Abstract: The design of a building must take into account its dynamic thermal behaviour. In this paper, we model the building as a thermal network and discuss the equivalent passive solar elements. We then discuss a modular computer program able to calculate the dynamic thermal behaviour of the building, the effects of overheating, the saving due to thermal control and the fraction of the load satisfied by passive solar elements.
