ABSTRACT

The article deals with thermal performance of external building wall under dynamic thermal conditions. There are compared the results of experimental measuring of the thermal performance of building structures in a timber-frame passive house under real boundary conditions (during the summer) with theoretical calculations using the dynamic simulation method.
The experimental timber-frame passive house is fitted with a range of measuring sensors, which monitor the development of temperatures, strain and other quantities on the inside, in the building structures and in the subsoil. The results of measurements of total stress in the soil under the foundation slab are also described.
