Comparative thermal performance of static sunshade and brick cavity wall for energy efficient building envelope in composite climate
Energy efficient building technologies can reduce energy consumption in
buildings. In present paper effect of designed static sunshade, brick cavity
wall with brick projections and their combined effect on indoor air
temperature has been analyzed by constructing three test rooms each of
habitable dimensions (3.0 m × 4.0 m × 3.0 m) and studying hourly temperatures
on typical days for one month in summer and winter each. The three rooms have
also been simulated using a software and the results have been compared with
the experimental results. Designed static sunshade increased indoor air
temperature in winter while proposed brick cavity wall with brick projections
lowered it in summer. Combined effect of building elements lowered indoor air
temperature in summer and increased it in winter as compared to outdoor air
temperature. It is thus useful for energy conservation in buildings in
composite climate
