Influence of the greenhouse effect on heat transfer through building envelopes

Abstract

The evaluation of heat input through fences is an important part of the task of predicting the summer thermal regime of a building under a transparent dome, the interest in the construction of which in the northern regions has increased recently. The calculation of the summer thermal regime of a building under a dome is complicated by taking into account the greenhouse effect, which requires solving the problem of radiative heat transfer in the system: opaque wall - semitransparent screen - environment. It is also necessary to take into account the convection in the dome space. А relatively simple model for calculating the characteristics of heat transfer through the wall of a building with a dome, which takes into account the greenhouse effect, is considered in this paper. Comparison of calculations with experimental data allows us to speak about the adequacy of the proposed model. It is shown that the presence of semitransparent screen due to the greenhouse effect leads to a significant raise in temperature under the dome and an increase in heat input into the building. The influence of ventilation in the dome space on heat access through the enclosing structure for the selected values of external parameters: external temperature and solar radiation was evaluated. The proposed model of heat transfer through the enclosing structure with a semitransparent screen can become part of a more complete model for calculating the thermal regime of a building under a dome.
