An approach for the definition of the thermal regime of buildings for energy saving

Abstract

The research presented in this article addresses the critical issue of assessing thermal regimes in buildings and the subsequent development of energy-saving measures. With a focus on the thermal microclimate within urban areas, particularly in response to changing economic conditions and energy consumption patterns, the study investigates external factors influencing building thermal loads. Through a comprehensive methodology, the research explores the interplay between building elements, airflow dynamics, and energy consumption patterns. The study highlights the complexities of building thermal regimes, emphasizing the need for tailored solutions based on individual comfort requirements and environmental conditions. The findings highlight the significance of considering external disturbances, such as wind speed and direction, in assessing building thermal performance. The study provides insights into heat transfer mechanisms, boundary layer dynamics, and airflow distributions around buildings through numerical simulations and experimental validations. The proposed methodology offers a practical approach to enhancing building energy efficiency by optimizing heating systems, refining heat loss calculations, and improving thermal comfort for occupants. By considering a range of factors, from building orientation to external weather conditions, the study advocates for an individualized approach to building energy management, thereby paving the way for sustainable and environmentally conscious building practices.
