[bldg-sim] therm

[Joe Huang]

But what do you get as a result?  If it's only the stead-state conductance, then the dynamics of thermal mass, diffusivity, etc., which are quite important for walls, esp. heavy-mass walls, will be lost. There has been work done at Oak Ridge and here (LBNL) on modeling 2-D heat flows dynamically, and then creating either equivalent one-dimensional wall layers (the Oak Ridge approach) or equivalent one-dimensional response factors (the LBNL approach).

  Alpana,

   

  Yes, you can use THERM for modeling a wall section.

  Hi,

   

  Does anyone know if it is possible to model a wall section (that is not glass) using therm?

   

  Thanks 

  Alpana
