Introduction

ζ Buildings are inextricably linked with the natural environment must therefore be
designed to meet the criteria imposed on them. Last but not least is the thermal
protection of buildings. The building is to create a suitable internal environment,
among others Hygrothermal microclimate. This environment is made up of not only
building structures as well as technology environment (hardware installations of
buildings - heat, heating, cooling, ventilation, air conditioning, etc.).
This part of the physics building will be devoted to the description of processes in
nature (heat and moisture flow, the movement of matter (air) - on the basis of
temperature, humidity, pressure and their changes.
The first chapter is devoted only to idealized steady thermal state, i.e. such a state
when the temperature change with time.

1.1 Basic physical factors

Temperature, light and sound are among the physical factors of the environment in buildings where a long
and active again. Therefore, a temperature has significant impact on working and resting, ultimately the
health of users of building. Nowadays people spend most of their time indoors.

According to WHO (World Health Organization), it is up to 90%. The design and construction of buildings is
to create an environment whose parameters should be for humans:
- More favorable than the state of the natural environment outdoors.
- Construction and building protects us:
 from extremes of temperature,,
 moisture,
 excessive noise.

In contrast, allows:
 access to daylight into the interior,
 and where necessary - sunlight into the interior,
 building solution can also affect desirable listening to audio signals and
productions.

Physical factors are not only for users of the building but the building itself, its construction and the
equipment. In this regard, individual departments of construction physics differ significantly:

 The sound is perceived by hearing of living organisms including humans, while the influence on the
construction in this case is virtually eliminated

 Daylight perceive visually living organisms including humans, in this respect is also considered
daylight. In particular, direct solar radiation can sometimes affect the function and durability of structures
and objects are located in the interior due to temperature and chemical changes induced by the action of
ultraviolet and infrared components of sunlight
 Temperature affects the hygrothermal state of the environment and in our latitudes (climates) is
associated with energy demand for heating (cooling). Therefore, thermal engineering design of the building
significantly affects fuel economy of the building, because the temperature is very closely related to the
transition structures of water vapor (water vapor diffusion), condensation of water vapor, resulting in effects
on engeneering solution, the function of structures and their life.

Knowing the importance of physical factors leading to create the gradually need for legislation to control the
state of environment in buildings. Selected physical quantities are: sanitary regulations, technical
standards as set out criteria for assessing buildings and their external environment and their ability to
ensure the protection status or influence.

1.1.1 Criterions for assessment

As criteria are also concepts that have the following characteristics:

11
Building Physics – Module 1

 value is closely related to exposure evaluation of physical factors on the construction and building
users. Sound and light are evaluated solely in terms of their effect on humans.
 The criteria therefore reflect the degree of influence of acoustic and visual comfort and
health of people using the building.
 They can’t therefore describe only the actual physical phenomena (sound, light), but not
necessarily respond to the physiological and psychological circumstances of human perception of these
phenomena. Account of the sensitivity of sensory organs (hearing and vision).
 The design of the building is reasonably available and reasonably accurate method of predicting values
of demanding criteria calculation, which takes into account all relevant factors affecting the value of the
criteria.
 To put the building into a permanent use for the current control is suitably challenging and reasonably
accurate method of control values, criteria for measuring the realized buildings.
 Criteria for the limit values to be fair to all participants of construction investment, ie particularly
compatible with the relevant provisions of the Civil Code. Using criteria to effectively contribute to the health
and quality of life for building users and users of premises and their surroundings. In developing the criteria
and the establishment of limit values is necessary to exclude all other interests than the efforts to ensure an
optimal environment in buildings.
 Comply with all requirements imposed on the criteria is not easy.

Each of the criteria are appropriate limits. These can be basically threefold nature:
 the lowest (minimum) required value (napr. č.d.o. D %)
 the highest (maximum) acceptable – (napr. the equivalent sound pressure level LAeq (dB))
 acceptable range (interval value) - a standard reverberation time T (s)

The limit value is a criterion that at any given time in the company and the territory is considered
borderline between satisfactory and unsatisfactory condition. The choice is always a compromise. Basic
criteria imposed on the building structures. According to the Act. no. 50/1976 those are:
- mechanical resistance and stability of the structure,
- fire safety of buildings,
- hygiene and health and the environment,
- security building with its use,
- protection against noise and vibration,
- energy efficiency and heat buildings.

1.1.4 Factors affecting the thermal properties of building materials

Thermal conductivity „“ is an essential feature of thermal matter.

