New mathematical approaches to the quantification of uncertainty affecting the measurement of U-value

This thesis describes the development and validation of a new computational procedure for the calculation of thermal transmittance (U-value) of existing building elements from the measurement of surface heat flux, and surface and nearby air temperatures. The U-value plays a key role in the determina...
