1、Designation: C 1155 95 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Practice forDetermining Thermal Resistance of Building EnvelopeComponents from the In-Situ Data1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1155; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in

2、the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers how to obtain and use data fromin-situ measurement of temperat

3、ures and heat fluxes on build-ing envelopes to compute thermal resistance. Thermal resis-tance is defined in Terminology C 168 in terms of steady-stateconditions only. This practice provides an estimate of thatvalue for the range of temperatures encountered during themeasurement of temperatures and

4、heat flux.1.2 This practice presents two specific techniques, thesummation technique and the sum of least squares technique,and permits the use of other techniques that have been properlyvalidated. This practice provides a means for estimating themean temperature of the building component for estima

5、ting thedependence of measured R-value on temperature for thesummation technique. The sum of least squares techniqueproduces a calculation of thermal resistance which is a functionof mean temperature.1.3 Each thermal resistance calculation applies to a subsec-tion of the building envelope component

6、that was instru-mented. Each calculation applies to temperature conditionssimilar to those of the measurement. The calculation of thermalresistance from in-situ data represents in-service conditions.However, field measurements of temperature and heat flux maynot achieve the accuracy obtainable in la

7、boratory apparatuses.1.4 This practice permits calculation of thermal resistanceon portions of a building envelope that have been properlyinstrumented with temperature and heat flux sensing instru-ments. The size of sensors and construction of the buildingcomponent determine how many sensors shall b

8、e used andwhere they should be placed. Because of the variety of possibleconstruction types, sensor placement and subsequent dataanalysis require the demonstrated good judgement of the user.1.5 Each calculation pertains only to a defined subsection ofthe building envelope. Combining results from dif

9、ferent sub-sections to characterize overall thermal resistance is beyond thescope of this practice.1.6 This practice sets criteria for the data-collection tech-niques necessary for the calculation of thermal properties (seeNote 1). Any valid technique may provide the data for thispractice, but the r

10、esults of this practice shall not be consideredto be from an ASTM standard, unless the instrumentationtechnique itself is an ASTM standard.NOTE 1Currently only Practice C 1046 can provide the data for thispractice. It also offers guidance on how to place sensors in a mannerrepresentative of more tha

11、n just the instrumented portions of the buildingcomponents.1.7 This practice pertains to light-through medium-weightconstruction as defined by example in 5.8. The calculationsapply to the range of indoor and outdoor temperatures ob-served.1.8 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thest

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the appli

Summary of Practice4.1 This practice presents two mathematical procedures forcalculating the thermal res

28、istance of a building envelopesubsection from measured in-situ temperature and heat fluxdata. The procedures are the summation technique (1)3and thesum of least squares technique (2, 3). Proper validation of othertechniques is required.4.2 The results of each calculation pertain only to a particu-la

29、r subsection that was instrumented appropriately.Appropriateinstrumentation implies that heat flow can be substantiallyaccounted for by the placement of sensors within the definedsubsection. Since data obtained from in-situ measurements areunlikely to represent steady-state conditions, a calculation

30、 ofthermal resistance is possible only when certain criteria aremet. The data also provide an estimate of whether the collec-tion process has run long enough to satisfy an accuracycriterion for the calculation of thermal resistance. An estimateof error is also possible.4.3 This practice provides a m

31、eans for estimating the meantemperature of the building component (see 6.5.1.4) for esti-mating the dependence of measured R-value on temperature forthe summation technique by weighting the recorded tempera-tures such that they correspond to the observed heat fluxes. Thesum of least squares techniqu

32、e has its own means for estimat-ing thermal resistance as a function of temperature.5. Significance and Use5.1 Significance of Thermal Resistance MeasurementsKnowledge of the thermal resistance of new buildings isimportant to determine whether the quality of constructionsatisfies criteria set by the

33、 designer, by the owner, or by aregulatory agency. Differences in quality of materials orworkmanship may cause building components not to achievedesign performance.5.1.1 For Existing BuildingsKnowledge of thermal resis-tance is important to the owners of older buildings to determinewhether the build

34、ings should receive insulation or other3The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis practice.C 1155 95 (2007)2energy-conserving improvements. Inadequate knowledge ofthe thermal properties of materials or heat flow paths within theconstruction or degradation

