    The document discusses periodic heat flow in buildings. It notes that climatic conditions produce non-steady state variations where heat flows into buildings from outdoors during hot periods and out of buildings during cool nights, in a repetitive cycle. It describes how during the day, heat enters the outer wall as outdoor temperatures rise, and each wall particle absorbs heat and transmits it to the next particle, delaying the rise in indoor temperature. When outdoor temperatures peak and fall before indoor temperatures reach the same level, the stored heat in the wall is partly dissipated outside and partly inside.

    Periodic Heat Flow
    In nature the variation of climatic conditions produces a non- steady state.
    The effect of this on a building is that in the hot period heat flows from the
    outdoors into the building, where some of it is stored, and at night during
    the cool period the heat flow is reversed: from the building to the outside.
    As this cycle is repetitive, it is described as periodic heat flow.

    The diurnal variations of external and internal temperatures is a periodic


    • cycle. In the morning, as the outdoor temperature increases, heat starts
    entering the outer surface of the wall. Each particle in the wall will absorb a
    • certain amount of heat for every degree rise in temperature, depending on
    the specific heat of the wall material. Heat to the next particle will only be
    transmitted after the temperature of the first particle is increased. Thus the
    corresponding increase in the internal temperature will be delayed.

    The outdoor temperature reaches its peak and starts decreasing, before the
    inner surface temperature has reached the same level. From this moment
    the heat stored in the wall will be dissipated partly to the outside and only
    partly to the inside.
