Description
Summary:In this paper, the transient thermal model of a “Winter House” has been presented for a cold climatic region of Srinagar in India. In order to reduce the fluctuations in living room temperature, the effect of an isothermal mass has been incorporated in the thermal model. An analytical expression for room temperature has been derived to evaluate the performance of the “Winter House” by incorporating the effect of movable insulation during the night. Numerical calculations were done in terms of system as well as climatical parameters. Some isothermal mass, like water, has been considered to stabilize the room temperature throughout the day and right. For further heating, the effect of the roof as an air collector has also been taken into account.
