Abstract:

The main idea of this article is taking advantage of heat energy accumulation in building walls in order to design more effective heating system. Essential article goal is to simulate thermal construction responses in dependence on changing boundary conditions. Model geometry has been developed in virtual design studio CA TIA and implemented in numerical simulation software COMSOL Multiphysics, with the intention to predict environmental temperature precisely. A three- dimensional finite element model of laboratory was developed with the aim of achieving detail energy transfer in the real buildings during the transient process in the walls and internal air. On the contrary, many articles utilizing water or wax energy storage to decrease heating/cooling costs this work is focused on future optimization of control strategy based on heat accumulation in walls without requirement of any additional material. In this paper simulated temperature development is analyzed in the building which is consequently verified by experimentally measured temperature data.
