
