Modelling of thermal processes in apartment houses

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to explore dynamic thermal processes of apartment houses and to investigate the possibilities of energy saving. The building has been divided into a set of individual rooms. A dynamic model of heat-exchange of a single flat and of a part of the house has been created in MatLab Simulink environment. Influence of the switching off the heating in a middle apartment to the temperature in the house has been investigated.
