| Summary: | 10% in a warm climate and just 2% in a cooler climate. The a building in a theoretical analysis. The computer a wall or building. The heat transfer simulations include airflow direction and magnitude in building exterior walls, application of theoretical models of heat transfer in calculation equations which account for the interaction among compared against the performance of a building experiencing computer simulations, to determine the energy performance of conduction heat transfer, solar gain, and infiltration heat considered economically feasible in light of the projected considered for application in future experimental tests, if cooler climate. The results were less promising when designing walls especially suited to this application has determine optimum arrangements of induced (or controlled) developed porous walls which are dubbed "dynamic walls." This dynamic walls, or walls which behave in a similar fashion, in effect is not considered), annual energy savings were found energy savings they produce. extent, like a heat exchanger. Recent research toward found with a standard calculation (where the interaction in a building. Comparing the energy use of a building which in a warm climate as high as 17%, and as high as 30% in a its exterior walls: the best annual savings percentages were natural, or not induced, airflow (and heat recovery) through received only limited previous study. The goal of modeling simulations which apply the calculations to model the energy specific building airflow arrangements which produce the best study attempts to determine the optimum application of study. The results of the theoretical analysis made for this the behavior of a building with these simulations is to the dynamic walls and/or building airflow control system are theoretical performances found in this study should be thesis show that significant energy savings can be realized This thesis provides a description of the methods of transfer in building walls. This interaction effect has use of a building have been written especially for this uses airflow control in dynamic walls with the energy use where the walls can be considered porous and can act, to an with the use of controlled airflow through non-airtight walls |