35、of materials may cause inaccurateassumptions in calculations that use published data.5.2 Advantage of In-Situ DataThis practice provides in-formation about thermal performance that is based on mea-sured data. This may determine the quality of new constructionfor acceptance by the owner or occupant o

36、r it may providejustification for an energy conservation investment that couldnot be made based on calculations using published design data.5.3 Heat Flow PathsThis practice assumes that net heatflow is perpendicular to the surface of the building envelopecomponent within a given subsection. Knowledg

37、e of surfacetemperature in the area subject to measurement is required forplacing sensors appropriately. Appropriate use of infraredthermography is often used to obtain such information. Ther-mography reveals nonuniform surface temperatures caused bystructural members, convection currents, air leaka

38、ge, andmoisture in insulation. Practices C 1060 and C 1153 detail theappropriate use of infrared thermography. Note that thermog-raphy as a basis for extrapolating the results obtained at ameasurement site to other similar parts of the same building isbeyond the scope of this practice.5.4 User Knowl

39、edge RequiredThis practice requires thatthe user have knowledge that the data employed represent anadequate sample of locations to describe the thermal perfor-mance of the construction. Sources for this knowledge includethe referenced literature in Practice C 1046 and related workslisted in Appendix

40、 X2. The accuracy of the calculation isstrongly dependent on the history of the temperature differ-ences across the envelope component. The sensing and datacollection apparatuses shall have been used properly. Factorssuch as convection and moisture migration affect interpretationof the field data.5.

41、5 Indoor-Outdoor Temperature DifferenceThe speed ofconvergence of the summation technique described in thispractice improves with the size of the average indoor-outdoortemperature difference across the building envelope. The sumof least squares technique is insensitive to indoor-outdoortemperature d

42、ifference, to small and drifting temperature dif-ferences, and to small accumulated heat fluxes.5.6 Time-Varying Thermal ConditionsThe field data rep-resent varying thermal conditions. Therefore, obtain time-series data at least five times more frequently than the mostfrequent cyclical heat input, s

43、uch as a furnace cycle. Obtain thedata for a long enough period such that two sets of data that enda user-chosen time period apart do not cause the calculation ofthermal resistance to be different by more than 10 %, asdiscussed in 6.4.5.6.1 Gather the data over an adequate range of thermalconditions

44、 to represent the thermal resistance under the condi-tions to be characterized.NOTE 2The construction of some building components includesmaterials whose thermal performance is dependent on the direction of heatflow, for example, switching modes between convection and stablestratification in horizon

45、tal air spaces.5.7 Lateral Heat FlowAvoid areas with significant lateralheat flow. Report the location of each source of temperatureand heat flux data. Identify possible sources of lateral heat flow,including a highly conductive surface, thermal bridges beneaththe surface, convection cells, etc., th

46、at may violate the assump-tion of heat flow perpendicular to the building envelopecomponent.NOTE 3Appropriate choice of heat flow sensors and placement ofthose sensors can sometimes provide meaningful results in the presence oflateral heat flow in building components. Metal surfaces and certainconcr

47、ete or masonry components may create severe difficulties formeasurement due to lateral heat flow.5.8 Light- to Medium-Weight ConstructionThis practiceis limited to light- to medium-weight construction that has anindoor temperature that varies by less than 3 K (5F). Theheaviest construction to which

48、this practice applies wouldweigh 440 kg/m2(90 lb/ft2), assuming that the massiveelements in building construction all have a specific heat ofabout 0.9 kJ/kg K (0.2 Btu/lbF). Examples of the heaviestconstruction include: (1) a 390-kg/m2(80-lb/ft2) wall with abrick veneer, a layer of insulation, and c

49、oncrete blocks on theinside layer or (2) a 76-mm (3-in.) concrete slab with insulatedbuilt-up roofing of 240 kg/m2(50 lb/ft2). Insufficient knowl-edge and experience exists to extend the practice to heavierconstruction.5.9 Heat Flow ModesThe mode of heat flow is a signifi-cant factor determining R-value in construction that containsair spaces. In horizontal construction, air stratifies or convects,depending on whether heat flow is downwards or upwards. Invertical construction, such as walls with cavities, convectioncells af
