Thermal performance of heavy-weight and light-weight steel frame construction approaches in the central Pretoria climate

Thermal performance of heavy-weight and light-weight steel frame construction approaches in the central Pretoria climate

Published Article === The purpose of this paper is to analyse the thermal performance of two buildings. The one has a large thermal mass and the other a highly insulated low thermal mass. A typical 120 m2 suburban building was modelled in Ecotect. As part of the model infiltration rate, wind sensiti...
