Abstract Modeling of the thermal behavior of buildings needs effective strategies of analysis and tools. This is particularly true when conduction of heat through walls and/or slabs has to be properly taken into account. This article is concerned with a new modeling strategy for solving the transient heat conduction equation in a finite medium (with extensive background application to the different elements of a building structure). The developed approach is based on the Bond Graph technique, a graphical modeling language which is particularly suitable to the treatment of problems involving energy transfer. With this model, two typical transient heat conduction situations… More >
