Field thermal imaging surveys of residential buildings – a prerequisite for the development of energy-efficient external enclosures

https://doi.org/10.58224/2618-7183-2024-7-6-1
Abstract
The work involved a full-scale thermal imaging survey of a residential building during a hot period of time, where the effect of solar heating of the building's façade and the inner surface of the outer enclosure was studied, taking into account the orientation of the building and the time of the survey. As a result, it was found that the effect of solar heating on the building’s façade significantly increases the temperature on the façade surface, where, depending on the façade orientation and time, the building’s façade surface is exposed to heating from the east, west and south sides. Thus, the maximum values of the façade surface temperature reach 63.1°C, 57.0°C and 53.4°C, respectively, which is almost twice as high as the initial temperature values. Solar heating also has a significant effect on the temperature of the inner surface of the external enclosure, also depending on the façade orientation. Thus, on the east side in the morning, the surface temperature of the external enclosure increases by 3.8°C, which continues until 16:00. The influence of the sun provokes heating of the inner surface of the external enclosure of the living room on the western side by 4.2°C, and on the southern side the maximum temperature on the surface of the inner enclosure was observed in the period from 12:00 to 16:00, which exceeded the initial one by up to 3.8°C. At that, the influence of heating from the sun on the northern side was not observed. With that, it was found that the influence of solar heating of the building façade provokes deviations in the microclimate of the room, where the deviation in the permissible internal air temperature of the living room is 14.1% during the day, and in the optimal humidity by 13.3% in the afternoon. The findings of this study can be taken into account when designing or developing new energy-efficient external enclosing wall structures, where the criterion of heat resistance must also be taken into account in parallel with the criterion of heat protection in the climatic features of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Analysis of thermal efficiency of external fencing made of innovative ceramic blocks

https://doi.org/10.58224/2618-7183-2024-7-3-1
Abstract
The paper presents a comprehensive theoretical study of the external fencing structure made of innovative Porortherm 38 ceramic blocks in comparison with traditional structures made of solid ceramic brick, hollow ceramic brick and gas block. The study was conducted in the climatic conditions of Shymkent city, South Kazakhstan. The middle temperature values of the frostiest 5 days with a provision of 0,92 were adopted as the external temperature. The results of the study of the actual resistance (Rf) of the structures under study showed that all adopted structures meet the condition Rf˃Rreq, while the actual resistance of the new structure is 1.3 times more efficient than traditional ones. The analysis of temperature fields showed that the new structure is 2% more efficient than traditional ones. Moreover, no additional insulation costs are required. The obtained results were also confirmed by computer modeling in the ELCUT software package. The results of calculating the humidity regime showed that a condensation area appears in almost all the structures under consideration. The results of calculating the amount of moisture evaporated from the multicoat structure of the external fencing during the torrefaction period showed that all the accumulated moisture will evaporate during the specified period, the calculation of the condition of inadmissibility of moisture accumulation in the structures of external fencings for an annual period and for the period of moisture accumulation showed that all the considered structures meet the requirement . The results of calculating the air regime of multicoat structures of external fencings also showed that all structures including the new one meet the condition . The result of calculating the value of thermal inertia (D) in the proposed structure is up to three times more efficient than traditional structures, which applies to structures with high inertia (7˂D). The obtained results of the study indicate that the new proposal of a structure made of ceramics is cost-effective, innovative blocks can be proposed as a supplement to the register of materials of existing standards.

Thermovision study of a residential building under climatic conditions of South Kazakhstan in a cold period

https://doi.org/10.58224/2618-7183-2024-7-2-1
Abstract
In this study, a nine-storey residential building was examined for thermal protection, located in Shymkent, Republic of Kazakhstan. Two two-room flats were considered with the possibility to inspect the exterior envelopes in four orientations. The examination was carried out at different times of the day according to three criteria: exterior envelope in the form of corner joints, translucent enve-lope in the form of window openings and the exterior façade of the building. The study found that the temperature at the surface of the room joints at lunchtime increased from 0.8% to 12% depending on the orientation of the exterior envelope. At the same time, it was found that in the morning and evening hours the temperature inside the living rooms is maintained at 25.8 - 26.5ºC due to excessive con-sumption of heat energy by increasing the heating power up to 15.6% relative to lunchtime, which leads to an excessive increase in air temperature by 7 - 18%. The value of humidity of living rooms also showed non-compliance with the optimal value by 3 - 15% relative to the current norms. As a result of the analysis of thermograms of translucent openings it was found that the surface temperature of the envelope at lunchtime increased by 9.9 - 23.2% in all cases of orientations, and the surface tem-perature of translucent openings of southern orientation is on average 18.2% higher relative to other orientations, which also indicates the influence of solar radiation on the thermal values of translucent openings. The analysis of thermograms and temperature of characteristic points of the external façade with regard to orientations showed a temperature difference from 7.5ºC to 21ºC depending on the ori-entation of the building, where the most exposed to solar radiation façade of southern orientation, which showed an increase in surface temperature by 3 times. Thus, the obtained results of the study will further contribute to the development of energy-efficient designs of external enclosures, consider-ing the influence of all factors on the process of heat exchange, which is the main objective of the au-thors’ comprehensive study.
