摘要:

Energy is consumed in heating the air infiltrating into houses maintained at temperatures above ambient. By using climatic data tapes and a daily profile f or indoor temperature of a house, it is possible to calculate factors which, in conjunction with a relationship between air change rate r and wind speed V of the form r= a +βV, enable the energy consumption due to infiltration to be calculated on a monthly basis. This has been done for Melbourne, Australia. The factors are tabulated on a monthly, annual, and heating season (April-November) basis. The energy consumption for the heating season has been plotted for a range of values of a and β along with the energy savings possible if infiltration is restricted to 0.5 air change per hour. The benefits of ‘house tightening’ are discussed.

摘要:

This paper surveys the causes of failures in ceramic wall tiling. It is concluded that the physical properties of tiles should be carefully analysed at the time of their selection, and quality rather than colour and texture should be the main selection criterion.
