The calculation model of the new Portuguese thermal regulation : put side by si...
Description
Nowadays, there is a global urge to reduce the energy consumption, in order to slow down the environmental pollution, Since the building sector is one of the main energy con¬sumers in Portugal, there is a great pressure for enhancing the energy efficiency in this sector. Currently the measure with more potential to effectively reduce the buildings energy consump¬tion is the new Portuguese thermal regulation. However, to guarantee a good performance in re¬ducing the energy consumption, the thermal regulation must present a good precision in the heating and cooling needs estimation, Therefore, the calculation model of this regulation was evaluated in relation to a dynamic simulation tool - VisualDOE. This evaluation was carried out applying both estimation methods to the Test Cells built in the School of Engineering of the University of Minho and the results obtained demonstrated a good performance of the thermal regulation
