Abstract

The article presents the results of experimental research carried out in two real-scale detached energy-efficient single-family buildings designed to be almost identical with exempt to the construction of their external and internal walls; lightweight skeletal versus traditional masonry construction. The reduction of the average indoor temperature during the heatwave of August 2015 obtained by increasing the thermal mass of the building was 2.8 ± 0.34 °C, with the maximum value at the hottest part of the day being 3.4 °C. Replacing the lightweight frame structure of the walls with cellular concrete, in an exceptionally warm August, with an average outside temperature of 22.5 °C, shortened the total time of occurrence of indoor temperature higher than 28 °C from 18.6 days to only 8 h. The cooling effect of building thermal mass remained stable during all 14 days of heat wave with only slight diurnal variations. The total reduction in the cooling energy demand achieved was 67% at 25 °C set point temperature and 75% at set point temperature 26 °C respectively.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
