Thermal analysis of a social interest household in Uruguay
Resumen:
The thermal characteristics of a social interest archetype in Uruguay were analyzed in order to determine possible improvements. EnergyPlus was used to simulate the household during a typical year, estimating cooling and heating requirements for thermal comfort in several configurations. The accuracy of the model was verified by simulating a real case where the temperature of a particular household was monitored during a period of 2 weeks; good agreement was found between numerical and experimental results. The obtained results show that the energy requirements to achieve thermal comfort in this particular archetype can be reduced with small design variations and specially implementing training workshops for the owner of the houses.
