1、Designation: C1155 95 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Practice forDetermining Thermal Resistance of Building EnvelopeComponents from the In-Situ Data1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1155; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in th

2、e case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () 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 temperature

3、s and heat fluxes on build-ing envelopes to compute thermal resistance. Thermal resis-tance is defined in Terminology C168 in terms of steady-stateconditions only. This practice provides an estimate of thatvalue for the range of temperatures encountered during themeasurement of temperatures and heat

4、 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 estimating

5、 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 that

6、 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 labora

7、tory 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 be us

8、ed 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 differe

9、nt 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 resul

10、ts of this practice shall not be consideredto be from an ASTM standard, unless the instrumentationtechnique itself is an ASTM standard.NOTE 1Currently only Practice C1046 can provide the data for thispractice. It also offers guidance on how to place sensors in a mannerrepresentative of more than jus

11、t 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 asstandard. N

12、o other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bil

Summary of Practice4.1 This practice presents two mathematical procedures forcalculating the thermal resistance of a building envelopesubsection from measured in-situ temperature and heat fluxdata. The procedures are the summation t

28、echnique (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-lar subsection that was instrumented appropriately.Appropriateinstrumentation implies that heat flow can be substantiallyaccounted

29、 for by the placement of sensors within the definedsubsection. Since data obtained from in-situ measurements areunlikely to represent steady-state conditions, a calculation ofthermal resistance is possible only when certain criteria aremet. The data also provide an estimate of whether the collec-tio

30、n 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 means for estimating the meantemperature of the building component (see 6.5.1.4) for esti-mating the dependence of measured R-val

31、ue on temperature forthe summation technique by weighting the recorded tempera-tures such that they correspond to the observed heat fluxes. Thesum of least squares technique has its own means for estimat-ing thermal resistance as a function of temperature.5. Significance and Use5.1 Significance of T

32、hermal Resistance MeasurementsKnowledge of the thermal resistance of new buildings isimportant to determine whether the quality of constructionsatisfies criteria set by the designer, by the owner, or by aregulatory agency. Differences in quality of materials orworkmanship may cause building componen

33、ts not to achievedesign performance.3The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis practice.C1155 95 (2013)25.1.1 For Existing BuildingsKnowledge of thermal resis-tance is important to the owners of older buildings to determinewhether the buildings should rece

34、ive insulation or otherenergy-conserving improvements. Inadequate knowledge ofthe thermal properties of materials or heat flow paths within theconstruction or degradation of materials may cause inaccurateassumptions in calculations that use published data.5.2 Advantage of In-Situ DataThis practice p

35、rovides 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 or it may providejustification for an energy conservation investment that couldnot be made based on calculations using published d

36、esign data.5.3 Heat Flow PathsThis practice assumes that net heatflow is perpendicular to the surface of the building envelopecomponent within a given subsection. Knowledge of surfacetemperature in the area subject to measurement is required forplacing sensors appropriately. Appropriate use of infra

37、redthermography is often used to obtain such information. Ther-mography reveals nonuniform surface temperatures caused bystructural members, convection currents, air leakage, andmoisture in insulation. Practices C1060 and C1153 detail theappropriate use of infrared thermography. Note that thermog-ra

38、phy 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 Knowledge RequiredThis practice requires thatthe user have knowledge that the data employed represent anadequate sample of locations to

39、describe the thermal perfor-mance of the construction. Sources for this knowledge includethe referenced literature in Practice C1046 and related workslisted in Appendix X2. The accuracy of the calculation isstrongly dependent on the history of the temperature differ-ences across the envelope compone

40、nt. The sensing and datacollection apparatuses shall have been used properly. Factorssuch as convection and moisture migration affect interpretationof the field data.5.5 Indoor-Outdoor Temperature DifferenceThe speed ofconvergence of the summation technique described in thispractice improves with th

41、e size of the average indoor-outdoortemperature difference across the building envelope. The sumof least squares technique is insensitive to indoor-outdoortemperature difference, to small and drifting temperaturedifferences, and to small accumulated heat fluxes.5.6 Time-Varying Thermal ConditionsThe

42、 field data rep-resent varying thermal conditions. Therefore, obtain time-series data at least five times more frequently than the mostfrequent cyclical heat input, such 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

43、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 to represent the thermal resistance under the condi-tions to be characterized.NOTE 2The construction of some building components incl

44、udesmaterials whose thermal performance is dependent on the direction of heatflow, for example, switching modes between convection and stablestratification in horizontal air spaces.5.7 Lateral Heat FlowAvoid areas with significant lateralheat flow. Report the location of each source of temperaturean

45、d heat flux data. Identify possible sources of lateral heat flow,including a highly conductive surface, thermal bridges beneaththe surface, convection cells, etc., that may violate the assump-tion of heat flow perpendicular to the building envelopecomponent.NOTE 3Appropriate choice of heat flow sens

46、ors and placement ofthose sensors can sometimes provide meaningful results in the presence oflateral heat flow in building components. Metal surfaces and certainconcrete or masonry components may create severe difficulties formeasurement due to lateral heat flow.5.8 Light- to Medium-Weight Construct

47、ionThis practice islimited to light- to medium-weight construction that has anindoor temperature that varies by less than 3 K. The heaviestconstruction to which this practice applies would weigh 440kg/m2, assuming that the massive elements in building con-struction all have a specific heat of about

48、0.9 kJ/kg K.Examples of the heaviest construction include: (1) a 390-kg/m2wall with a brick veneer, a layer of insulation, and concreteblocks on the inside layer or (2) a 76-mm (3-in.) concrete slabwith insulated built-up roofing of 240 kg/m2. Insufficientknowledge and experience exists to extend th

49、e practice toheavier construction.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 affect determination of R-value significantly. In theseconfigurations, apparent R-value is a function of meantemperature, temperature difference, and location along theheight of the convection cell. Measur
