A framework to estimate heat energy loss in building operation

July 9, 2019 3:15 pm
Heat energy loss in buildings occurs by two means, namely Fabric Heat Loss and Ventilation Heat Loss. Loss occurs when energy flows out through building envelope from inner warmer air to cooler air located external to the building. The purpose of this study is to identify and estimate the proportion of Heat...Read More