The „“ depend mainly on the structure and building materials. It can still be influenced by:
1. density – that is to say the content of the pores in the mass of the substance

for air   0,028 W/(m.K) in pore size cca 0,1 mm

  0,071 W/(m.K) in pore size cca 2,0 mm

15
Building Physics – Module 1

2. moisture agents for water   0,58 W/(m.K)

for ice   2,3 W/(m.K)

3. temperature of the substance with increasing temperature increases the value of 


[W/(m.K)]
o
for temperatures ranging from 0 to 100 C approximately true

 = =0 . (1 + 0,0025 . )

4. direction of heat flow in layered substances in the direction perpendicular to the value „“
less than in a direction parallel

5. effect of chemical composition of the substance inorganic substances, in general, lead to


better heat as organic. Inorganic substances acidic in nature (granite, quartz, ...) have higher

values "" as alkaline substances (limestone, sandstone, ...)

Thermal conductivity "" as you can see there is a constant value, is influenced by many factors. Therefore,
it must be defined according to certain rules - according to EN ISO 10456th To ensure the thermal
properties of building structures and thermal protection of buildings in the construction equipping of thermal
insulation. Certified products have the certificate of conformity with the thermal conductivity "" expressed
the declared value, but to characterize the products built in the state of the specific boundary conditions is
necessary to establish the design - the calculated value of the coefficient of thermal conductivity "".

declared value of thermal variables - expected values of thermal properties of building material or product
(product certification)
 estimated from measured data at reference conditions of temperature and humidity

 for the fixed part and a confidence level

 appropriate reasonable expected service life under normal conditions

The certificate of conformity according to the declared value must be alleged in one of two sets of conditions
o o
with reference temperature + 10 C (I) or + 23 C (II) and the moisture content corresponding to the steady-
state moisture sorption (conditioning at least 6 hours before the test) relative humidity of 50%. Declared

a. design-calculated value of thermal values - values of thermal properties of building material


or product for specific internal and external conditions that are considered typical of the behavior of the

circumstances).

1.3 Basic models of heat transfer


Necessary condition for heat transfer is that there must be a temperature difference

 = 1 – 2  0

Heat is spread in any environment is always from higher temperature to lower temperature.
a Conduction – conduction

b Convection – convection

c Radiation – radiation

d Transition – transmissions

17
Building Physics – Module 1

1.3.1 Conduction

Heat is spread mainly in solids, in liquids and gases only under certain conditions. It's the gradual transfer of
kinetic energy oscillations of one molecule (around the equilibrium position) when striking the second
molecule. This energy is gradually transferred from the direction of higher energy state (high temperature) to
lower.

1.3.2 Convection

The heat spreads only in fluids, so that the particles of substances move - move while transmitting heat.
Local heating or cooling of air causes the movement of particles

 natural (free) convection. The natural air movement is bounded by the speed of movement.

To increase the velocity used mechanical devices (fans, pumps, ...)

 forced (artificial) airflow.

1.3.3 Radiation
Heat radiation is dependent on the thermal state of body and character of its surface.
Radiation heat transfer - the transfer of electromagnetic waves with a length of about 760-3000 nm. Radiant
bodies ability at a given temperature is limited by the maximum value. At the same temperature or the same
substance (bodies) do not have the ability radiant.

Ideal - the absolute (black) body  maximum radiant ability

1.3.4 Transition

If the temperature at various points of the body - structure constant over time, then such a state is said

 Steady state temperature   = f (x)

If both sides of the circuit design ambient temperature (air) varies

 = 1 - 2  0  tructure passes through the heat flow direction from higher to lower temperatures. The
density of heat flux "q" passing through the structure is directly proportional to the temperature difference
between air „a“ and further depends on the thermal properties of partition structures

- This process is called  heat transfer design

Thermal resistance in m .K/W inhomogeneous structures is determined from the solution of two-
dimensional temperature field. Thermal resistance is possible to determine the approximate procedure for
transforming one-dimensional solution to the following procedure:

Proper selection of the structure is divided into sections parallel to the direction of heat flow (single-layer,
multi-layer), assuming that the sections do not affect each other. Representation of individual sections is
expressed by the areal proportion of the total area of selection fa + fb + fc = 1

Further characteristic design selection is divided into layers perpendicular to the direction of heat flow
(homogeneous, heterogeneous)
layers

Summary

Σ Buildings are inextricably linked with the natural environment must therefore be
designed to create suitable building has indoor environment including thermal-
moisture microclimate. The Chapter is devoted to the assessment, calculation of
criteria that are placed on buildings in terms of thermal insulation of buildings.
The first is to explain the basic physical units, their multiples, calculation,
comparison. The entire chapter is devoted to thermal steady state, ie such a
case, when the temperature in indoor environments or in exterior change. Task is
to assess the packaging structures, ie claddings, roofs and according to the
homogeneous one mA multi-layer, also using air cavities, but also the evaluation
of structures that are heterogeneous and can be assessed when considering
jednorzmerného heat distribution in a fragment of such structures.

