7. (i)
(ii)
In order to allow the computation of the winter heat loss from a
building, overall heat transfer coefficients must be evaluated for
each element of the building envelope - walls, glazing, roof.
Incorporated into these U-values are inside and outside
radiation heat transfer coefficients, the recommended values of
which are 5.7% and 4.6ɛ W/m²K respectively. Verify these
figures for inside and outside design temperature of 20°C and 0
°C. Comment on any assumptions made.
The external wall of the Royal College Building consists of 600
mm thick sandstone (k = 1.5 W/mK) lined on the inside with 16
mm plaster (k = 0.46 W/mK). Taking the inside and outside
convection heat transfer coefficients as 3.0 and 7.7 W/m²K
respectively, and the surface emissivity value of 0.95,
determine:
(a) the overall heat transfer coefficient and the design heat
loss per unit area
(b)
the temperature halfway-through the sandstone.
