Thermal comfort in buildings through a mixed water-mass thermal storage wall
Abstract This communication presents a time dependent periodic heat transfer analysis of a non-airconditioned building having south facing thermal storage mixed water-mass wall. The outer surfaces of walls/roof are exposed to periodic solar radiation and atmospheric air temperature while the inner surfaces are in contact with variable inside air temperature. The effects of heat transfer through walls and roof, heat conduction to the basement ground and furnishings as well as heat loss due to air ventilation have been incorporated into the building model. Explicit solution for the inside air temperature and periodic heat flux through the thermal storage mixed water-mass wall have been obtained. Numerical calculations show that a concrete-water concrete mixed thermal storage wall is more desirable than a pure water or pure concrete mass Trombe wall for providing excellent thermal comfort in buildings.