2. The concept of building envelope in terms of thermal transient response,


moisture tolerance, thermal effusivity of the floor

Role

Δ The purpose of this chapter is to familiarize students with the concept and design of
Building Structures in terms of transient thermal state, i.e. state when the temperature
varies with time. Since expression of this state is quite difficult and mathematically
impossible, evaluate design in terms of so-called quasi - stationary temperature state,
i.e., temperature varies only in the external environment. Within the calculation and
evaluation remains virtually constant. This is a review of packaging structures that are
exposed to the external environment, i.e. perimeter, roof deck and the ground floor. In
terms of transient conditions are also evaluated packing structures when exposed to
moisture conditions and evaluates the annual balance of condensed and evaporated
moisture to water vapor diffusion.

Objectives
After studying this chapter you should know:
- Evaluate building design in terms of transient thermal state
- Humidity regime, i.e., condensed and evaporated moisture by diffusion of water vapor in
the annual session
- Rate floor design in terms of trapping heat in the building
- Rate floor design in terms of thermal techniques for field

Introduction

ζ In this chapter we will address the design and creation of construction building envelope
structures. Gradually, we will explain what it is unstable temperature condition, what are
the evaluation criteria, such as packaging design are evaluated in terms of heat storage,
heat absorption, the floor in terms of trapping heat, resulting in the evaluation of the
thermal inertia of building structures and their impact on internal environment of buildings.

2.1 Thermal transient response

In real environment, the ambient temperature varies depending on time  = f {x,y,z,t}

We talk about  Thermal transient response.

Practically it can demonstrate to the specific example of heating the body over time. The body moved to a
warmer environment will gradually begin to heat.

For detailed analysis of thermal transient response need to find the dependence of temperature and heat
transfer in the amount of time at any place "x" housing - structures.

Assume that the heat spreads only in one direction (in flat structures perpendicular to the surface). This is
possible if we assume a sufficiently large area of the structure compared to its thickness. This is the most
common case in practice. In Figure 2 /:

Dissemination of periodic temperature fluctuations

The outer temperature of the real environment is constantly changing, but every day we have a maximum
and a minimum  harmonic periodic action

External time variation of temperature causes the temperature fluctuations on the inner surface of the outer
partition structures  harmonic temperature changes in one-day period

How does the (fluctuating) temperature on the inner surface in relation to external temperature change
depends on the thermal storage properties of built-in materials

2.2 Moisture tolerance at the envelope level at night

Building materials, with few exceptions, always contains moisture. Moisture may be present in all the states
of water. Humidity greatly affects the thermal properties of building materials, especially thermal conductivity
"" and specific heat capacity "c". Distribution of moisture in building structures is usually uneven and
depends mainly on water vapor pressure, temperature, structure of a substance or composition structures.

2.2.1 Humidity sources

In seeking the causes of moisture is necessary to find out how the moisture got into the design and how
long it works. Moisture can manifest in several forms. Therefore, the source of moisture can be divided into
groups:
1. Built-in moisture  so. technological moisture, which in structure gets wet process (bricking,
concreting, plastering, etc.).

Possibility of removing  prefabrication, lean assembly

44

2. Rising damp  enters the structure from the ground by capillary action through the

2.2.2 Air humidity

Atmospheric air is always a mixture of dry air and water vapour. The total pressure and air mixture is the
sum according to Dalton law of partial - the partial pressures of the components (O 2, N2, CO2, H2O vapour,
etc.), from our perspective is needed analysis for assessing the mixture of dry air and water vapour

is the condensation of vapour. This follows from the equation of gas:

2.2.3 Vapour diffusion

The different air temperatures in the environment and the same relative humidity "”  are partial vapour
pressure "pd" different (gas equation of state), even though the moisture content in a given space is
constant. Therefore, there is a displacement of molecules of vapour from sites with higher pressure to
places of lower pressure  vapour diffusion.

If the indoor air temperature will change  also the “pd” will change

therefore pd = f {  }

2.2.4 Interstitial condensation

Transient of water vapour

Diffusion of water vapour carried from the higher partial pressure to a lower value through a structure that
separates areas with different partial pressures. The partial vapour pressure "pd" is dependent on
temperature "a” and the water vapour air saturation - "a”, and therefore the direction of "qd" is the same
way with "q" as opposed to air filtration.

3. By relative humidity “ai”, “ae” calculate “pdi” a “pde”

4. Create graphical courses of partial vapour pressures in scale, axis giving

2.2.5 Consequences and requirements for the building fabric

Moisture in the structures deteriorates their thermal properties. It is therefore necessary to design
building structures where possible, to avoid condensation. Depending on the type of internal
operations humidity in indoor environments can be divided into operations

dry ai  50 % moist ai  60 – 80 %

normal ai  60 % wet ai  80 %

From an economic point of view is not always possible to design structures without condensation.
If the condensed moisture in the structure does not interfere with the character design in terms of
static safety, durability or service life and so on. is possible within the construction permit a certain
amount of condensation. In no case is it possible surface condensation (with selected exceptions).
If construction occurs in the condensation must be satisfied.

