1、2010 ASHRAE 177ABSTRACTIncreased thermal performance of metal building roof andwall assemblies can be achieved by using double layers offiberglass batt insulation. Determination of the installeddouble layer assembly U-factor is more complex than that ofa single layer assembly when each layer has dif

Finally, anexample is presented to illustrate the application of the U-factor equations. These equations compris

4、metal build-ing roof and wall assemblies. These U-factors were originallydeveloped through finite element analysis (FEA) models thatwere validated against calibrated hot box (CHB) measure-ments (Graber 1998). Each U-factor was based on manyassumptions that were considered to be typical or representa

5、-tive values at that time. The FEA models replicated the drapethat was observed in the CHB tests. However, the fundamentalquestion was whether the CHB drape was representative oftypical field installations and this has generated considerabledebate.The installation and subsequent centerline drape of

6、thefiberglass batts in metal building roof and wall assemblies arecontrolled by the insulation installer. Installation instructionsexist but there are no specific criteria regarding the centerlinedrape necessary to achieve the desired thermal performance(NAIMA 2006). Thus, field measurements of actu

7、al installa-tions provide the best record as to the actual drape that exists.Once the actual drape is known then it can be used to deter-mine the corresponding U-factor. Historically, the U-factorswere determined by either CHB tests or FEA modeling, andboth are expensive and time consuming.The SSPC

8、90.1 Envelope Subcommittee identified a needto be able to calculate these U-factors using simpler mathe-matical models. To develop these models they formed a taskgroup to address these problems which were divided into fourseparate activities. The first activity was to develop newcomputational fluid

9、dynamic (CFD) models which were thenvalidated against CHB test results (Choudhary et al. 2010).Second, a simplified model for a single layer of fiberglassbatts was developed and correlated back to the CFD results(Choudhary and Kasprzak 2010). Third was the developmentof a simple model for double lay

10、ers of fiberglass batts, whichis the focus of this paper. Fourth, field and experimental lab-oratory measurements of typical or representative drape pro-files, including center line measurements, were completed andthose results were used in combination with the simplifiedmodels to calculate the prop

11、osed roof and wall assembly U-factors for Standard 90.1-2010 (Christianson 2010).Double layers of fiberglass batt insulation are a typical con-struction option used to achieve higher thermal performance inmetal building roofs and walls. When the double layers have dif-ferent material properties it i

12、s more difficult to determine thecombined U-factor. To address this fundamental problem aseries of experimental tests were completed and the results wereused to develop a simplified U-factor calculation procedure.ASHRAE Standard 90.1 Metal Building U-FactorsPart 3: Equations for Double Layers of Fib

15、onsOBJECTIVEThe objective was to develop a simplified calculationprocedure to determine U-factors for double layer fiberglassbatt insulation assemblies in metal building roof and wallassemblies.DERIVATION OF DOUBLE LAYER FIBERGLASS BATT INSULATION THERMAL PERFORMANCEThe U-factors for metal building

16、roof and wall assembliesare complex to calculate because they include non-typicalconditions including draped fiberglass batt insulation that iscompressed over the structural member to thicknesses whichvary with the clip height and the possible presence of a thermalblock. The complexity is further in

17、creased when there are twolayers of fiberglass batts present, each with different physicalproperties.The determination of the thermal performance of doublelayer fiberglass batt insulation was divided into four distinctsteps. First, the compression of double layer fiberglass batt in-sulation was expe

18、rimentally evaluated. Second, a simplifiedequation was developed to calculate the U-factor that accountsfor the fiberglass batt compression. Third, a correlation be-tween the detailed CFD modeling and the simplified equationfor a single layer of fiberglass batt insulation was used. Thiscorrelation a

19、ccounted for the additional details associatedwith the metal clips that were included in the CFD model butexcluded in the simplified model. Fourth, centerline drapemeasurements were used in the simplified model to calculatethe overall U-factors. Details on the experimental measure-ments, the develop

20、ment of the U-factor equations and an ex-ample using the equations follow.Experimental Measurements on Compression of Fiberglass Batt InsulationFor the purpose of computing the thermal performance ofdouble layers of fiberglass batt insulation, the relevant prop-erties of the individual layers need t

For fiberglass batt insulation,however, the problem is compli

28、density of the fiber-glass is continuously increasing as it is compressed, andincreasing density leads to a continuously increasing effectivespring constant. This effect can be quantified by referring tothe literature on mechanical properties of cellular foams,whose compression curves strongly resem

Assuming that the fiberglass batt effective springconstant (or compression modulus) obeys the cellular foam“square law,” then:(3)where is a constant of propor

Employing Equation(6), this means that:F 01(1 01) = 02(2 02)(7)Beginning with Equation (7), a quadratic equation can bederived (Appendix A) relating the compressed thickness of anindividual fiberglass layer to the total compressed thickness:(8)Example of Double Layer Fi

34、159 m)These correspond to layer 1 being nominally R-13hft2F/Btu (R-2.29 Cm2/W) and layer 2 being nominallyR-19 hft2F/Btu (R-3.35 Cm2/W).The behavior of the individual layer thicknesses as thisdouble layer is compressed to about one-fourth of its initialthickness is shown in Figure 4. As expected, th

Properly accounting for theseeffects via the methodology outlined above improves our abil-ity to characterize the thermal performance o
