GBE Equations
- Decrement Delay Factor (Equation) G#31148
- UK Building Regulations Part L dictates attention is given to winter heating energy demands but ignores (so far) summer solar heat gains
- How long does it take for solar radiant heat to pass through the external building fabric to start modifying the internal temperatures
- Heavyweight construction offers a longer delay
- Lightweight construction usually offers short delay
- However some thermal insulation materials can provide that delay in lightweight construction
- This equation can begin to address this issue.
- Form Factor (Equation) G#38342
- The ratio of external envelope to floor area or volume ratios can be used as a design driver to improve building energy efficiency
- Simple singular cubic design is more efficient than multiple, long thin or sprawling buildings.
