In Situ Thermal Transmittance Measurements for Investigating Differences between Wall Models and Actual Building Performance

An accurate assessment of a building’s wall performance, defined through the thermal transmittance, is essential to compute the annual energy consumption. Analyzing opaque surfaces, the heat transfer across walls can be modeled by an electro-thermal analogy, based on resistors series, crossed by a o...