The computational procedure for determining annual balance

a. without the solar radiation

Annual moisture balance without affecting the solar radiation is determined from the total duration of
temperatures in the abundance of selected "j" - intervals of ambient temperatures "e". Usually determines
the difference e = 5 K in the range defined in Table 3. (from – 20 °C to 25 °C).

b. with solar radiation

The annual moisture balance of solar radiation, the calculation carried out in parts, taking only the frequency
of the outside air temperatures

 overcast sky conditions

 clear sky conditions

The part of calculation for overcast sky conditions is carried out without solar radiation, only the
calculation of values instead of the total abundance of "t" to insert the table 3 values “tz”.
The second part of calculation for clear sky conditions is realised with values “tj” from table 3 and outside air
temperature is enhanced by solar radiation and sol-air temperature “ej” is at stake. It is given by:

55
Building Physics – Module 1

ej = e +  . Im . Rse

with  - absorptivity of solar radiation by the outside surface


2
Im – main radiation intensity, [W/m ]
2
Rse – outside surface film resistance factor, [W/(m .K)]

Sol-air temperature “ej” is posed into calculation of the outside partial vapour pressure “pde”.

Another procedure of calculating the annual balance is similar as mentioned above.


In evaluating the annual balance of moisture, summary values are:

positive  condensation occurs, i.e.

amount of condensed water vapour during the year is „gk“

gk =  gdj . t > 0 alebo  gdj . tz > 0  gdj . tj > 0

negative  condensation not occurs, i.e.

amount of evaporated vapour during the year is „gv“

gv =  gdj . t < 0 alebo  gdj . tz < 0  gdj . tj < 0

annual balance of moisture is, when absolute value „gv“

gk  gv positive

gk  gv negative

Note:
If the annual moisture balance calculated without the impact of solar radiation is positive, such a
construction is still reserve for potential further drying in the course of solar radiation.

2.2.6 Building fabric evaluation of moisture limiting

For solved surface:

i. e., that the partial saturation vapour pressure “psat,si“ for surface temperature indoors “si“ have to be
higher value than the partial saturation vapour pressure “psat,ai“ for air temperature indoors “ai“ with relative
air humidity ai = 50 %.

for ai = 20 C a ai = 50 %  functional demand


o
Example:

psat{ ai =20 C } = 2336,74 Pa 


o
2336,74 / 0,8 = 2921 Pa

56
Building Physics – Module 1

 2921 * 0,5 = 1460,5 Pa  si,80 = 12,6 C  si


o

For the fixed value of partial vapour pressure p = 1460,5 Pa temperature is calculated in relation to the
saturation state  = 12,6 C (equals to the dew point temperature pd ).
o

For the fixed indoor conditions, critical surface temperature indoors “si,80“ is approximately given by:

Under certain conditions, the structures there may be condensation. Condensation is undesirable in the
structures, in which the condensed vapour affects the required function (formation of mold, static strength,
reduced service, etc.). Therefore, full-year amount of condensed amount in the construction “gk“ should be
gk = 0.

technology, building hydro-insulation technology and anti radon measures.

the symbiosis expressing the optimal solution in the theory of structural
production of buildings have to be presented.

substructure of industrial buildings and underground based on the knowledge
of thermal regime of soil - sub base, as one of the important components of
soil climate. It is obvious, that every correct thermo technical calculation
requires precise specification of boundary conditions. The soil temperature is
presented in our case as one of the boundary conditions at the production of

3.1 Insulation - Technical analysis land and its impact on the basement floor
solutions of hall buildings

The solution of problems of building thermal technology in the field of substructure of


industrial buildings and underground based on the knowledge of thermal regime of soil - sub base,
as one of the important components of soil climate. It is obvious, that every correct thermo
technical calculation requires precise specification of boundary conditions. The soil temperature is
presented in our case as one of the boundary conditions at the production of structure details of
substructure of analyzed buildings.

3.1.1 Temperature of soil

Within the regulation of temperature regime of soil (heating and cooling), the thermotechnical
characteristics of soil plays an important role. The most important of them is based on the
continuous change of humidity, the high variable factor of thermal conductivity of soil λ
(W/(m.K)), which is the function of soil density, soil porosity, weight moisture, temperature, soil
granularity and other factors. For example, with the descending of soil porosity and increasing of
soil density increases the factor of thermal conductivity of soil. With the moisture content of soil
increases its factor of thermal conductivity (f. e. the factor of thermal conductivity of sabulous
clay with natural humidity is 1,4 and the factor of thermal conductivity of humid sabulous clay is
up to 2,3), and the increase is rapid at lower humidity. With the rise of soil granularity slowly
increases the factor of thermal conductivity. The higher the value of thermal conductivity factor
of soil is, the faster increase or decreases the temperature of soil. Among other thermotechnical
characteristics we can include the factor of thermal conductivity of soil and (m2/s), thermal
capacity of soil b (W.s1/2/ (m2.K)), ability to accumulate heat and others.

