Abstract: The thermal performance of a passively heated zone is predicted by calculating the transient temperature variation of each node in the system using a finite-difference model. The sensitivity of the zone air temperature to the change in some of the zone features is examined. Some of these parameters included; the thickness of the walls, using constant and variable heat transfer coefficients, having controlled and uncontrolled thermocirculation in a vented storage wall.
