Thermal performance of lived-in passive solar buildings: 2 - school retrofit at Yeruham, Israel

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper describes various, partially improvised, experiments that were devised in order to assess the thermal performance of a solar retrofit that was added to a school building. Typical measurements results are shown and analyzed. Two definitions are given for the system efficiency of solar retrofits to large-mass structures: one for the case when there is no backup system to complicate the analysis, and one for suggested use when auxiliary heating is present.