An enormous amount of energy reaches the Earth’s surface in form of solar radiation. Solar energy,
which falls on the Earth, does not reach the Earth’s surface in whole amount. The large amount of
solar energy is redirected back through the atmosphere into the space, before it reaches the Earth’s
surface (see fig. 1). The electromagnetic radiation is therefore partly absorbed by the atmosphere
and partly by the Earth’s surface. Solar radiation, which after passing the atmosphere, reaches the
Earth ´s surface, has the spectral scope from λ = 280nm to λ = 3000 nm. In our climatic and
geographical conditions the intensity of global solar radiation, which consists of right and diffused
part, available at horizontal surface at no cloudy conditions, can reach the value of 900 – 1000

61
Building Physics – Module 1

W/m2. At cloudy sky the diffusive solar radiation at horizontal surface can have value of 100 – 200
W/m2.

Fig. 1 Solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface

The Earth’s surface regulates the thermal regime of soil by absorbing and reflecting the solar
energy. Proportion of basic parts of solar radiation changes depending on condition of sky, whether
it is clear or cloudy, as well as on cloudiness and degree of atmosphere pollution. The highest
influence of solar radiation on course of temperatures in soil is in summer season.

3.1.3 Thermal swing in untouched soil

The soil temperature, as one of the entry boundary conditions at production of structures of
substructure of industrial building from standpoint of thermal technology, influences daily and
nightly swing, which can be only found to the certain depth. The highest thermal swing is on the
Earth’s surface due to the influence of solar radiation. For example (see fig. 3), the dynamic
thermal differences on the Earth’s surface, which were measured in a distance of 1 m from outer

62
Building Physics – Module 1

skin of industrial building on the northern and southern side on chosen day of the measured
period.
Daily thermal swing in soil can be observed approximately into a depth of 1 m. It changes
depending on arrangement and co lour of soil surface, on absolute altitude and surface protection
and also on speed of wind. In moisture soils we can see smaller daily thermal swing, because the
temperature difference among layers of soil profile is smaller. Annual thermal swing is influenced
by thermal regime of soil, depending on heat accumulated by soil in summer period, in our climatic
conditions at a depth of 15 m. From depth of 15 metres under the ground level in our climatic
conditions the temperature in soil does not change in dependence of an amount of solar radiation
falling and year seasons changing, i.e. we assume with the constant temperature soil (see fig. 3).
.

Fig. 2 Thermal swing on Earth’s surface.

Within the solution of thermo technical problems of sub base of industrial buildings of hall type
found on background terrain are important for us only the thermal courses at a depth of 3 metres
under the ground level. The modelling of the structural details of substructure for basement less
buildings, for example, the contact of base, external cladding and floor on the background terrain,
aimed to determine the temperatures on inner surface of the building structure, is based on this
idea.

3.2 Temperatures in underground of industrial building

Distribution of temperatures in underground of industrial buildings is not a much studied area of


building physics so far, although it is closely related to correct calculations of thermal loss of the
buildings.
Measurement of soil temperature in underground of building is not an easy realizable task. In
principle, it is possible to do such measurement, if it is included in advance, before the realization
of the industrial buildings, or before realization of background concretes.
Nowadays designing of the structural details in substructure of industrial buildings of hall type
is based only on the theoretical assumption of temperature, which assumes the same temperature of
5 °C under the whole floor area (at a depth of 3 m). Considering that mentioned temperature is
used as entry parameter for calculation of thermal loss of industrial floor structure on background
terrain, it is an assumption, which should offer thermal loss on the safety side, it means rather
higher than the real loss is. In our case, based on the idea, that temperature of soil at a depth of 3
meter under the level of ground is equal to average annual outer temperature θm,e (in our place
from 5,9 °C in Poprad to 9,9 °C in Bratislava), with the estimated temperature θ z = 5 °C, we are
on the safety side.

