Abstract

This paper presents a simple mathematical model for solar space heating in a non-airconditioned building with movable insulation over the roof pond. The building room considered is of rectangular shape (6 m x 5 m x 4 m) based on the ground. The effects of heat conduction to the ground, heat transfers to furnishings and heat losses due to air ventilation/infiltration have been taken into account in the general heat transfer analysis. The day-to-night change of insulation over the roof pond has been represented by a rectangular step function variation of the heat transfer coefficient at the pond's surface. An increase of 3 to 4°C in the room air temperature is achieved by means of movable insulation over the roof pond on a mild winter's day (17th February, 1982) in New Delhi.
