Rapid Thermal Calibration of Houses

Everett, R. (1985). Rapid Thermal Calibration of Houses. ERG Report 55; Energy Research Group, The Open University, Milton Keynes.

Abstract

This report describes the development of a method for determining the basic thermal properties of a house, its fabric heat loss, basic air infiltration characteristics and response to solar gains in a short period of intensive measurement, typically two to three weeks. The relation of these results with occupied house measurements is also discussed and the work is illustrated by data from three housing field trials in Milton Keynes.