64
Building Physics – Module 1

The centre of by us solved problems is the industrial building and underground. Under the term
industrial building we understand the upper and lower structure. The lower structure of industrial
buildings of hall type, which based on background terrain, is made of the base structures connected
to the floor structures. The underground is represented by mechanical properties of soils (f. e. angle
of inner abrasion, shear strength, and etc.) and physical properties of soils (thermal conductivity,
thermal capacity, density, weight moisture and etc.). Properties of soils are influenced by
conditions of outer climate (daily and nightly thermal swing, intensity of rain, snow layer and etc.),
geological – hydrological conditions (ground waters and their chemical structure) and geothermal
data.
In underground of industrial building (ground plan size of 72 380 x 36 460 mm).The description
of individual measured points is shown on fig. 4,5.
Industry in the building concentrates on the production of electro technical components and
metal production (light industry), where we assume the inner calculation temperature θi = 18 °C
and relative moisture φi = 50 %.

3.3 Description and aims of temperature measurements in underground of the


industrial building

Measurements were realized in March, July, and November 2007, in March, July, and
November 2008 of which we chose the most favorable weekly measurements from 12.03.2007 to
18.03.2007. Within the scope of these measurements, the temperatures in sub base of building at a
depth of 1 meter, two and three meters under the level of adjacent ground (in vertical direction)
were measured. At measurement were used 20 sensors (5 probes x 4 Ntc. readers) of soil
temperatures. The temperatures were recorded in vertical direction in a distance of 1,0 m in front of
building (I.), near the base structure on the northern (V.) and southern side (II.), in a distance of 2
meters form base structure (IV.) in direction into and in the middle of the building (III.) (See
figure 5). At the same time the temperatures and relative moistures of inner and outer air were
recorded by 2 readers. In this time period were also measured immediate surface temperatures on
the floor (in close proximity with the external cladding), in a distance of 0,5 m, 1,0 m, 1,5 m and
2 m from the inner surface of external structure and in the middle of the industrial building by
contact thermometer.
The aim of individual measurements is to analyze courses of temperatures in sub base of the large
buildings of hall type. It is obvious that soil temperatures measured near the base structure are
different from temperatures measured in the middle of the building of hall type, sometimes up to 2
or 3 °C. This knowledge can be applied at new structural solutions of building structures and
details of contact of base, external cladding and floor on background terra at large buildings of hall
type.

3.4 Measured values of temperatures in underground of the industrial building (see


fig.3 – fig.5).

As an example are quoted temperature courses measured at a depth of 3 meters under the
level of adjacent ground in a distance of 1,0 m in front of building (probe I.) and close to the
base structure (probe II.) at the beginning of week, in the middle and at the end of week (see graph
No. 3).
It is the numerical value of soil temperature at a depth of 3 metres under the level of adjacent
ground, which appears to be one of the boundary conditions at designing the structures and details
in contact with the ground, with the aim to determinate temperatures on inner surface of the
building structure.

66

4. Options for addressing the problems of thermal subsoil industrial production


buildings

The measured temperature values in the subsoil industrial production buildings can be applied
to model the construction details of its understructure. Thermal problems subsoil of these buildings
can be solved by application of various theories and methods:
a - the method of folding the stationary flow heat transfer in the massive of a planar surface
that can be applied to the approximate calculation of heat loss of heated floor industrial production
buildings fixed with a terrain,
b - the analytical method for the calculation of temperature fields and modeling the change in
the aggregate state of matter, which we can apply to more accurately determine the temperature of
freezing the soil, especially in their high moisture content,
c - Finite Difference Methods for Fourier differential equation for two-dimensional and three-
dimensional heat conduction in the modification of a wide range of programs that can be applied
to determine the temperature regime detail contact base, white walls and floors to the natural
terrain of the specific structural and material solutions.
Currently, there are a number of computer programs that will address the issue of subsoil industrial
buildings, be it a program for the calculation of transfer of heat and moisture in the almost
stationary, or calculation applications based on solving a large number of equations for the
nonstationary model boundary conditions of the external environment in the form of in the
reference test, and the like. We are more dedicated folding method of stationary flows, which can
be applied to approximate calculation of heat losses industrial floor design and modeling of
temperature fields in order to determine the temperature at the inner surface of the construction
details contact base, external cladding and flooring on the ground grew in the industrial building
hall type.

4.1 Method of folding stationary heat flows

Energy transport in industrial production basement of the building based on intermolecular


exchange pulse. The driving forces are temperature differences. This creates a complex process
that can be described by physical laws (eg. The law of conservation of energy).
In applying this method we are considering the curve of heat flows from the inside surface to the
cooler outer surface, which will have a circular shape. Isotherms are displayed as a beam
emanating from a point

4.2 Method of calculation and modelling of thermal fields in structural detail of


contact of base, external cladding and floor on the background terrain

The method of modelling of thermal fields is useful at designing and evaluating the structural
details from standpoint of thermal technology, for example, aimed to determinate temperatures on
inner surface of the building structure θsi (°C). It is obvious, that the designer influences the

