Abstract

RODRIGUEZ-MUNOZ, Norma Alejandra; NAJERA-TREJO, Mario  and  MARTIN-DOMINGUEZ, Ignacio Ramiro. Thermal analysis of constructive systems at an office building through dynamic simulations. Ing. invest. y tecnol. [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.3, pp.279-289. ISSN 2594-0732.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fi.25940732e.2018.19n3.024.

A thermal analysis of an office building was performed with the use of a dynamic simulation software. This work focuses on the analysis of the constructive system contribution to the thermal performance of a 5500 m2 building. The studied building is located in a region within the BS1kw climate according to the Köppen climate classification. In this climate commonly referred as steppe, both air cooling and heating is needed in order to provide a satisfactory thermal comfort condition throughout the year. Within this weather is possible to incorporate several energy saving strategies so the heat gains and losses can be reduced. The analysis starts with basic bioclimatic incorporations and the selection of common construction and glazing materials. In order to analyze the thermal behavior of the building, the implementation of different glazing materials at the designed building were proposed and the comfort temperature range was established as an operating parameter for the air conditioning units. The results show hourly mean temperatures and energetic demands due to air conditioning during the course of a year. This study is focused in discussing the possibility to reduce the energy requirement of a planned or existing building, by evaluating several conventional and commercially available constructive systems, without modifying the geometry of the building.
