DOI: 10.1016/j.apenergy.2021.116582
Abstract: Abstract The thermal characterisation of a building envelope is usually best performed from on-site measurements with optimised controlled indoor conditions. Conversely, occupant-friendly measurement conditions provide less informative data. Notwithstanding occupancy, the boundary conditions alone contribute… read more here.