74
Building Physics – Module 1

complex plan of the building within the plan of partial building structure. The industrial buildings
of hall type are characterised by their large built – in up area. Their floor structures design and
realisation in connection to the others building structures requires the appropriate attention to
provide the normative requirements at optimal economical seriousness, as well as suitable inner
working conditions, that influence the activity of workers, quality of work and consequently all
economical aim of operating company. Therefore the quality of working environment can be
reached only by respecting the specific claims resulting from the base of working action, using
knowledge of actual level of scientific and technological knowledge and creative attitude with
regard to evaluation process.
At designing the floor structures on the background terrain in connection to the other bearing
constructions are important two require men.
a), hygienic requirement (on the inner surface of the building structures cannot condensate
water vapour).
b), economical requirement (floor structures on the background terrain with external structures
included should participate with their physical and technical properties on complex power
performance of building).
Currently, there are a number of computer programs that will address the issue of subsoil
industrial buildings, be it a program for the calculation of transfer of heat and moisture in the
almost stationary, or calculation applications based on solving a large number of equations for the
nonstationary model boundary conditions of the external environment in the form of in the
reference test, and the like. We are more dedicated folding method of stationary flows, which can
be applied to approximate calculation of heat losses industrial floor design and modeling of
temperature fields in order to determine the temperature at the inner surface of the construction
details contact base, external cladding and flooring on the ground grew in the industrial building
hall type.

4.3 Structural detail of contact of base, external cladding and floor o thebackground

At designing the building structures and premises determined by condition of internal


environment of all building types are required four basic criteria in terms of valid normative
regulations. One of them is the hygienic requirement, that says, that temperature on the inner
surface should by higher, at most equal to critical temperature of surface defined at 80 % of
relative air moisture in close proximity of inner surface of the building structure, at inside air

75
Building Physics – Module 1

temperature θai (°C) and relative moisture of inside air φi (%), with safety loading included, which
regards the way of heating and use of a building.
θsi ≥ θsi,N = θsi,80 + Δθsi (°C) (1)
For inner surfaces of the industrial buildings with inner calculation temperature θi = 18 °C and
relative moisture φi = 50 % is the minimal required temperature on the inner surface of the
building structure θsi = 11,73 °C, with the radiant heating of the industrial buildings assumed.
Another important criterion at designing the floor structures is the criterion of minimal thermal
insulation properties of the building structures. The floor structures in new buildings should be
designed the way, that the value of their coefficient of passage of heath U (W/(m2.K)) is lower, at
most equal to the normative value of coefficient of passage of heath UN = 0,40 W/(m2.K) in a
distance of 2 metres from the inner surface of the outer wall.
Our referential building has designed the skeleton structural system. Base structures consist of
base Springer under the steel pillars and base bands under the light external cladding from PUR
boards. Necessary parameters of air in inner working environment are secured in winter period by
radiant heating, in summer period by necessary air conditioning. The production of electro
technical components and small production operates at two – shift system, but we think, that the
industrial building, at such defined conditions will not show inside profits higher than 25 W/m3.
The centre of analyzed experiment is the structural detail of contact of base, external cladding
and floor on background terrain. This serious structural detail has existed also in the past, but it
gains its unique importance nowadays, with the development of modern technologies and with the
tendencies of reducing of material and power seriousness of industrial buildings. It is important to
mention, that the referential building evaluated by us had incorrectly designed and realized
structural detail of contact of base, external cladding and floor on background terrain, from the
analyzed standpoint of building thermal technology (see fig.10).

84
Building Physics – Module 1

Our task was to evaluate the structural detail of contact of base, external cladding and floor
on background terrain in the industrial building of hall type designed by architect of building (see
fig. 10), based on boundary conditions defined according to STN 73 0540:2012 (θe = -15 °C, φe =
84 %), STN EN 12 831 (θi = 18 °C, φi = 50%) and from the theoretical assumption of soil
temperature at a depth of 3 metres under the level of adjacent ground (θz = 5 °C). Designed
structural detail of contact of base, external cladding and floor on the background terrain is
evaluated by the calculation programme Psi-THERM 2D, which can be applied to evaluate the
thermo technical properties of building structures and structural details. Such designed floor
structure on the background terrain does not fulfill by norm recommended values of temperatures
on inner surface (see fig. 18).

θsi ≥ θsi,N = θsi,80 + Δθsi = 10,73 + 1,00 = 11,73 °C


θsi,N = 11,73 °C
θsi = 9,58 °C < θsi,N

The second requirement of minimal thermal insulation properties of building structures, i.e. R >
RN, and at the same time U < UN, is not fulfilled. Similarly the requirements of moisture spread
through the structure , i.e. Mc < Mev a Mc  0,5 kg/(m2.a), are not fulfilled, and in the structural
detail of contact of base, external cladding and floor on the background terrain will appear the
condensation of water vapour on the inner surface at given boundary conditions.

