Sentences with phrase «fabric heat loss»

Conversely, in passive house, as well as national conventions in many countries, fabric heat loss is calculated by measuring the building externally.

The HLI is defined as follows: HLI = (Fabric Heat Loss + Ventilation Heat Loss) / (Floor area of dwelling)[W / (K ∙ m ^ 2)-RSB-

Not exact matches

We discourage cotton clothing as it causes rapid heat loss when wet (Satan's fabric).

The minimum requirement will be based on the total heat loss for the dwelling, which includes the fabric and ventilation heat loss.

Modern glazing solutions however, with their coatings and inert gas fillings, can reduce heat loss to levels approaching those of the opaque fabric.

This was because single glazing or uncoated double glazing had a relatively high heat loss compared to other parts of the building fabric.

This represents just 12 % of total fabric transmission heat loss, where an average U-value of 0.16 W / m2K is used, and can be achieved readily using optimised yet standard construction systems.

The value is area - weighted over the area of the exposed building fabric, so it describes as a whole the amount of heat energy loss (due to thermal bridging) over each square metre area of the building fabric for every one - degree temperature difference between inside and outside.

If a house has an average area - weighted U-value for all elements of 0.16 W / m2K, for example, this would mean that 33 % of fabric transmission heat loss is due to thermal bridging.