Considering that the error was done within the project design, the required criteria according to
STN 73 0540:2012 are not fulfilled. It is obvious, that such designed structural detail is from
standpoint of thermal technology thermo technically undersized. The reason can be found not only
in small thickness of added vertical thermal isolation of the base structure, but also in the position
of light external cladding in the structural detail. At realization of the industrial building of hall
type, these defaults were multiplied by the incorrect realization of structural detail of contact of
base, external cladding and floor on the background terrain and by violation of the principles,
aimed to create the healthy environment for user of building, to avoid the formation of
condensation of water vapour on the surface and inside the building structures, and to secure
economical use of energy for building heating at keeping the required thermal comfort.

4.3.3 Confrontation of measurements with the designing of structural detail of


contact of base, external cladding and floor on the background terrain

At the same time the measurements of surface temperatures on the marked places were realized
(see fig. 2) In one – hour intervals from 12.03. To 18.03., by the thermometer 830 – T2, with
attached external thermal probe - contact measurement of temperature. For clearness and closer
comparison we chose the thermal courses on the inner surface of the floor structure in close
proximity of the external structure, at a distance of 1 m and 2 m from the external structure and in
the middle of the industrial building of hall type during chosen day (14.03.), i.e. in the middle of
the week (see fig.2)
The aim was to evaluate the structural detail of contact of base, external cladding and floor on
background terrain in the industrial building of hall type designed by architect of building at
measured boundary conditions (Table 1) and compare with the recommended values of surface
temperatures defined in STN 73 0540-2,3:2012.

The final values of temperatures in table No. 1, on the inner surface of floor structure point out,
that the measured values are lower than calculated values of surface temperatures. The reason can
be found in quality of realized building operations of the structural detail of contact of base,
external cladding and floor on background terrain in the industrial building of hall type.

4.4 Modified structural detail of the contact base, external cladding and slab on ground in
the industrial hall building Variant V0 – V8

Consequently we determine to design optimally economical and structurally accurate detail of


contact of base Variant V0 – V8, external cladding and floor on background terrain in the industrial
building (see fig. 19) and evaluate it from the standpoint of hygienic criterion, based on the
boundary conditions defined in accordance with STN 73 0540:2012 (θe = -15 °C, φe = 84%), STN
EN 12 831 (θi = 18 °C, φi = 50 %), and from the theoretical assumption of soil temperature of at a
depth of 3 m under the level of adjacent ground (θz = 5 °C). At the same time there was the
requirement to leave the designed material base by architect. To eliminate the thermal loss in
structural detail of contact of base, external cladding and floor on background terrain, not only in
the floor, but also on outer side of the external structure, we place the thermal insulation (extruded
foam polystyrene) from outer side of the base structure with regard to optimal thermo technical
sequence of the external cladding and already mentioned base. This will markedly influence the
whole course of factor of floor heat transfer on background terrain. At the same time it was
necessary to place thermal insulation under the prefabricated light – weight external cladding (in
joggle - a band of thermal isolation of thickness of 30 mm).
The critical spaces of junction of the floor structure on the background terrain, base and
external cladding in the corners of interior are specific by lowering of surface temperature
roughly by 2 °C. In this case, these places are heated from outer side by additional bands of
thermal isolation, by which the normative requirements (hygienic criterion) at designing the
mentioned building structures and details in the inner working environment are fulfilled.

New industrial buildings start to come near to the non – productive buildings by their variety
from standpoint of architecture. In close future, we can expect increasing interest in the quality
architecture of the industrial buildings. The accurate design of individual building structures and
structural details should contribute to this. One of them is also the structural detail of contact of
base, external cladding and floor on the background terrain. The mentioned structural detail has
already existed in the past, but it gains its unique importance with the development of modern
technologies and with the tendencies of reducing of buildings material and energy seriousness.
This serious structural detail occurs in wide range of the low – floor buildings, also in industrial
buildings of hall type. The correct and economical solution of thermo technical problems of
substructure of industrial buildings, with regard to the normative requirements, gains an unique
importance, as these buildings are in many cases designed and realized as large – sized buildings.
At substructure structure solving is important to respect not only the static requirements, but also
the physical and technical requirements, preservation of quality of the details and arrangements of
substructure.

Summary

Σ Thermal insulation is now a word that we heard all around particularly with
respect to rising energy prices in line with long-term strategic goals of
reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency in buildings. What is
the subject of European Parliament and Council 2013/31/EU of 19th May
2010 on the energy performance of buildings. The European Union has
committed to reduce by 2020 overall greenhouse gas emissions by 20% at
least compared to year 1990. To the same date to reduce energy
consumption in EU countries by 20% and achieved in total energy
consumption 20% share of renewable energy sources. This can also
contribute to solving the lower structure for a new generation of energy
efficient buildings.
